We will be reporting on lives saved around the world since our first documented life saved here in Singapore.
“He was on the ground, blue and not moving, not responsive,” recalls Ms Schmitt, a nurse and also a fellow passenger at the airport. “I just kept doing (CPR); I didn’t look around. I just did what I had to do, what I was trained to do. I was so happy when the police officer showed up with (a defibrillator),” she says.
She continued performing CPR as the police officer twice shocked Mr Pangle, the businessman with the defibrillator. By the time EMS ( paramedis ) arrived, Pangle had a pulse, although he was still unconscious.
“It makes me feel really good that he survived. I’m so happy he made it through,” Ms Schmitt says.
“It was emotional coming in and knowing that these are the people that saved my life and without them I’m not here. So it’s very emotional.” Mr Pangle says.
