And I'm like, he's right.
So, you know, we had one recently that actually made TikTok.
It got like half a million views in 24 hours on TikTok.
A lady recorded us doing CPR at the flea market.
But literally everything that chain of survival worked.
And I think that's what has to happen.
Like if you have a weak chain, you're going to failure there.
So having every strong link be strong.
Uh, whether someone recognizes very quickly, the dispatcher recognizes quickly as a cardiac arrest gets hands on the chest or the bystander, go ahead and choose to get him on chest pre-hospital care.
And then recognizing, Hey, I got to keep this guy alive now.
And then the hospitals, you know, the thing they've changed.
So, uh, we had a gentleman that came out, uh, he's, he's a selling at the jockey lot and,
He goes into cardiac arrest and it was on TikTok.
And I guess I can talk about it since it's on TikTok.
But he survived because every single thing was there.
And we actually, once we get a pulse back, we wait 10 minutes before we move the patient.
at my system just because the system your body is so unstable that we want to stabilize you so we're doing ekg we're hanging pressers uh like epi levo we've got amiodarone lidocaine whatever medication we're starting drips a lot of stuff's going on at 10 minutes and we're just sitting there we don't move you because we've seen now that if we move you you're going to go back into cardiac arrest so we kind of let you chill just kind of hang out for a little bit
And then we work a lot of cardiac arrest now on scene, which is different than when you and I worked together on the ambulance.
Like we were just throwing back the truck and all but to the hospital, like trying to hang on with one hand, doing chest compressions and stuff.
And so now we have to be able to interact with the community and family more with during these cardiac arrests.
