In Aberdeenshire, Scotland, paramedic Sean McBride survived in July this year only thanks to the quick reaction of his fellow passengers. Close to disaster. He had a heart attack while riding in the ambulance, and he was lucky I noticed quickly had become. The dramatic incident has now led to a heartbreaking reunion.
“I heard a dull sound”
While transporting patients, Sean collapsed in the ambulance but was saved thanks to nurse Freya Smith Nicol and her team. It was only because Tommy Stewart, an amputee patient in a wheelchair, called for help and the nurse realized the urgency of the situation and something worse was prevented. “I heard a thud and all I could see was Sean’s head,” Stewart recalls. I said: He collapsed. But I couldn’t get to the horn because I was wearing a seat belt.” By shouting loudly, Stuart was finally able to get Shawn’s attention.
Freya Smith-Nicole carried out resuscitation procedures for 25 minutes, including using the defibrillator seven times. Sean McBride, the rescued paramedic, thanked rescuers in an emotional reunion for his “second chance at life”: he survived and recovered.
