Oh my gosh, I am so proud of you and I don't even know you. Didn't do enough? You not only knew what to do, but you sprung into action and did everything. Without you, he wouldn't have had a prayer. I used to work on a crisis hotline in college and I will never forget my first suicide call. I checked the obits for days/weeks and cried every time I thought of it. Had I done enough? Until two years later when the same person called back, with a much less severe reason for calling. All we can do is our best and today, your best was fabulous!

You stopped and acted. You threw yourself into the situation and took it on. You most definitely did enough. But I also acknowledge the desire to know... did he come through in the end? will he change his ways?

Thinking of you as you travel through all of the changes happening in your life.

I must have missed this last month. A super-cute place makes up for a lot of things (esp. with a parking spot thrown in, too!)-- and I've always loved those trees. :)

Holy Cow Vanessa! Wow!

How could you feel like you didn't do enough? You are the only one besides the girl who stopped the car to step up...You gave that man at least one more day to live. I hope he is able to take advantage of that and do something about the "spoon and needle" problem. You know, I have a soft spot in my heart for people with those kinds of issues.

Good job girl! Hope you are okay!

Not enough? You did everything!

2012-01-13T10:31:52.327-05:00

If only we could all have you following us around all day. Just in case. I'm super proud of you. Wow. Just wow.

2012-01-12T22:42:16.374-05:00

That is so cool, you did exactly what you were trained to do and that is all you are responsible for. The rest is up to the man who hopefully had a wake-up call to show him where his life is headed if he doesn't change. All we can do is pray or send him positive energy!

2012-01-12T21:51:45.181-05:00

Oh honey, you were wonderful! You did exactly what needed to be done! I completely understand, my first two full arrests in the ER left me in tears by the time I got home & I remember just sobbing. You will wonder what happened to him . . . there are many patients that we see in the ER that I wonder if they made it after they left our care for surgery or ICU, but I'll never know. If not for you that person may not have had a second chance, if you hadn't stepped forward it may have been too late by the time EMS arrived. Know that no matter what the outcome for him is, you gave him the chance to survive. Give yourself a chance to cry because that is an incredibly emotional situation during which your mind and body go into crisis mode and you don't even fully process it all until hours or days later. What happens in situations like these is so often determined by what is done or not done in those precious minutes before EMS arrives and it affects what care is needed by the time that person hits the ER. By being you and stepping up you gave the EMS crew and the ER staff a much better opportunity to save that patient . . . and gave that man a second chance at his life, no matter what he does with it. You are AWESOME!
