Nurse Saves Man's Life in Parking Lot Rescue
13 Sep
Summary
- Nurse Nicolle Garrett revived a man who collapsed and wasn't breathing.
- Anna Mesh, 16, saved her twin brother using the Heimlich maneuver.
- Both individuals received the silver Life-Saving Award from St. John Ambulance.
A 29-year veteran nurse, Nicolle Garrett, is being honored for saving a man's life. She encountered the individual collapsed and not breathing in a Costco parking lot.
Garrett immediately administered CPR and used a defibrillator, successfully reviving the man. She was later informed by medical professionals that her actions were the sole reason for his survival.
The incident occurred early last year, and Garrett was not even scheduled to be at the location that day. She was nominated for the award by the man's grateful family.
Another recipient of the silver Life-Saving Award was 16-year-old Anna Mesh. She saved her twin brother, Aaron, when he choked on food.
Mesh, trained as a lifeguard and part of her high school response team, swiftly applied the Heimlich maneuver. Her brother expressed his deep gratitude, stating he might not be alive today without her intervention.
