Nurse's Quick CPR Saves Man's Life Outside Hospital

A Canton man owes his life to the prompt response of a Trinity Health nurse who performed CPR after he suffered a cardiac arrest. Tymale Carroll's heart stopped on July 21 while he was driving near Trinity Hospital in Livonia, an unexpected detour that placed him directly across the street from his rescuer.

Nurse Jen Treece was concluding her shift when she noticed Carroll's distress. Upon checking on him, she found his heart had stopped and immediately initiated CPR. She continued these life-saving efforts until emergency medical services arrived and transported him for further treatment.

A little over a month later, Carroll returned to the hospital to personally thank Nurse Treece. He expressed deep gratitude for her actions, emphasizing that he is still alive today for his children and mother. Treece shared her relief and sense of fulfillment in having played a crucial role in saving his life.

Both Carroll and Treece hope their experience will encourage more people to learn CPR, highlighting that not everyone facing a medical emergency will be fortunate enough to have a trained hero nearby.
