A November training session at 十大博彩推荐排名卫生’s Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) quickly took a real-life turn when a participant went into cardiac arrest. 安迪Honag, RN, a 23-year-old nurse resident who joined DHMC in the spring, was in the Patient Safety Training Center, learning to respond to patients suffering cardiac arrest, when she began to feel lightheaded and asked to sit down.

“That’s the last thing I remember,” Hoang told 美联社 reporter Kathy McCormack in an interview. “I woke up to a room full of doctors and nurses.”

Her colleagues sprang into action, performing chest compressions and connecting her to oxygen and an IV. Thanks to their quick actions and training, Andy survived and is recovering. You can read the full AP story about the frightening ordeal and happy ending 在这里.

“It really changed my perspective on how I view life, like ‘Hug your family a little longer,’”黄说. “Tell them that you love them, because it might be the last time you get to say it to them. And just cherish life for what you’ve been given. It’s precious, and I didn’t realize how precious it was until I nearly lost it.”
