As you all know I lost over 40 pounds in 5 months so if it ain't school or work its been GYM! 

 

Today though while I was in my cool down a planet fitness hydro bed i start to see flashing lights kinda like emergency vehicles. My time is about done and i wipe the equipment to see what's up and the front desk clerk is in a panic apparently someone collapsed in the men's room possible heart attack!

 

I saw the fire men rushing in asked if they needed any extra hands since I'm trained and employed as an EMT and they were like we got this.

 

I was like well hes not my patient so I better just go get outta of the way got a good photo of the fire truck right infront of my planet fitness and put it on my Facebook.

 

It just feels surreal since I been an EMT as emergencies start to break out usually someone calls for help and I immediately run over and see what i can do sometimes tell people to get my emergency medicine bag and equipment from the car and call 911.

 

Or theres times im in the ambulance showing up and handling it. This was the first time in forever I was just sitting in a hydro bed listening to music after running for 12 miles chilling and shit was apparently going down right behind me and I never knew at all.

 

I have told the manager and assistant manager I'm an EMT but this guy hes just here on Sunday had no clue I guess but man I wish he came and got me I feel so bad I couldn't help this guy.

 

With a heart attack sometimes mintues are the difference between life and death and yeah who do you want trying to help him the freaked out 19 year old who's practically in tears or the EMT who's gone on hundreds of calls already?

 

Sigh 😔 I just feel sad that something I love doing being a apart of the action and saving lives just passed me by today. 

 

I hopes he's okay. 

 

Apparently someone collapsed in the mens room possible heart attack the fire department showed up while I was on the hydro bed chilling out after working outIts like you guys got this 👍 I'm gonna go now. Wish someone had called me earlier I woulda EMTed it up but they are already here so nothing more I can do

Sweet Ginger​(sub female){} - I hope that person is going to be "ok" too....your heart was in the right place to want to help..I think most gyms, staff isn't trained well for emergency situations and they're more concerned about lawsuits than the actual person in distress.

IceGirl​(switch female)Verified Account - Eh i don't know the status as he wasn't my patient and I wasn't involved in the direct care. But i do hope he was ok i assume he pushed to hard and his heart went off abit remember lots if workout supplements do help spike the heart with caffeine and other ingredients.

Yeah he was like scared as a bunny rabbit

Do you have the app PulsePoint in your area?

fluffypoppet​(sub female){Protected}Verified Account - An app that anyone can use to alert if they or someone in the vicinity has a heart attack. The idea is to get someone with CPR and AED training to the person as soon as possible- even before EMTs arrive. If you’re registered you’ll get a notification when someone needs aid within about a mile of where you are. Not every community has it set up but might be worth looking at.
