General Discussion>A crazy trip to Target
Darrell 06:52 PM 06-03-2009
I was at Target a little bit ago in the underwear section and their was an old guy was leaning against his basket breathing heavy, I thought about minding my own business, but figured I'd walk over and ask him if he was OK. I ask him and he says no and collapses to the floor. Danielle has the Target attendants call 911 and I help him elevate his feet as he starts turning purple, telling me he has already had a quad bypass.

He started making this weird gargling noise while his eyes were closing, so I lifted his head in order to open the air way and then I grabbed his hand and squeezed it and tell him to squeeze mine back as his eyes start closing and he is un responsive, then his eyes open and he keeps squeezing my hands. The paramedics show up and they tell me to move, lol. I hope that he's OK. :-)

He's an older gentleman, 66 named William. I'm praying for him.

That is some really scary stuff, sounds like his new heart was acting up.

Hopefully he is ok.

Way to assist the gentlemen in need. Most people will pretend they see nothing when another person is in need of medical attention and just walk off. Great job.

Great job bro for helping out a fellow in need. Funny thing I had a similar thing happen to me at clinical today. I was giving this elderly lady her breakfast this morning when she start having a TIA attack. One of the aids stated that she was just sleeping. After trying to wake her I notice that she was yawning and had drool coming from her mouth. I stated this wasn't normal and notified the head nurse. We then rush her to her room and applied oxygen to her before calling 911. She was doing fine when I left for the day.

That is a scary situation. A similar thing happened to me back in the day when I worked at CVS. An old lady who worked there collapsed and I was the only one who knew anything to help her. I was 17 at the time. She survived!

Good job Darrell :-) I will be praying
