Just last May, as Juliana Crush and her husband, Paul, drove through Splendora to take her son to the doctor, something did not feel right. She felt an uneasy, tightening in her chest and told Paul he needed to call 911. A couple minutes later, she was unconscious on the floorboard of the car. Paul immediately pulled the car over on the side of the road and, while on the phone with 911, began giving his wife CPR. Thanks to Paul’s previous work as an x-ray technician in the hospital, his CPR education came back to him as MCHD 911 Call Taker Jordyn West talked him through compressions. Just four minutes later, MCHD Paramedics and East Montgomery County Fire arrived.After MCHD Paramedics administered shocks from a cardiac monitor, inserted a breathing tube and gave medications to restart Juliana’s heart, she started waking up and fighting back. That is always a good sign because it shows a return of brain function. Once she was stable, MCHD Paramedics transported her to the hospital.“The fact that you received early bystander CPR from your husband, Paul, and four minutes later, CPR and defibrillation from paramedics and firefighters was the key to you surviving cardiac arrest,” said Kevin Crocker, MCHD Division Chief of Quality. “Only about 9% of patients who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest are ultimately released from the hospital, so it is amazing you are here with us today.”Last Friday, Juliana and Paul reunited with all of the crews and thanked them for their work that day.“I would not be here without you guys and my husband. You saved me,” Juliana said. “I have a son who has a traumatic brain injury. I take care of him… his life would never be the same without me. So, I thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart.” #ems #insidemchdMCHD would like to thank all of the first responders involved in Ms. Crush’s care:MCHD ParamedicsDistrict Chief Travis ClayIn-Charge Paramedic Nicola BuchananAttendant Paramedic Dakota BagwellMCHD 911 Dispatch CenterALARM Medic I Jordyn WestEast Montgomery County Fire DepartmentCpt.

It was an honor to be reunited with Rick Riney, who survived cardiac arrest last March. Mr. Riney was in choir practice at church when he collapsed and went unconscious. Multiple bystanders began giving him CPR until MCHD Paramedics and The Woodlands Fire Department arrived and took over. It is truly a miraculous save – Mr. Riney is back to his normal self with a new adoration for first responders, hospital staff and fellow church members who jumped into action to save his life. He and his family expressed their gratitude for everyone involved at a reunion this week at CHI St. Luke’s Hospital in The Woodlands and helped present awards to all paramedics and first responders involved. Thank you to everyone involved in Mr. Riney’s care: Justin Krusleski, MCHD In-Charge ParamedicCatherine Orton, MCHD In-Charge ParamedicScott Sanders, MCHD District ChiefRudy Garza, MCHD 911 Call Taker Jason Enyart, The Woodlands Fire Dept.Jason Brown, The Woodlands Fire Dept.Christopher Redding, The Woodlands Fire Dept.Nicholas Jablonski, The Woodlands Fire Dept. #ems #lifesavers ...

It’s always great when someone stops by a station with an unexpected treat! Thank you to Miya’s Munchies for taking care of our crews’ cravings with a brunch box in honor of 9/11. #ems #community

It was an honor to have @EricJaegerTNG join us for a week-long training on enhancing the safety of physical restraint & chemical sedation of agitated patients. His specialized real-world scenarios brought a fresh take on the subject for our medics. #insidemchd #ems
