00:00.170 --> 00:03.830
- At the very least save my arm.

00:03.830 --> 00:06.590
Worse case scenario he saved my life.

00:06.590 --> 00:08.302
- We've trained for stuff
like that but I've never seen

00:08.302 --> 00:11.130
anybody's arm that's cut all
the way down to the bone.

00:11.130 --> 00:14.513
It was definitely a eye-opener.

00:15.520 --> 00:17.580
- It was one of those days where it just,

00:17.580 --> 00:19.813
it was raining really, really hard.

00:20.840 --> 00:22.400
My vehicle hydroplaned

00:23.580 --> 00:25.370
and when it did,

00:25.370 --> 00:29.540
it spun and went into a ditch and

00:31.339 --> 00:32.740
stopped backwards

00:32.740 --> 00:34.920
so that energy and that motion,

00:34.920 --> 00:39.350
my arm slung back and literally
broke out the back window.

00:39.350 --> 00:41.313
That's where the cut came from.

00:43.260 --> 00:45.223
- As I was turning out of my apartment,

00:46.870 --> 00:49.920
I seen truck in a ditch and
then a Jeep on the side of it

00:49.920 --> 00:52.708
with two people standing
outside of the Jeep.

00:52.708 --> 00:55.250
It was obvious that the
truck got in an accident

00:55.250 --> 00:58.560
but I didn't know the severity of it.

00:58.560 --> 01:02.300
I was looking for a paramedic
unit or anything like that.

01:02.300 --> 01:04.343
I didn't see anybody so
that's why I stopped.

01:06.400 --> 01:09.730
- I knew that he had some
sort of emergency training

01:09.730 --> 01:13.700
because he was trying to
figure out how coherent I was

01:13.700 --> 01:18.230
and my injury level and all of that.

01:18.230 --> 01:23.033
Once he realized the blood
loss, he took off running.

01:24.330 --> 01:27.673
- I ran to my car, got
the tourniquet, came back,

01:28.950 --> 01:29.930
put it on his arm.

01:29.930 --> 01:31.820
We're constantly practicing
putting tourniquets on

01:31.820 --> 01:34.900
and constantly practicing
medical scenarios.

01:34.900 --> 01:37.650
A lot of people say your
training just kicks in when it's

01:37.650 --> 01:40.100
supposed to and it's
definitely a true statement.

01:41.130 --> 01:45.660
- When he saw it he just
instantly stopped and

01:46.990 --> 01:47.937
you know that's a

01:51.810 --> 01:53.393
in my mind that's honorable.

01:56.130 --> 01:58.633
He was really kind of my angel.

01:59.580 --> 02:02.705
- I felt like I was doing
something that I would want

02:02.705 --> 02:05.750
someone to do for me or
my wife and my daughter.

02:05.750 --> 02:07.740
I just think it's human
tendency to help people out

02:07.740 --> 02:09.733
when you see that there's need for it.

02:10.840 --> 02:14.020
- You know I'm very grateful
in a lot of ways for him

02:14.020 --> 02:16.793
for his training, all those things.

02:18.600 --> 02:19.880
I'll never be able to

02:22.562 --> 02:24.933
probably say thank you, enough.
