🚑 Above and Beyond the Call 🚑
On August 25 while returning from a call, EMTs Margaret Young and Carsen Begley came upon an unexpected medical emergency while traveling along the Boulevard in Philadelphia.
The crew discovered a pedestrian who had been the victim of a hit-and-run and was suffering from severe, life-threatening injuries. Without hesitation, they stopped, immediately rendered emergency care, and initiated lifesaving interventions.
Recognizing the patient’s critical condition, the EMTs rapidly transported them to the nearest trauma center, providing continuous care and stabilization efforts en route — ultimately keeping the patient alive.
After a lengthy hospital stay, we are proud to share that the patient made a remarkable recovery and has since been discharged.
This incident is a powerful reminder that our crews remain ready at all times! We are incredibly proud of Margaret and Carsen for their professionalism, quick thinking, and dedication to patient care!
