Before Terrell Mann of Bainbridge graduated Aug. 2 from Bainbridge College (BC) Emergency Medical Technology (EMT) program in the Technical Studies Division, he had already applied some of his training in a rescue situation.
First aid Instructor David Sarrette called his student “a BC hero” as he shared with the college community how Mann had used the practical knowledge he had learned when he came upon a terrible traffic wreck in Seminole County in June.
A pickup truck had rolled over several times, trapping the victim upside down. Mann knew to keep the vehicle in that position to avoid possible further injury to the driver and stayed with the victim until EMS personnel arrived.
They said that they found Mann had done everything right to prevent further injury, Sarrette reported. This was the sixth incident Sarrette was aware of that skills learned in his class were put to practical use to save a life.
Go here for the rest of the story.
