Cassie Thomas thought she was just meeting with the media (媒体) at her lunch break. Instead,the nurse at Janet Weis Children's Hospital near Danville got a surprise party from her workmates. It was her first day back to work after a family vacation in Clearwater,Florida,and what a vacation it was!
“Just as I looked up,there was this big pink lightning that just came down and hit the beach,” Cassie said.
Cassie,her husband,and their two daughters were on their hotel balcony (阳台) last week when they heard and saw the storm. After Cassie saw the lightning,she saw two boys lying on the beach. So,she shouted to them. “The one boy sat up and he just started shouting back,and I said,‘Jay,call 911; I'm going.’” Cassie said. So the 31yearold nurse sprang into action. She ran down 16 flights of stairs onto the beach where she found the two boys,Jansen and Cameron,who are from North Carolina. Cameron had no heartbeat.
“I rolled Cameron over and I just started compressing(按压),” Cassie said. She didn't realize it at the time,but she was risking her own life to save the teenage boys.
“My daughters were on the balcony and it was a very dangerous situation to put myself in. I just wished to keep me safe because I was going,” Cassie said. “It just goes to her character to help others. And you know what? When it's your kid,you'd want someone to be coming in and saving his life,” one of her workmates said.
Cassie was there when Cameron got out of the hospital. “He just said,‘Thank you; thank you; thank you.’He gave me so many hugs,” Cassie said. “A nurse never truly goes on vacation. I just keep telling everybody the same thing. It's just what you do.”
Cassie and two other people got Good Samaritan awards(奖) from the Clearwater Police Department for saving Cameron's life. Cassie's workmates said they couldn't be any prouder of this lifesaving nurse.
