“They saved my life. Because of them, I’m still here. My two-year-old has a dad. My wife has a husband. I just needed to meet these people that gave me a second lease on life,” said Robert Sevalrud.
On October 7th, Sevalrud was jogging along the West Side Highway when he went into cardiac arrest. Bystanders immediately began CPR and called 911. They ran to the quarters of Marine 1, whose members rushed over and continued treatment. EMTs arrived and quickly administered the defibrillator, which restored a pulse. Paramedics on scene stabilized the patient and transported him to Bellevue Hospital. He was discharged and went home to his family. On Wednesday, he surprised the members who helped save his life with a visit at EMS Station 7. We are so grateful Sevalrud is healthy and we are so proud of our members who always help save lives at a moment’s notice.
