Our Nurse of the Week is Carmen Roman, a nurse from Kissimmee, FL, who helped to save a driver who stopped breathing and had no pulse after he crashed into her home. She initially thought she heard someone parking near her house, but then the minivan careened off the road and struck the side of her home.
Roman ran out of her house to assess the damage and found the driver unresponsive behind the wheel with no pulse and not breathing. Even though she was off the clock, she rushed in and began giving the man chest compressions. After 30 compressions he resumed breathing thanks to Roman’s actions.
Surveillance from her home showed the crash and how Roman jumped to action to help the save the man. Later in the video, he is seen walking after being removed from the wreck. It remains unclear what caused the man to crash and whether he will face charges.
Although her home suffered significant damage, Roman was happy to be able to help. She tells fox35orlando.com, “It feels awesome. My kids are so proud, they’re like ‘Momma’s a hero!’”
