Kyle's first code...

So Kyle worked the NASCAR races this weekend and yesterday he had his very first code! A code is basically when a person is pretty much dead...This guy was out! He was laid out on the curb and not breathing. They had people all over this guy trying to start IV's, breathing for him, starting to put a tube down his throat, and Kyle was doing chest compressions! This was his first time doing real life chest compressions!! It was pretty awesome! So finally they got this guy in the back of the ambulance and start on their way to the hospital. All the sudden, they realize he starts getting some color back and his jaw locks up on Kyle! Next thing they know, he freaking wakes up and starts yelling at them! By the time they got to the hospital, he knew everything that was going on, and was talking to them! It was pretty funny because when he asked them what was going on, they told him that they pretty much brought him back to life, he said "Thanks, you did a good job!" haha It was pretty cool! He was a really nice guy, and really lucky that he made it! The other paramedics that Kyle was with said that they had only seen that happen a couple of times between the three of them! It was so crazy to see that happen on Kyle's very first code patient!
