AW1Ed sends us a link to the Navy Times<\/a> which tells the story of Lieutenant Commander Erika Schilling, a nurse midwife at Naval Hospital Bremerton, who was on a ferry last month with her sons when she overheard a fellow passenger pleas for help on her phone;<\/p>\n

\u201cI just happened to be there and hear that help was needed. I heard her on the phone saying, \u2018this is an emergency.\u2019 My ears went up,\u201d Schilling said.<\/p>\n

A passenger had slumped over and was not breathing. The man\u2019s heart had stopped.<\/p>\n

Schilling, who has 21 years combined experience with Navy Nurse Corps and as a hospital corpsman, rushed to the scene and immediately laid the man on the ground, where she began performing CPR.<\/p>\n

A crew member quickly arrived with an Automated External Defibrillator, while Schilling and a fellow passenger alternated performing CPR. In the end, it took 14 minutes and an exhausting effort by Schilling to save the man\u2019s life.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lieutenant Commander Schilling credits her Navy training for her actions that day.<\/p>\n

The man is currently recovering at his home in Spokane. Schilling has since spoken with him to check on his progress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She was awarded the Life Ring Award on Jan. 18 from Washington State Ferries, usually awarded only to ferry employees. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
