TUSCALOOSA, Ala. 鈥 A nurse at the Alabama-Missouri game performed CPR on an EMT, all captured on video.

What the video doesn鈥檛 show is that just before helping the EMT, Erin Mender had assisted a fan who was also experiencing a medical emergency, reported.

鈥淲e got up to our seats, and I was setting my things down, and this woman behind me just happened to be like 鈥極h my gosh, there鈥檚 a medical emergency over there,鈥 and I said, 鈥楧o they need a nurse?鈥欌 Mender told WIAT.

Mender assisted an EMT in treating a fan with a head injury, helping check vitals and getting the fan to an ambulance. As she went back to her seat another call for help came.

The same EMT Mender had assisted earlier was now the person needing help.

鈥淗is eyes started to roll back into his head, and he was falling backward onto someone else,鈥 Mender told WIAT. 鈥淎nd I shook him, and I said, 鈥楽ir. Sir.鈥 He was unresponsive. I felt for a pulse. I did not feel one. I yelled out for someone else to feel one. They confirmed, and I looked around, and I said, 鈥極K, I鈥檓 starting CPR.鈥欌


Every song on our list falls within the recommended 100 to 120 bpm range to perform CPR

Mender has performed life-saving procedures before, but always in the controlled setting of a hospital not in an SEC football stadium.

鈥淚 remember in that moment everything was so quiet around me, but I know it was so chaotic,鈥 Mender recalled to WIAT. 鈥淚 remember thinking if I don鈥檛 get this person back, where are the EMTs? Where are the AEDs? I don鈥檛 know how much longer I can do CPR.鈥

Moments later, the EMT became responsive. WIAT reported he is doing well and expressed gratitude for Mender stepping in to assist him.
