OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - EMSA EMT and Paramedics reunited with a patient on Monday making the moment one to remember. According to EMSA, last month EMSA Dispatcher Michael Curtis answered a 911 call concerning a man not breathing a home. Michael was able to coach the patient's wife, Amber, through CPR while directing EMSA Paramedic Sarah Lamp and EMT Korbie Krase to the scene. Upon arrival EMSA crews noticed the patient, Spencer, was in sudden cardiac arrest. Moving into action quickly paramedics used a defibrillator to shock Spencer’s heart four times before his heart sustained an acceptable rhythm.
