MARSHALL, Il. (WTWO/WAWV) — Clark County EMS Supervisor, Mike Bridges, had to perform life-saving CPR, when his partner went into cardiac arrest.
The initial call was stressful because they were already trying to rescue a patient, when bridges' partner went down and seconds were vital. Though Bridges said he couldn't have helped his partner, Brian Ketterer, without the rest of his team of first responders.
Bridges said he was grateful that due to his training, Ketterer is on the road to recovery. "I actually got to go visit him, so it was nice to talk with him after the fact. Because I went to see him the next day. Well, I guess it was the same day, later on that morning. So yeah, it was great. I'm happy things turned out like that," said Bridges. Ketterer said he is in cardiac rehab
