Emergency Preparedness Training Saves Instructor’s Life in a Heart … – LVHN News

He had total faith in their expertise as he experienced firsthand what he teaches every day. His colleagues told him step by step what procedures were taking place, keeping him calm and informed as they raced against the clock.

In the ER, emergency nurses Gia Cirillo, RN, and Emmalie Moyer, RN; emergency medicine physician Jennifer Volpe, DO; and emergency tech Angelique Knect stabilized and prepared him for the next team.

In the cardiac catheterization lab, cardiologist Gordon Freid, DO, respiratory therapist Jessica Cole; registered cardiovascular invasive specialist Brian Ulrich; and nurses Rose Middleton, RN, and Patricia Slutter, RN, cared for Kulick as the blockage in his heart was opened.

As he recovered in the intensive care unit at LVHPocono, he credits Alena Reinhart, RN, Lauren Decker, RN, and Kristen Scalzo, RN, with providing exceptional nursing care.

Because of the teams quick action, Kulick is expected to make a full recovery so he can get back to doing what he loves: helping to save lives. And while he never had any doubts, he knows for sure that the training works.

I am eternally grateful to our LVHN colleagues and doctors at LVHPocono, says Kulick. My time is not up. Theres still more teaching to be done.
