Because We Can All Use It!
Happy Friday, everybody! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. Amidst all the Black Friday commotion and concerning world news, I’ve got a couple of good news articles to share with you, and I chose to share a story of my own, as well. I hope this helps you focus on the position.
Story #1: Help from a Stranger
(Original article found on Apple News, by Laura Kiwerel, November 15, 2023
A lady was driving down the freeway in California and lost control of her car as she tried to reach for a paper that the wind blew around after she opened her window. The van she drove flipped three times, and the driver, Rhiannon, was tossed onto the asphalt and lost consciousness. When she came to, a young man, who told her he was a medical student, was by her side, tying off a tourniquet to her arm and waited with her until the ambulance arrived. Rhiannon remembers that he had a very soothing voice, but she either never knew his name or forgot it.
Her injuries were many and serious, including requiring an hours long surgery to remove the slivers of glass from her arm, which required three dozen stitches. The doctor told her, had the young man not rigged the tourniquet, she probably would have bled to death before she could reach the hospital.
