EMT's are a critical part of maintaining healthy communities and extending a hand to those in crisis. But sometimes, the EMT's themselves need help...
Fortunately, in this case, the EMT in trouble was in the presence of a skilled partner who recognized what was happening and acted appropriately:
When Aetna Ambulance EMT Ray Berwick realized his partner Chris Cabral was suffering a stroke last month, he quickly rushed his partner to Hartford Hospital, where the trauma team immediately operated on Cabral.

This is a great example of situational awareness, reacting swiftly and saving a life. We salute Ray Berwick, it's men and women like him who walk the thin line between chaos and order.
