On Aug. 30, Jacqi Miller, an alarm operator for Northbrook’s Regional Emergency Dispatch Center, took a call for help from Christian Flores.
“Her son called and said she was verbally unresponsible, and not breathing quite right,” Miller explained.
All three of Wheeling’s ambulances were tied up with calls, so Miller had to call the next closest crew in Long Grove.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.So for the next eight minutes, Miller coached Christian through CPR. Their teamwork plays out on the 911 call. “Doing CPR for that amount of time is tasking. You have to push down on the chest twice per second, 2 inches deep until help arrives,” she said. “He was very calm. I was really surprised, because I could not imagine doing CPR on my own mother.”
