“Greg D. [ASM Paramedic #438] and the crews did a great job with this STEMI patient yesterday. Patient did very well and is fortunate to have been transported to a STEMI center. Nice work for the crew working with the patient to make an informed decision. Cath showed 99% RCA Lesion which was opened and stented.”
