Then Frazier, who is certified in CPR and First Aid began assessing the manโs condition.
In an interview done for WSMV, Frazier told reporters, โWe opened the door, and he was blue. I told Jonathan to park the car, and we both pulled him out and put him on the ground. I said to put him on his left side. His hands and fingertips were blue. I found a pulse, but it was real vague. Anissa came out with the 911 dispatcher (on the phone), and they asked if anyone knew CPR.โ
She got to work trying to save the man by performing chest compressions on him and she even removed her facemask in order to give the man mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
โI started CPR until the fire truck came. It seemed like it took a while,โ Frazier told Clarksville Now. โI pulled his jaw down. He gasped. I kept talking to him. I asked Jonathan to see if he had a license so I could call him by name. I kept calling him by his last name and talking to him.โ
After the encounter, Frazier looked the man up on social media so that she could reach out to him.
She told reporters, โI found him on Facebook โ I couldnโt forget his face or name. He reached back out and said thank you. He said he wanted to repay me, but this is repayment enough to know heโs OK.โ
She believes that it was fate that brought her into work early that day in order to save this manโs life.
โWeโre placed in certain situations for a reason,โ she said. โI do believe I was there for a reason.โ
Itโs stories like these that remind us how important it is to help out others when we can.
She went on to say, โI feel like anybody that knows how to do so should jump at the opportunity to help. We are all human, and we all have to love each other and help.โ
