- A Utah nurse saved a softball player's life after performing CPR during the game. Registered nurse Danya Topham was in the stands when 57-year-old Darren Ewell collapsed on the ball field. She immediately began chest compressions on him right on the field. After more help arrived, paramedics used a defibrillator to shock the man's heart. Thankfully, it worked. He had suffered a massive heart attack on the field that required four heart stents. Now, Ewell calls Topham his guardian angel.
What a beautiful human being. She's still choking up recalling how distraught she was thinking he wouldn't make it... And yet she never stopped trying. Hero material.
I'm here before the trolls with no life comes in
@@mommyissue *cough* goodnight munchie *cough*
Yup.
I would've gotten so 💦 if he didn't survive 😍
@@penelopephelange ok 👍
This nurse deserves to be recognized.More than wanting to have more people like them,we need to be like them.
@@KennyMcCormick5467 Like how we’re not gonna help you on the brink of death
@@KennyMcCormick5467 if they were black. The nurse would of went to the white house and got disney stocks and a statue in Washington DC
@@goodnightmunchie Really, do you have to go there? 😒
Eggactlee
well what u going to do to recognize them ?
A nurse's shift never truly ends.
Love this quote
True!
No ones shift ends in the medical field
Ain’t that the truth!!
especially when your co workers habitually call out 😂
She PERFORMED CPR like it was the most important moment IN THIS MANS LIFE. SHE PERFORMED IT TO THE MAX. She performed it EFFECTIVELY, FLUENT, FAST, GENUINE, and BEAUTIFULLY as she possibly could. This brought me to tears, she literally saved his life because this trained and dedicated nurse knew what she was doing. She made sure in her heart and soul that she did everything she possibly could. I’m in awe. She deserves a standing ovation!
It WAS the most important moment in that man’s life! Only for her quick actions, he wouldn’t be here today! Fair play to her, she did an incredible job!
Too fast is not good…
@@Freezee actually it is good. Better than nothing. Quick beats will just alter the mind into waking up quicker. May be too quick to put the man into a small coma for a little bit but as long as his hearts beating he would be fine. Its like jump starting a car. Doesnt matter how fast you do it but doing it too fast or slow will cause it to stall a bit before running normally. As long as it stays on tho its good.
@@99Em07 I just said too fast is not good
@@Freezee ik and I explained how you were wrong. Its better to be fast than slow.
No pulse and a heart attack with no defibrillator for that long is a miracle. Glad he made it through and so happy she was there to save him. Heroes ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Defibs should be standard equipment for sporting events
Yes they definitely should have them with all first aid.
Heroes never die 🙏
Yes she did!!
Shero!!
Fact that she rushed in and didn't freeze in shock was what also saved a life. Thanks to her quick action taken a life was saved
She a damn nurse.
@@penelopephelange guess what
We don’t give a damn
@@penelopephelange shame on you
@@penelopephelange sounds like a u problem
You don't freeze when you're in the medical field, dude. You'll never see that happen.
CPR is overwhelming to do. Good for her and the cop for stepping in
@@goodnightmunchie "Guess I'll die" Meme? Is that you?
@@goodnightmunchie ur crazy. I’m a housekeeper at a hospital and just took the cpr course. Not easy at all. Very tiring. People have to help take over.
@@goodnightmunchie username checks out. Goodnight.
@@goodnightmunchie Mouth to Mouth underrated
They should've just let him pass onto the underworld 😂🔥
My dad passed away due to a heart attack and unfortunately there was no medical personnel around. Knowing that the right woman was in the right place to save this man's life helps me with my grief.
Same w my dad. Worst day of my life 😢
Same with my dad..
My brother
@@junedaisy707 thats...kinda ironic
@@ThatAviationGamer no you didn't lmao
She’s more than a nurse, she’s an angel! True gem of a human being and a hero!
Perfectly said♡
Not a hero. Grab a dictionary and a psychiatrist.
I agree!
Believe it or not, that woman saved my life when I had a wound infection a couple years ago.
glad you made it out! hope you’re making the most out of it :)) have a lovely day
The nurse is a hero. 🙌
Everyone should learn first aid, and it should be compulsory to be taught at schools.
In sweden, you have to learn cpr to pass the P.E exams.
I really do think it's important.
Yes 🙂
The same thing happened at a softball game that my oldest son played on....and my son and another friend saved the man's life....he is still living and it has been about 7 years. My son did not even tell me. I learned about it the next day on Facebook where the family posted about it!
C.P.R was a part of our PE in school in Ontario. Most people forgot about it though sadly.
It is compulsory?
Respect for that women there, luckily she was a nurse
@@KennyMcCormick5467 this guy again, I keep seeing him everywhere spreading negative stuff

She should've let the player perish 😂
@@PrinceofKW he's a troll...ignore him
As a nurse, this makes me very proud of my profession
We appreciate you. Thank you
As it should. Thank you for what you do!
Same!!!
Doctors would be useless without nurses.
Me too
As a nurse I teared up watching this . Bless her- and its so amazing that he made it . 4 stents - he was bound to have a cardiac arrest at any moment . I implore everyone to learn CPR - you never know what can happen and defibrillators should be more readily available .
I agree, CPR should be taught everywhere and to all age groups.
Yes they should!!!
@ren.g0ku Ty ❤️
didn't he already get cardiac arrest after the heart attack? i thought u can only use CPR and defibrillation when the person has no pulse
You're a nurse, and can't use a very simple 3rd grade thing like punctuation correctly? Scary!
I've worked with Danya for about 7 years. She's an amazing nurse and an amazing person. ❤️
Dude that's so awesome! She really is a real life hero! 💕
Tell her to slow down next time. Do CPR as it's taught: 100-120 compressions/minute. The heart chambers need to fill.
@@scottsent8120 I think you just told her. 😠
@@scottsent8120 and the man lived so there's that. Let's see you jump in and do something like that with no help.
Hero!!! Great job 👏 😍
Yet ANOTHER strong, brave woman giving me a tiny glimpse of faith in humanity in this crappy world! Sending both of them big hugs!

Earlier this year my mom had a heart attack, and she was without a pulse for 25 minutes. Luckily i was out in the garden with her when it happened and thankfully i am CPR trained through the American Red Cross. Since then, she has made a full recovery and even entered her pies again in the Kansas State Fair like she has for the last 40 plus years. This year she placed 1st on all 7 pie categories and won the sweepstakes. I am very thankful and proud to have this amazing woman in my life.
Good job i cant imagine seeing your mom like that.. thank god for you being there and for her recovery
I didn't know I could be so proud of someone placing 1st in all 7 pie categories either! Glad she made it!
Glad she made it. Taking 1st in 7 categories, I wish I could try one of her pies lol.
@@rameychisum2891 hmm, NO, you do CPR as long as it takes....the object is to keep oxygenating the lungs so the brain is still receiving oxygen until the heart has the chance of restarting. There was no "mistake" there at all.😒
@@rameychisum2891 - Hey....take a chill pill.....I'm not "complaining" about you at all???? I'm not a nurse or a para, but several have told me "you don't give up - do it until help arrives" Sorry if I offended your senses.😒😒
To that nurse: Thank you for your compassion, empathy and humanity we need more people like you 🤘🏻💖
This world needs more people like her. A genuine kind spirited soul and a hell of a nurse too !!
Everybody should learn CPR. Drives me nuts that most people don’t know how to do it
Most if us have no money to pay for the clases if you can take them for free.i would tottaly do it.
@@colombiana2710 Fortunately there is this incredible app called CZcams where you can probably find instructions to do it. Better than nothing
in my country, they will put you in jail for doing CPR, they even put nurses for that, if a person will not survive, that's why most of the nurses don't touch patients
@@M21655 until someone has their xyphoid process broken off due to inadequate "training" and improper hand placement.
@@M21655 I wouldn't trust learning CPR thru the internet .if I am gonna learn i am gonna learn the correct way.
I really hope this video encourages people to learn CPR.
@@KennyMcCormick5467 not that you would ever find yourself near someone needing cpr since you spend 24/7 in your mamas basement camping Inside Edition. So you got nothing to worry about ✌️
Absolutely.
@@goodnightmunchie What the actual heck.
@@KennyMcCormick5467 That’s messed up.
@@Pazo139 Dang, you sure told him! 😂
CPR is extremely tiring and difficult to keep the pace. She did amazing. Thankfully the police and ambulance didn’t take an hour to get there
Thankfully! I imagine they switch out people giving CPR in medical facilities for that exact reason. Granted I imagine they have other equipment most times but I'm not certain.
@@heidiiiiiiii Yes, typically you should switch every 2 minutes but it depends on if you have help available or not
She actually did the compressions too quickly, but it must've been a result of the adrenaline. Really impressive, though!
@@doggotmytongue Yeah I noticed that as well. Then you see the paramedic going at the proper rate. However her actions definitely kept the blood pumping.
Wow…. This is what it’s all about!! This just goes to show although you clock out you’re never really off duty.
I applaud this nurse for doing what needed to be done and saving this man’s life. They’ll have a bond for the rest of their lives.❤️✝️🙏🏾
Wow, that’s a real nurse. God bless her, glad the man recovered.
I’m a nursing student .. I am balling my eyes out right now! I’m so glad I chose this profession.
I agree with you. I had 5 open heart surgeries total in my life was born with DiGeorge Syndrome I also do have my own blood pressure cuff and stethoscope just to prepare if I ever need another surgery.
Balling your eyes out? Jeez
@@kenbaker-ps6ej 🙄
I was a lifeguard for 5 years. I hope they show more videos of REAL CPR compressions like this. The movies don't do it justice. If their rib cage is still in tact then you aren't doing it right. It can be pretty nasty. Thankfully this women was there to help 👍
In tact in tact in tact in tact in tact in tact in tact in tact in tact in tact tic tack
Right!
Gotta crack a few ribs to make a heart beat!
@Hury Springer lol who cares stop worrying about spelling and your life will be a lot happier
Her compression rate is too fast. That’s faster than 120 compressions a minute. If you watch the paramedic he has a proper compression rate.
I was a nurse and I tried but lost people in my arms. I think that is the hardest thing. I couldn't fight death. When its their time. But you try everything. She done great.
It wasnt that you failed, we all have our time to go and nothing anyone can do will stop that.
At least you will know that you gave them every possible chance at survival.
I’ve been in exactly the same situation and know exactly how she feels. The emotions of that day will be with you for years. She did a good job! Everyone should learn CPR because you never know when you need it or who will be in need of it. What if it’s someone you love? Don’t just stand there helpless, be the hero.
Things like this pushed me to get into general medicine. I got accepted and this year is my first one. I have a long way to go, but hopefully, one day, I will too save people's life.
Proud of her. She is a hero!
@@goodnightmunchie shut up
@@goodnightmunchie Come on man. I'm a black male Nurse. I know racism is real, but here you're reaching a bit.
She's not a hero 🙄
@@penelopephelange 👈🤡

I hope the nurse gets more than just media recognition. She deserves a medal of honor and/or heroism.
Had she not been there to preform CPR, until the paramedics arrived, that man would've died.
Overall, that was a VERY happy ending.
She deserves a check
@@Meds1000MD That, as well. 🙂
She is a real life hero
I am a nurse and I would work beside this hero anytime!!! I thank God for her!
To all of you nurses out there.
You deserve more respect than you have.
Thank you.
thank you for this ❤️
@@helloimlo absolutely 💙
God bless RN and these Medical staff! 🙏🏻👋🏼❤️👍🏻🇺🇲🌹
Taking a course to learn CPR could literally save someones life just like this.
@Hury Springer Huh??
@@omegasage777 i think they meant to say like theyre not wishing for someone to almost die
We need more people like her in this world. What a sweet soul. 😇😇🙏🏻🙏🏻
We should be more like her
We don't need more people like her. We need to be like her.
Thank you that this woman was there to save his life. He’s now able to still play ball and be with those he loves.
This video gave me chills! This lady is awesome! Now a days, you just see videos of people recording everything and the bystander effect. This lady put everything she had to save this man like it was her own father. I'm so happy that the guy she saved got to meet her and thank her at the end! 🙏🏻❤️❤️
She's an amazing woman, thank you for your service in the medical field.
Literally crying my eyes out watching this. What a wonderful human. An angel and a hero.
Why were u crying.😒😒
Shes a hero and she’s AMAZING!
@@overwhelmingevidence4836 who hurt you?!
@@overwhelmingevidence4836 Okay kid
@@overwhelmingevidence4836no one asked you
Wow.. didn't think twice she went and did what she needed to do much respects to that lady.
She was put in the right place at the right time to save his life. God bless nurses ❤
Ive never seen a more beautiful example of cpr being performed. She did that with her whole spirit. I can't imagine how helpless she felt in that moment without her team behind her. She had nothing but her two bare hands and the earth beneath them and she did it. He lived.
As a nurse, i’m delighted to see this act of pure goodness and bravery ❤️
I also have a nursing degree. Can you PLEASE tell me how she was “brave”? Were there snipers shooting at her that I didn’t see? Not brave. “Brave: verb. ready to face and endure danger or pain.” Schmuck.
This goes to prove how every little second and minute counts when it comes to saving a person's life with CPR, good job for the nurse who saved this man's life 🙏
Its so vital to keep doing compressions even when you think theyve faded, or awaiting medical equipment; maintaining oxygen and blood flow to the major organs is life saving!!
CPR should be taught in all public schools. You don't have to be in the medical field to save a life.
I just want to say thank you to this nurse for saving this man's life. Nurses should be praised every day for the service they provide and especially stepping up to the plate during COVID - TY 🌹❤️🌹❤️!!!
A nurse with a gigantic HEART 💜💜 💜 We need so many more Angels like her .
You need to make yourself into that kind of angel. It's something to do and it's fun.
What a beautiful woman, both inside and out. How incredible that she was there to save his life. Wishing both families the best!
She was there for a reason, God Bless!
Everyone should learn CPR. Most of the time it doesn’t work because it’s not started fast enough or done properly. This is amazing, congratulations to that nurse.
You’re amazing, Nurse Danya! Thank you for sharing your kind heart and your unwavering dedication to helping others. You’re a blessing to this world.
the only time when nurses doesn’t give a icepack
You win
Anyone who went to
Public school can appreciate this comment. 😆 glad the gentleman is ok and kudos to the amazing nurse.

@@KennyMcCormick5467 It’s funny how they just assume that you enjoy seeing people suffer because you made a simple joke.
So proud of her as a fellow nurse. Good quality CPR can save lives! Hard and fast compressions and allow chest to fully recoil in between compressions!
One of the rare feel good stories on the news.
She is a nurse with all her heart…God bless this lady ❤️
I'm in tears right now. God I love that amazing Woman. Literally an Angel.
What an amazing woman! She takes her oath seriously! She saves a life when she has the ability to do so no matter what That's how we should all be! She just went to work.
God Bless you both!! Beautiful story. Everyone hopes to have a Guardian Angel like this!!!
Take a good look people.
THIS is what a HERO looks like...
So happy to see he made it and so proud of the wonderful lady who jumped in and saved him. I love nurses!!! I married to one of the best!
This nurse is a very amazing person for saving this person's life. She definitely deserves infinite credit. Awesome nurse.
I’m CPR trained, I always question myself if that moment will ever happen to me , to help someone in need , God bless both ❤️💙💙
The best reward of any health care worker is the hearth felt thanks of the patient. That's the ultimate reward anyone of us could have.
As a nurse this is my biggest fear 😨💜
@@goodnightmunchie YOU CAN'T EVEN SPELL LOL
As a former daycare worker, this is my biggest fear! Like, yes, I have the training, but do I *really* know what I'm doing?
@@goodnightmunchie spelling check
@@goodnightmunchie goodnight
I agree, as a nurse, you know you have the training but you hope it kicks in and that you have what it takes to do it ALONE. Everyone needs to learn CPR!!!
Finally a heartfelt story on the internet, man. Thank you for sharing this. Typically nothing but negativity.
It’s a shame that these Heroes have to fight for fair wages. Nurses, Teachers, Cops and Firefighters ❤
You can see how physically demanding being a nurse is, just seeing the act of cpr. I have heard some people can have broken ribs after- not sure if that’s true or common for those having cpr done on them. Thank god for nurses!
It is true. Broken ribs almost always happen after CPR
As a medical doctor who trained for three years in internal medicine and did more CPRs than I can remember, I can confirm that this is true. You actually know when you've broken a rib because there's a "give" when it happens.
It’s common, even if you feel like you’ve broken their ribs, DON’T STOP the compressions or else you may have forfeited their life. Saving their life is more important than being scared of hurting them.
One story I heard from an EMT is that someone’s granddaughter stopped chest compressions on their grandmother because she heard a weird cracking noise - her grandma passed because of this.
@@Vendemiair It's the sound I always remember.
That’s what being a honorable citizen is all about. The preservation of human life is the most important act in life!..🙏
This nurse is a true hero.
Thank God that nurse was there that man is lucky to be alive
IMAGINE knowing you saved someone's life!!🙏❤️
You can too. Just take a course.
She's soooooo awesome!! A total woman of action with no hesitation! What an incredible story about an incredible human being!!! 🌠💖
Talk about being in the right place at the right time! What his doctor said is true: had it not happened there when it did, he likely would not have survived. The likelihood of surviving a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital is extremely low. As an RN, seeing a story like this makes me proud to be in our profession! ♥️
This is why nurses deserve everything they’re asking for ❤
Such a beautiful and heartwarming story! I got chills watching this. It was wonderful to see Darren alive and well. He was at the right place when he had his heart attack. I’m touched by the emotion that Dana has later recalling the story. Thank you Dana and to the officer that helped revive Darren. A beautiful story.
She restored my faith in humanity! God Bless!
What a blessing Nurse Danya is!!🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 So happy his life was saved. What a beautiful story❤
Thanks to ALL OF OUR NURSES WORLDWIDE for your service and special thanks to Nurse Danya...❤🧡💛
My dad heart stopped at home and my step mom performed CPR till the ambulance arrived. Ended up saving his life ❤️ he ended up having triple bypass surgery and was back to work being a police officer a couple months later. Everybody should know how to perform CPR just in case
Doctor Mike would be proud of this. Thank god for this nurse at the stands ans immediately knew something was wrong. Truly an angel😇
Thank you to our nurses. You never get the compensation you deserve.
She deserves to be recognized
Makes me almost teary eyed as well since a similar accident happened to my dad. I'll never forget.
Did he survive?
@@ananse77 Yeah man, he's good.
Happy to hear that man is doing well. Thank you to all nurses and doctors and any medical staff for all you do to help in situations like that especially at games or any outdoor events. There’s still some good in this world.

This is what we need. People being good to one another. Thank goodness for this beautiful person

What an amazing story! Honestly that guy looks 67 not 57. Hopefully he takes care of himself after this.
True
He looks like he lost weight which is good.
He has a personal guardian angel looking over him! This is so beautiful ❤
You go girl!! The world needs examples of service and humility.
CPR is a very useful tool. It's very physically demanding and emotionally draining and taxing.. I am alive because I went in for what was described as a routine surgery at my local hospital. It was a cardiac ablation. My Dr has done thousands of these. During my procedure I went into cardiac arrest. I'm a rare case. My Dr has never heard of this happening during a procedure. I am extremely blessed to be here typing this. This happened only on September 8 2022. Today. It is September 23. Bless this nurse for being in the right place at the right time.
Angel's come from all over right place at the right time. Bless you.
THANK GOD FOR ALL MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS. GREAT JOB DONE BY THIS NURSE.🙏🏽🌹💙
She’s an every day hero!! 💚💚 As she would say just a part of her job.
It gave me goosebumps when she said, *"I didn't have my doctors. I didn't have my oxygen..."* Ms. Hero, you had knowledge, common sense, and most of all -- humanity. Bless you ❤
Why do I have tears? 🥹 RN here from PH 🇵🇭. I just love my job and I'm just so privileged to be a nurse professional taking care of vulnerable people. God bless you, Maam Nurse. 🫡
Way to go y'all!!!! When I had my heart attack I had ppl like that right there in seconds!!!
