5
00:00:30,005 --> 00:00:34,365
Speaker 1: story of I would I describe this and everyday ossy

6
00:00:34,485 --> 00:00:37,284
Speaker 1: hero that I had to drag out this guy Saturday,

7
00:00:37,285 --> 00:00:39,285
Speaker 1: eight night. So I'm in an uber and I'm going

8
00:00:39,325 --> 00:00:42,205
Speaker 1: to this pub to dinner, right, And as we're going

9
00:00:42,245 --> 00:00:43,764
Speaker 1: into a pub car park, I said to him I'll

10
00:00:43,805 --> 00:00:46,245
Speaker 1: jump out here that otherwise it's going to be a

11
00:00:46,324 --> 00:00:48,125
Speaker 1: nightmare for you getting out. And he goes, Oh, don't worry.

12
00:00:48,125 --> 00:00:52,765
Speaker 1: Anyone's late sixties. Let's call him m. He goes, O,

13
00:00:52,765 --> 00:00:54,965
Speaker 1: I don't worry. I want. I want, due to an

14
00:00:54,965 --> 00:00:58,565
Speaker 1: offoreseen circumstances, to take control of a greyhound bus and

15
00:00:58,605 --> 00:01:02,365
Speaker 1: I did a thirteen point turn in an emergency and

16
00:01:02,445 --> 00:01:04,285
Speaker 1: I go, oh, right, are you a bus driver? He

17
00:01:04,325 --> 00:01:08,244
Speaker 1: goes no, And then I go, oh, what happened? He goes,

18
00:01:08,565 --> 00:01:11,005
Speaker 1: It's quite a story, and don't you need to get

19
00:01:11,005 --> 00:01:13,445
Speaker 1: out now? And no, no, no, tell me what happened. So

20
00:01:13,485 --> 00:01:17,765
Speaker 1: he's on a greyhound bus right going from Adelaide to Melbourne.

21
00:01:18,525 --> 00:01:22,125
Speaker 1: Because this guy M is First Aid trained level three,

22
00:01:22,205 --> 00:01:24,005
Speaker 1: so he's a high level first AIDA. That's not his

23
00:01:24,085 --> 00:01:26,085
Speaker 1: job he works. He used to work for the government

24
00:01:26,085 --> 00:01:28,685
Speaker 1: okay in the family law division, but anyway, he's a

25
00:01:28,725 --> 00:01:32,165
Speaker 1: first AIDA. The driver he can see isn't very well.

26
00:01:32,325 --> 00:01:35,525
Speaker 1: So EM gets up and says, hey, you okay, what's

27
00:01:35,565 --> 00:01:37,725
Speaker 1: going on? The driver starts to tell him and EM says,

28
00:01:37,725 --> 00:01:40,245
Speaker 1: I think you're having a heart attack, and so he

29
00:01:40,285 --> 00:01:42,645
Speaker 1: says pull over. So I said, now I'm fine, I'm

30
00:01:42,645 --> 00:01:44,165
Speaker 1: just feeling it, but he goes, no, I think THEO

31
00:01:44,245 --> 00:01:46,085
Speaker 1: says you need to put over right now. Pulls over

32
00:01:46,125 --> 00:01:47,925
Speaker 1: and then things get a lot worse. He is having

33
00:01:47,925 --> 00:01:51,205
Speaker 1: a heart attack. So because he's first day trained, he

34
00:01:51,245 --> 00:01:52,965
Speaker 1: managed to sort of, you know, start to know what

35
00:01:53,085 --> 00:01:55,325
Speaker 1: to do. They're in triple zero and they go where

36
00:01:55,365 --> 00:01:57,125
Speaker 1: are they'd given location? It goes going to take us

37
00:01:57,125 --> 00:02:01,485
Speaker 1: a little while to get there. M decides that he

38
00:02:01,525 --> 00:02:06,605
Speaker 1: will drive the greyhound towards the hospital. Right he's got

39
00:02:06,645 --> 00:02:09,565
Speaker 1: a bus license that he's never used just for hits

40
00:02:09,565 --> 00:02:12,125
Speaker 1: and giggles. He thought he'd take one passes might never

41
00:02:12,165 --> 00:02:13,845
Speaker 1: have to use that one. Then there's a big difference

42
00:02:13,845 --> 00:02:17,365
Speaker 1: between a bus and a greyhound coach, so he had

43
00:02:17,405 --> 00:02:20,605
Speaker 1: to Suddenly, he's doing the right thing. He's stepping up

44
00:02:20,605 --> 00:02:24,045
Speaker 1: as an everyday leader in a desperate situation. He then

45
00:02:24,205 --> 00:02:26,205
Speaker 1: realized these are really big I don't know how to

46
00:02:26,525 --> 00:02:28,645
Speaker 1: They've got to turn it to go towards the hospital.

47
00:02:28,725 --> 00:02:32,165
Speaker 1: He had to do a thirteen point turn driving this

48
00:02:32,285 --> 00:02:37,165
Speaker 1: greyhound coach towards the hospital and the ambulance crew were

49
00:02:37,165 --> 00:02:40,125
Speaker 1: talking on the phone to somebody else to say if

50
00:02:40,285 --> 00:02:43,484
Speaker 1: we can meet you halfway and gave them the location. Wow,

51
00:02:43,685 --> 00:02:45,445
Speaker 1: so they do. He hands them over to the ambos.

52
00:02:45,485 --> 00:02:48,525
Speaker 1: They saved this guy's life really thanks to M's quick decisions.

53
00:02:48,525 --> 00:02:50,805
Speaker 1: The fact that he was someone who had, you know,

54
00:02:50,885 --> 00:02:55,085
Speaker 1: basic first aid isn't an incredible story. I'd have drawn

55
00:02:55,165 --> 00:02:57,645
Speaker 1: out this guy, am, I said, that is incredible story.

56
00:02:57,685 --> 00:02:59,685
Speaker 1: I said to what happened? And he goes, why I

57
00:02:59,685 --> 00:03:04,005
Speaker 1: got a letter of a commendation from the Greyhound bus company.

58
00:03:04,405 --> 00:03:07,005
Speaker 1: It's going to be from the mirror or something. Minister

59
00:03:08,285 --> 00:03:10,805
Speaker 1: really made me think how many people would be alive

60
00:03:10,885 --> 00:03:13,565
Speaker 1: if we knew basic first aid. I almost think it

61
00:03:13,605 --> 00:03:15,885
Speaker 1: should be part of like even taking any driver's test

62
00:03:16,005 --> 00:03:18,405
Speaker 1: or something. Like that where it really made. We've said

63
00:03:18,405 --> 00:03:20,485
Speaker 1: this before, but now I haven't listened to his story,

64
00:03:20,485 --> 00:03:23,925
Speaker 1: and that I wouldn't know what to do in a

65
00:03:23,965 --> 00:03:26,405
Speaker 1: desperate situation which could happen any moment in our lives.

66
00:03:26,685 --> 00:03:28,445
Speaker 1: But I'd like to. I think that we as a

67
00:03:28,485 --> 00:03:31,005
Speaker 1: team should commit in the next couple of weeks to

68
00:03:31,125 --> 00:03:35,285
Speaker 1: learning basic first aid because actually, even here now do

69
00:03:35,365 --> 00:03:38,005
Speaker 1: we even know where the DEFIP thing is? Now? Yes,

70
00:03:38,365 --> 00:03:40,845
Speaker 1: I think it is near the toilet, but I don't

71
00:03:40,885 --> 00:03:44,045
Speaker 1: know for sure. We don't know how to use it. No, no,

72
00:03:44,885 --> 00:03:47,725
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have the first clear none of them. No,

73
00:03:47,845 --> 00:03:51,725
Speaker 1: we need to have but one incredible story. The Christian
