0:00:21.485 --> 0:00:29.965
<v Speaker 1>Christian O'Connell show podcast. I have got the most incredible

0:00:30.005 --> 0:00:34.365
<v Speaker 1>story of I would I describe this and everyday ossy

0:00:34.485 --> 0:00:37.284
<v Speaker 1>hero that I had to drag out this guy Saturday,

0:00:37.285 --> 0:00:39.285
<v Speaker 1>eight night. So I'm in an uber and I'm going

0:00:39.325 --> 0:00:42.205
<v Speaker 1>to this pub to dinner, right, And as we're going

0:00:42.245 --> 0:00:43.764
<v Speaker 1>into a pub car park, I said to him I'll

0:00:43.805 --> 0:00:46.245
<v Speaker 1>jump out here that otherwise it's going to be a

0:00:46.324 --> 0:00:48.125
<v Speaker 1>nightmare for you getting out. And he goes, Oh, don't worry.

0:00:48.125 --> 0:00:52.765
<v Speaker 1>Anyone's late sixties. Let's call him m. He goes, O,

0:00:52.765 --> 0:00:54.965
<v Speaker 1>I don't worry. I want. I want, due to an

0:00:54.965 --> 0:00:58.565
<v Speaker 1>offoreseen circumstances, to take control of a greyhound bus and

0:00:58.605 --> 0:01:02.365
<v Speaker 1>I did a thirteen point turn in an emergency and

0:01:02.445 --> 0:01:04.285
<v Speaker 1>I go, oh, right, are you a bus driver? He

0:01:04.325 --> 0:01:08.244
<v Speaker 1>goes no, And then I go, oh, what happened? He goes,

0:01:08.565 --> 0:01:11.005
<v Speaker 1>It's quite a story, and don't you need to get

0:01:11.005 --> 0:01:13.445
<v Speaker 1>out now? And no, no, no, tell me what happened. So

0:01:13.485 --> 0:01:17.765
<v Speaker 1>he's on a greyhound bus right going from Adelaide to Melbourne.

0:01:18.525 --> 0:01:22.125
<v Speaker 1>Because this guy M is First Aid trained level three,

0:01:22.205 --> 0:01:24.005
<v Speaker 1>so he's a high level first AIDA. That's not his

0:01:24.085 --> 0:01:26.085
<v Speaker 1>job he works. He used to work for the government

0:01:26.085 --> 0:01:28.685
<v Speaker 1>okay in the family law division, but anyway, he's a

0:01:28.725 --> 0:01:32.165
<v Speaker 1>first AIDA. The driver he can see isn't very well.

0:01:32.325 --> 0:01:35.525
<v Speaker 1>So EM gets up and says, hey, you okay, what's

0:01:35.565 --> 0:01:37.725
<v Speaker 1>going on? The driver starts to tell him and EM says,

0:01:37.725 --> 0:01:40.245
<v Speaker 1>I think you're having a heart attack, and so he

0:01:40.285 --> 0:01:42.645
<v Speaker 1>says pull over. So I said, now I'm fine, I'm

0:01:42.645 --> 0:01:44.165
<v Speaker 1>just feeling it, but he goes, no, I think THEO

0:01:44.245 --> 0:01:46.085
<v Speaker 1>says you need to put over right now. Pulls over

0:01:46.125 --> 0:01:47.925
<v Speaker 1>and then things get a lot worse. He is having

0:01:47.925 --> 0:01:51.205
<v Speaker 1>a heart attack. So because he's first day trained, he

0:01:51.245 --> 0:01:52.965
<v Speaker 1>managed to sort of, you know, start to know what

0:01:53.085 --> 0:01:55.325
<v Speaker 1>to do. They're in triple zero and they go where

0:01:55.365 --> 0:01:57.125
<v Speaker 1>are they'd given location? It goes going to take us

0:01:57.125 --> 0:02:01.485
<v Speaker 1>a little while to get there. M decides that he

0:02:01.525 --> 0:02:06.605
<v Speaker 1>will drive the greyhound towards the hospital. Right he's got

0:02:06.645 --> 0:02:09.565
<v Speaker 1>a bus license that he's never used just for hits

0:02:09.565 --> 0:02:12.125
<v Speaker 1>and giggles. He thought he'd take one passes might never

0:02:12.165 --> 0:02:13.845
<v Speaker 1>have to use that one. Then there's a big difference

0:02:13.845 --> 0:02:17.365
<v Speaker 1>between a bus and a greyhound coach, so he had

0:02:17.405 --> 0:02:20.605
<v Speaker 1>to Suddenly, he's doing the right thing. He's stepping up

0:02:20.605 --> 0:02:24.045
<v Speaker 1>as an everyday leader in a desperate situation. He then

0:02:24.205 --> 0:02:26.205
<v Speaker 1>realized these are really big I don't know how to

0:02:26.525 --> 0:02:28.645
<v Speaker 1>They've got to turn it to go towards the hospital.

0:02:28.725 --> 0:02:32.165
<v Speaker 1>He had to do a thirteen point turn driving this

0:02:32.285 --> 0:02:37.165
<v Speaker 1>greyhound coach towards the hospital and the ambulance crew were

0:02:37.165 --> 0:02:40.125
<v Speaker 1>talking on the phone to somebody else to say if

0:02:40.285 --> 0:02:43.484
<v Speaker 1>we can meet you halfway and gave them the location. Wow,

0:02:43.685 --> 0:02:45.445
<v Speaker 1>so they do. He hands them over to the ambos.

0:02:45.485 --> 0:02:48.525
<v Speaker 1>They saved this guy's life really thanks to M's quick decisions.

0:02:48.525 --> 0:02:50.805
<v Speaker 1>The fact that he was someone who had, you know,

0:02:50.885 --> 0:02:55.085
<v Speaker 1>basic first aid isn't an incredible story. I'd have drawn

0:02:55.165 --> 0:02:57.645
<v Speaker 1>out this guy, am, I said, that is incredible story.

0:02:57.685 --> 0:02:59.685
<v Speaker 1>I said to what happened? And he goes, why I

0:02:59.685 --> 0:03:04.005
<v Speaker 1>got a letter of a commendation from the Greyhound bus company.

0:03:04.405 --> 0:03:07.005
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be from the mirror or something. Minister

0:03:08.285 --> 0:03:10.805
<v Speaker 1>really made me think how many people would be alive

0:03:10.885 --> 0:03:13.565
<v Speaker 1>if we knew basic first aid. I almost think it

0:03:13.605 --> 0:03:15.885
<v Speaker 1>should be part of like even taking any driver's test

0:03:16.005 --> 0:03:18.405
<v Speaker 1>or something. Like that where it really made. We've said

0:03:18.405 --> 0:03:20.485
<v Speaker 1>this before, but now I haven't listened to his story,

0:03:20.485 --> 0:03:23.925
<v Speaker 1>and that I wouldn't know what to do in a

0:03:23.965 --> 0:03:26.405
<v Speaker 1>desperate situation which could happen any moment in our lives.

0:03:26.685 --> 0:03:28.445
<v Speaker 1>But I'd like to. I think that we as a

0:03:28.485 --> 0:03:31.005
<v Speaker 1>team should commit in the next couple of weeks to

0:03:31.125 --> 0:03:35.285
<v Speaker 1>learning basic first aid because actually, even here now do

0:03:35.365 --> 0:03:38.005
<v Speaker 1>we even know where the DEFIP thing is? Now? Yes,

0:03:38.365 --> 0:03:40.845
<v Speaker 1>I think it is near the toilet, but I don't

0:03:40.885 --> 0:03:44.045
<v Speaker 1>know for sure. We don't know how to use it. No, no,

0:03:44.885 --> 0:03:47.725
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have the first clear none of them. No,

0:03:47.845 --> 0:03:51.725
<v Speaker 1>we need to have but one incredible story. The Christian
