Speaker 1: four point three podcasts, playlist and listen live on the
Speaker 1: Free iHeart app Got anything good? Hey, this is the
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell show podcast. I have got the most incredible
Speaker 1: story of I would I describe this and everyday ossy
Speaker 1: hero that I had to drag out this guy Saturday,
Speaker 1: eight night. So I'm in an uber and I'm going
Speaker 1: to this pub to dinner, right, And as we're going
Speaker 1: into a pub car park, I said to him I'll
Speaker 1: jump out here that otherwise it's going to be a
Speaker 1: nightmare for you getting out. And he goes, Oh, don't worry.
Speaker 1: Anyone's late sixties. Let's call him m. He goes, O,
Speaker 1: I don't worry. I want. I want, due to an
Speaker 1: offoreseen circumstances, to take control of a greyhound bus and
Speaker 1: I did a thirteen point turn in an emergency and
Speaker 1: I go, oh, right, are you a bus driver? He
Speaker 1: goes no, And then I go, oh, what happened? He goes,
Speaker 1: It's quite a story, and don't you need to get
Speaker 1: out now? And no, no, no, tell me what happened. So
Speaker 1: he's on a greyhound bus right going from Adelaide to Melbourne.
Speaker 1: Because this guy M is First Aid trained level three,
Speaker 1: so he's a high level first AIDA. That's not his
Speaker 1: job he works. He used to work for the government
Speaker 1: okay in the family law division, but anyway, he's a
Speaker 1: first AIDA. The driver he can see isn't very well.
Speaker 1: So EM gets up and says, hey, you okay, what's
Speaker 1: going on? The driver starts to tell him and EM says,
Speaker 1: I think you're having a heart attack, and so he
Speaker 1: says pull over. So I said, now I'm fine, I'm
Speaker 1: just feeling it, but he goes, no, I think THEO
Speaker 1: says you need to put over right now. Pulls over
Speaker 1: and then things get a lot worse. He is having
Speaker 1: a heart attack. So because he's first day trained, he
Speaker 1: managed to sort of, you know, start to know what
Speaker 1: to do. They're in triple zero and they go where
Speaker 1: are they'd given location? It goes going to take us
Speaker 1: a little while to get there. M decides that he
Speaker 1: will drive the greyhound towards the hospital. Right he's got
Speaker 1: a bus license that he's never used just for hits
Speaker 1: and giggles. He thought he'd take one passes might never
Speaker 1: have to use that one. Then there's a big difference
Speaker 1: between a bus and a greyhound coach, so he had
Speaker 1: to Suddenly, he's doing the right thing. He's stepping up
Speaker 1: as an everyday leader in a desperate situation. He then
Speaker 1: realized these are really big I don't know how to
Speaker 1: They've got to turn it to go towards the hospital.
Speaker 1: He had to do a thirteen point turn driving this
Speaker 1: greyhound coach towards the hospital and the ambulance crew were
Speaker 1: talking on the phone to somebody else to say if
Speaker 1: we can meet you halfway and gave them the location. Wow,
Speaker 1: so they do. He hands them over to the ambos.
Speaker 1: They saved this guy's life really thanks to M's quick decisions.
Speaker 1: The fact that he was someone who had, you know,
Speaker 1: basic first aid isn't an incredible story. I'd have drawn
Speaker 1: out this guy, am, I said, that is incredible story.
Speaker 1: I said to what happened? And he goes, why I
Speaker 1: got a letter of a commendation from the Greyhound bus company.
Speaker 1: It's going to be from the mirror or something. Minister
Speaker 1: really made me think how many people would be alive
Speaker 1: if we knew basic first aid. I almost think it
Speaker 1: should be part of like even taking any driver's test
Speaker 1: or something. Like that where it really made. We've said
Speaker 1: this before, but now I haven't listened to his story,
Speaker 1: and that I wouldn't know what to do in a
Speaker 1: desperate situation which could happen any moment in our lives.
Speaker 1: But I'd like to. I think that we as a
Speaker 1: team should commit in the next couple of weeks to
Speaker 1: learning basic first aid because actually, even here now do
Speaker 1: we even know where the DEFIP thing is? Now? Yes,
Speaker 1: I think it is near the toilet, but I don't
Speaker 1: know for sure. We don't know how to use it. No, no,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have the first clear none of them. No,
Speaker 1: we need to have but one incredible story. The Christian
