Two Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers helped save the life of six-day-old baby after he stopped breathing.
While on patrol in the early hours of the morning PC Kieran Sweeney and PC Claire Slater had stopped at a set of traffic lights, when they were approached by two distressed parents.
The couple had been waiting for an ambulance for their newborn baby Isaac, who had started choking.
Isaac’s father performed CPR and managed to stabilise the baby.
While PC Sweeney drove them to the hospital on a blue light run, PC Slater continued to provide first aid support to baby Isaac.
The officers alerted the hospital, where staff were there to meet them on arrival and administer further medical care.
Superintendent Rick Jackson of GMP’s Bolton borough said: “I have no doubt that the swift action of the two officers played a major role in saving the life of the newborn baby that day.
“Without their quick response this story could have had a very different ending so they should be immensely proud of themselves.
“I am also delighted that Isaac is now recovering safe and well. “
Isaac’s parents, Karin and Shane said: “We are so grateful that the officers were there and we cannot thank them enough for what they did. We cannot imagine what could of happened if they had not of taken us to the hospital so fast.”

Very cool! (My only concern is that needing to ask for the access code means some people may not be able to use the defibrillator?)

Hi Krista -
Here is the running total from my podiatrists, Tipton & Unroe - says the total charges for the fractured foot were $1,760.00.
IRS returns forthcoming (waiting to receive them from the IRS).
Please let me know if there's anything else you might need -
Best Regards,
Vicky

Krista Ray was an attorney licensed to practice law in Ohio and Kentucky - she was attempting to recoup my medical fees incurred from the fall at the Memorial Golf Tournament in Dublin, Ohio.
The total cost of that fall? Ask Kentucky. And The US Government. And SHPS Carewise Health, my *former* employer.
----------
I placed the shirt that we purchased at the Memorial Golf Tournament on eBay - this was the auction (below). I began getting death threats.
This is a NWOT, never been worn Jack Nicklaus "The Memorial Tournament" commemorative golf shirt which was purchased at the PGA Tour 2011 Memorial Tournament gift shop at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin Ohio as a gift from my significant other who of course, is a golfer. Feel free to ask any questions.
I never liked golf - frankly if you need to wear a collared shirt to play it, it is not a sport.
As we sashayed down the cart path at Muirfield Woods at Jack Nicklaus's Memorial Golf Tournament on June 4, 2011, next to the 10th hole fairway to head home we decided to step off the cart path to grab a quick lemonade. I can tell you Muirfied Woods is no Augusta. There were unkempt small ditches eroded by the rainfall and uncut grass - and one step on the wrong spot of that badly groomed path sent me tumbling to the ground. First aid tried to quickly pull me up and move me off the grounds to steer me home but I could not walk. It appears as though my right foot was broken (see pic) and my left foot was sprained, not to mention lacerations on my legs. First aid did, however, offer a band-aid. Here is a video of the area taken a year later where you can see the shoddy grooming now since the grass has eroded away: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jkPg2xIVp8" rel="nofollow">www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jkPg2xIVp8
This tournament is sponsored by Nationwide Insurance (aka "on your side"), yet we could not even get the first aid crew to give me a ride back to the bus staging area (well over a mile away) in order to take us back to our car at the Zoo where we were required to park. That's a long walk with one foot broken and the other sprained. We asked numerous course officials there including CBS, the Dublin police guard as well as a few of the concession workers and everyone refused - even with blood gushing from the lacerations. So with one broken foot, one sprained ankle and blood oozing down my legs I hobbled well over a mile back to where I could catch the bus. I was grateful to have had my folding chair to use as a cane. My SO was shattered because his moment to shine in his "sport" became an agonizing trek with him feeling helpless and guilty. We did submit a claim to Nationwide to cover the medical costs but they denied it.
The following day when returning home I did see a foot specialist and sure enough the right foot was broken and the left one sprained. He did give me a pretty pink cast to match my "Oh Cabana Boy" nail polish. I did contact Muirfield after the tournament to inform them of the treatment I received (or non-treatment) and they refused to return the calls. The young lady there put me into a Chris Stiffler's voice mail - I left numerous messages for him and he refused to return my calls as well. I even had an attorney contact them who in turn put us in touch with Nationwide - all I'd hoped for was at least some help with the medical bills - and they refused. Or at least to alert them of the shoddy, negligent treatment of a visitor to their "world class" facility. If this is the result of being number one in golf and the epitome of course designs, you "gentlemen" are so far off the mark of excellence from what you think you are and what you truly are. I'd rather take my chances at a rodeo or a Nascar race where at least men are men unlike you pansied ball washers in polo shirts and footies.
As a result of the broken foot & sprained ankle I wound up losing my job as well, but most of all I lost any and all respect for the "great" game of golf, the illusion of it being a "gentleman's game", and most of all, the illusion of the "Golden Bear" Jack Nicklaus who purports to be the greatest golfer of all time, who I grew up with - as long as there's a camera in front of him he's the greatest - but let a 61 year old Grandmother fall and ask for help but instead was forced to walk over a mile with no help from the "greatest of the greatest" in his shining hour just goes to show that class isn't in money or fame and it surely isn't in golf.
Mr. Nicklaus you are the poster child for the elite 1% - where profits take precedence over others' well being - and I am grateful not to be a part of it. You may give to charities and publicize your do-good deeds but you can't even stand by your own game on your own turf.
If anyone would like a lighter to go with the shirt just ask - I'll ship the shirt free provided you set the shirt on fire and video it on YouTube for me.
So here's the shirt to go with a memorable day.
Men's Medium, "CAT" (golden) yellow, Memorial Tournament logo, Jack Nicklaus signature embroidered on the left sleeve. 100% polyester made in China.
Memo to Jack: Feel free to use the "Buy It Now" option.

Can I get some appreciation for my son, who - rather than going out tonight for his 23rd birthday - is volunteering with @stjohn_ambulance . He may not be out partying, but that doesn't mean I'll let the day go by without cake of some description, so I made him these St John Ambulance theme cupcakes to take with him.
Happy birthdy to my beautiful boy!!
