Paramedic's Bravery Amid Crash: Commissioner's Medal

0:00On this March 8th in Sydney, here's what is making headlines. A paramedic from New South Wales South Coast, Harriet Moore, earned one of the highest honors in her field for her bravery during a deadly ambulance. Crash. In May 2023, her vehicle smashed head-on into another car at high speed, killing the other driver. Despite breaking her foot and bruising her ribs, the 37-year-old kept working to help her partner in two patients. The ambulance was rushing a pediatric patient and their carer from the Ruma to Maruya Hospital when the other car failed to take a bend and hit them at. Around 100 kilometers per hour, airbags deployed, and everyone inside ended up thrown around. But more quickly assessed the chaos and prioritized care. She treated her colleague, got the child and carer out safely, then checked the other driver who was in cardiac arrest with severe bleeding. Her biggest challenge was switching from victim to professional, radioing for help to bring in the right resources before she could even rest.

1:01Colleagues who responded, including one from her station just 10 minutes away, praised her calm focus amid the distress. Her wife was on one of the arriving crews, adding emotional strain, but the team handled first aid for all involved smoothly.
