The boy went underwater at Windmill Pointe Park Pool and was not breathing when he was carried from the pool. This is when Dr. Nosek stepped in.
The boy was put on a picnic table as several good Samaritans tried to open his airway. With the help of a combat medic, pediatric cardiologist and lifeguard, Dr. Nosek was able to get boy breathing again.
He was taken to St. John Hospital where his condition was stabilized.
“I was just glad that I was there at the right time,” Dr. Nosek said.
Dr. Nosek was at the pool during her maternity leave after having a baby 10 weeks earlier.
