Ellsworth ‘Sonny’ Pryor, a Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center police officer, recently saved the life of a woman who went into cardiac arrest at the Richmond healthcare facility, according to an article on the Campus Safety website.
Pryor has decades of experience as a certified emergency medical technician and former advanced life support provider.
While Pryor and others helped the patient, other security personnel kept pedestrians out of the area to give them space to work.
Pryor administered two shocks from the AED, and on the third one, the woman had a viable cardiac rhythm.
