WENDY’S EMPLOYEE SAVES MAN’S LIFE IN LEXINGTON PARKING LOT! FROM FAST FOOD TO FAST ACTION
SUDOKU “I didn’t panic visibly, but in the back of my mind, I was like, what do I do?” she said. “I kind of short-circuited a little bit before I was like, ‘Girl, you know how to do CPR. Get over here and do these chest compressions!’” When most of us pull up to a Wendy’s, we’re likely looking for a quick bite or a savory treat. But at one Wendy’s on Richmond Road in Lexington, Kentucky, a man pulled up for life-saving care. After parking his car, the man quickly stepped out to make his way inside when he collapsed and fell unconscious in the parking lot. Inside that same Wendy’s, 22-year-old Alexandria Cowheard was going about her shift as usual until a coworker burst in from the parking lot, saying that a man was unconscious outside. Alexandria immediately called 911 and ran to the parking lot to assist. When she got there, she noticed the man’s face was turning blue — he couldn’t wait until medical professionals arrived.
Alexandria works at Wendy’s while going to school at Bluegrass Community & Technical College (BCTC) to become a certified nursing assistant. Her dream is to work in a hospital neonatal intensive care unit after she graduates. Because she learned CPR in high school, Alexandria immediately began chest compressions on the man. After the first few, the man started gasping for air. Shortly after, medical personnel arrived on the scene and took the man to the hospital. Alexandria, now a hero, went right back to work. “I helped a man. I’m proud of myself for that,” she said. Who knows how the situation would have turned out without her aid that day? We’re so thankful for the men and women like Alexandria who aren’t afraid to jump in when someone needs help!
