'My guardian angels': Saskatoon resident meets the paramedics who saved her life

A Saskatoon resident showed her thanks to paramedics Tuesday after they had saved her life when she went into cardiac arrest.

“The careers these individuals have chosen may be called paramedics. However, I have a different name for Matt and Mitch. They’re my guardian angels,” said Nicole Craig.

Medavie Health Services West said they received a call on April 15 around 8:50 a.m. that a woman had gone into cardiac arrest. Matt McGurk and Mitch Sparrow, two paramedics, were luckily close by when the call came in and were able to revive Craig.

Sparrow stressed how lucky they were to be so close when the call came in, stating the importance that minutes and seconds can have in a situation like that. McGurk added that “This is the first time in 20 years I’ve been able to meet somebody that we’ve had a successful outcome from.”
