Looks like he was alternating with one of the other referees but was giving mouth to mouth whilst the other was compressing. Brain damage occurs if there’s no oxygen going to the brain after a few minutes. But yeah 30 mins of intense focus on bringing him back for sure.
Thats a skill that most kids want to have but no father to show them the way and its all about college and nothing to do with character buildup!! Wish I was learning something like that when younger.
@@KennyMcCormick5467 Have you been here since, Mar 31, 2021, just to troll comments like this? It would've been funny if that referee was you and he didn't help you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This brought me to tears. The world works in mysterious ways we can never understand. Grateful that young man happened to be in the right place at the right time and now he’s a hero.
30 minutes!!!!!!! Anyone who has ever taken a first aid course knows how hard it is and by even 2minutes you can feel the exhaustion coming in. Well done Myles you absolute legend!
Miles is a true hero. Also Chest compressions should be taught to everyone all over the world. 5 years ago It most probably would have saved my grandfather's life. I really miss him.
I agree, its something that is so simple to learn but could easily save someone's life in an instant. I learned it even though I'm not certified for it. You don't need to be certified to save a life :)
Many companies will actually pay for their employee to get cpr training and certified. Many don't tell you that because they'd have to give you the time off of work to attend. So ask about it. Should be paid for by them as well.
@@beckypeters5449 in Australia, we have the Flying Doctor for remote areas, using light planes, plus helicopters for areas not remote, but still a bit far for an ambulance.
I live within a quarter mile of my town's fire/EMS, and being all volunteer, typical response time to my area is 45 minutes. I always say to the neighbors "if you don't like the service, volunteer!" I plan on taking the course to drive the ambulance next year, since I work from home.
30....minutes. 30 minutes of trying to save a guy's life. Damn. Take for a moment and soak in that which it takes from one's own spirit to keep on, on either end. Love and respect 💚👊
30 MINUTES IS AN INSANE AMOUNT OF TIME TO DO CHEST COMPRESSIONS! I have been trained in CPR and it is TOUGH to do for even 5 minutes! Probs to the young man who saved a life.
I have to say, as an advanced first aider myself, someone from above was helping him. Doing CPR is so tiring that even paramedics switch out after either 2 or 3 minutes or after approx. 200 compressions to ensure that the person receives the best quality CPR. To do it for 30 minutes non-stop is nothing short of miraculous. Miles did an amazing job! He knew what he had to do & drew on every ounce of strength God gave him. I'm proud of him!
A really brave young man, if he wasn't there to save that guy he wouldn't have survived, so glad the guy is now safe and alive to be with his wife. Thanks to the young man, my heart goes out to both of them🧡🧡
the ref was 36 years old when the person that would save his life was born... it's amazing to know that somewhere someone is born that could kill or save someone's life.
What we need in this world! Love this! Take Classes. CPR, First Aid, Self Defense…. Protecting and saving others and yourself is everything. Glad he was okay. Also I cried seeing his wife sacred. Heartbreaking hope they stay safe and healthy. Hope he gets better! Thank goodness for that hero! ❤️
The fact that only 1 person in that entire gym knew CPR is ridiculous. He would have died otherwise. I’m so grateful to be certified and helped a 1 year old who was choking in a restaurant.
I am a volunteer fire fighter and have participated in a few CPR incidents since 1964. But one stood out to me where my partner on the Ambulance for some reason which I can't recall didn't participate in the CPR which I performed. At 75 I am certainly not an active first responder but do appreciate all the young people like this 25 year old who assists people in an emergency.
What a true hero! Young man, seeing you in action literally brought tears to my eyes. You have a brave soul and a pure heart of gold. Please note that you will be rewarded greatly for what you did to save that referee's life. Blessings to you my great fellow!!!
this made me so emotional!! i cried when they were announcing how Miles wasn't even supposed to be there that day. incredible young man!! Your family should be so proud of you!! i don't even know you, neither do so many of us, but I'm so proud of you for what you did for this man!! 💙❤💙❤
As Dr Mike says "compressions, compressions, compressions". And God put that young firefighter with that team for this reason and most likely many others.
I admire such a hopeful brave man, didn't give up for 30 minutes he saved a life. I love to see a positive news like this, it's just wonderful such individual become a big help, an instrument to save another life.
Often people assume that someone is calling 911, when in fact nobody is. It’s important as a first step to designate someone to call 911 and then update them to periodically relay the patient’s condition to the dispatcher. Also, others should have given that guy a break. It’s a lot of work to do compressions, and technique is less important. He could have demonstrated quickly what to do.
It’s amazing how things had to line up just perfectly for Myles, player on the one team, to save the life of the ref, John. I have a feeling they will both become a part of each other’s family. Congratulations and prayers John continues to heal following his bypass surgery. I love stories like this 🧡🧡
This is the type of videos that should have millions of views and the recognition that this guy deserves for saving a life 👏. Instead of all the useless videos you see on the internet.
In these often troubled and divided times, this player's quick reaction and determined efforts restores my faith in humanity. The firefighter/basketball player is definitely the MVP of the league!
Knowing CPR is so important. You never know when you may need to use it. My job required regular CPR recertification. It can sometimes feel like a nuisance going over the same thing year after year until you actually need it. One day my mom went unresponsive without warning. Muscle memory kicked in the moment my mom passed out. Every sec counts. Thankfully my mom is alive and well today. Please learn CPR. You may be the one to save someone’s life one day.
Yay, some good news for a change!! This man is alive thanks to this fine young man -- and I do mean fine in more ways than one 🥰 -- and glad to hear his surgery was successful as well!! Many blessing to both of these men!!
Great Job Myles!!!!! True Hero from one first responder to another. You said it all....... run towards the emergency instead of running away from it. I'm glad you happened to be there.
30 minutes. He never gave up on the dude the entire time. A real human being (and a real hero)
@Courtney Green no, she got told to get away

That's what I'm saying 30 minutes is no joke to keep doing anything straight but he wouldn't give up

@@Me-wk7dz And it’s exhausting after a few to several minutes.
@@paddlefar9175 u can see briefly in the video that people switch out but its only for a second then the vid cuts to the guys fiancé
You might swap out, but you don't stop until the doctor says so.
Wow 30 minutes of chest compressions... That's probably more tiring than a whole basketball game. Props my man!
You can buy a lot of time for someone by doing chest compressions, especially if mouth to mouth doesn't work.
That’s why all stadiums/schools should have a LUCAS like how they have AED’s. Hands free and steady even compressions with minimal risk for rib injuries.

You could hear the emotional in his voice
That’s wild that guy was not only there but did cpr for 30 minutes. God was on both of those men’s side
Almost as if there were supernatural forces at work to put Myles in position to use his skills to save Sculli's life.
1:43. He was not scheduled to play that day.
