Nurse sets own broken legs while trapped in car | Emergency Preparedness | Forums

Crazy story, wonder how many people would have the thought process to do that

Stacie Reis had made the drive between Prince George and her hometown of Kitimat countless times without incident, but that all changed last month.

The 27-year-old’s car went off the road, careening 40 feet down an embankment.

Once she got her bearings inside the flipped car, Reis’ training as a neo-natal nurse kicked in.

“I noticed my feet were real broken,” she said. “They were twisted to the side. My little nurse brain was like, you’ve got to straighten those up because you’re going to…lose your blood supply and then you’re going to lose your legs. I just prayed for a while and so I then picked them up and I moved them. It was really painful but I did it.”
