A group of nurses at Brigham and Women’s hospital are sharing their story of heroism after they jumped into action to save a man’s life who’d collapsed at their colleague’s wedding last month. Micaela Deary married Patrick Johnson in a stunning ceremony at the Tirrell Room in Quincy on 9/3!, but at 9pm, things took a very tragic turn. While everyone was on the dance floor, one of the guests collapsed. Nurses Amanda Berger and Laura Hoover immediately begin doing chest compressions while the shocked wedding guests look on. Micaela herself and two of the heroic nurses called into The Getup Crew on Hot 96.9 this morning to tell their story of amazing heroism. For the complete story, scroll below. Story will be updated later this morning.

In a statement from Brigham and Women’s: “We are so proud of the work our nurses perform every day at the hospital, and this incredible off-duty feat is another testament to their expertise. A huge thank you to all emergency nurses this Emergency Nurses Week!”

We had Micaela and her colleague Nora Kate on the air to talk about the experience. You can listen to that conversation HERE.
