LOCKPORT, La. ― Two EMS providers responded to a call for a patient ready to deliver a baby, but when they arrived the newborn had just arrived.
Acadian Ambulance EMT Aslind Chouest and Paramedic Field Supervisor Stephanie Blanchard found Jamie Pitre, her three sons and mother on the side of the road May 22.
“It was a surreal moment to be a part of. Surrounded by her mother and three sons, the patient had a sense of calm and peace around her,” said Chouest.
While Pitre and her newborn daughter were being assessed and prepared for transport to the hospital, Blanchard offered to let Pitre’s mother cut the umbilical cord. She gladly accepted.
“As a medic, you see so much sadness and terrible things happen to people, that stay with you for a very long time,” Chouest said. “This was a refreshing experience, and a great reminder as to why we love our jobs.”
The two medics returned to visit the Pitre family hours later at the hospital, where many thanks were shared.
“We will remember this call for the rest of our lives,” Blanchard said. “This is a day I will never forget.”
