Advocate Condell Medical Center ICU nurse Stephanie Riek was saved by her own friends and colleagues after a nearly fatal car crash.
Four months ago, Christina Riek was going about her normal routine, on her way to drop off her son and dog at her parents' house before heading into work at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, when she was T-boned while taking a left hand turn. Her son and dog were OK, but she nearly lost her life.
Riek's pelvis was broken in seven places, she had a large cut to her liver, and one of her arteries was severed. She was bleeding severely internally, and it was her friends and colleagues who helped save her life.
