SAN DIEGO — A San Diego woman is recovering after a freak accident while surfing in Pacific Beach in early September, and she said it was the quick thinking of her friend and a lifeguard who likely saved her life.
“So I just saw her, saw the blood, heard her scream and then … ‘this is serious, we need to go, now,’” Maddox told ABC 10News He applied the tourniquet while lifeguards arrived. One of those lifeguards was Skye Poskey, a lifeguard for the City of San Diego. Poskey's training quickly kicked in. He applied a real tourniquet to get Breighner to the hospital as fast as possible.
Breighner lost three liters of blood and doctors rushed her into emergency surgery. Nearly a month later, Breighner is walking again, still bandaged but healing.
