Medical student aids woman in cardiac arrest

Gabrielle Brumfield

Gabrielle Brumfield, a second-year medical student at the USA College of Medicine, had stopped at Starbucks for an afternoon coffee. 

She noticed another vehicle had bumped her car in the parking lot. “I came outside, getting ready to speak with the driver, and just looking in I could tell that the driver was unconscious,” she said. 

The driver, Agnes Jackson, was in cardiac arrest. 

Brumfield opened Jackson’s passenger side door and started performing the steps of CPR that she learned in medical school. Meanwhile, Starbucks manager Kenia Mose called 911 and Jackson’s family to let them know what was happening.

“I just feel like it’s human decency,” Brumfield said. “You see someone struggling, you see someone in pain, you see someone at their most vulnerable, and you step in and help.”

Jackson’s daughters, Lakia Kelly and Tamika Jackson, are grateful she did. “Gabby, that’s my hero,” Kelly said. “She’s heaven sent.”

An ambulance took Jackson to a local hospital.
