HIGH POINT, N.C. — A brave pair of EMT workers in High Point were recognized on Wednesday for going above and beyond last month.
Dec. 9 is a day that Tavia Starborn and her EMT partner Chris Harrison will not soon forget, but that now memorable call for help had some very routine beginnings.
Around 2 p.m. that Sunday afternoon, the Piedmont Triad Ambulance and Rescue Unit was dispatched on a non-emergency back pain call, but when Starborn and Harrison arrived, they found the situation to be quite different than what they expected.
“We found out we had a very pregnant female patient that was experiencing back labor and started moving toward the women’s hospital,” explained Starborn. “She didn’t state that she was pregnant, she didn’t state that she was in labor [when she called], so when we got there that’s when we found out it was baby time.”
