POW/MIA Month and Recognition Day Honored With
Special Exhibit at Bethpage Public Library
Paul Masi, past president and chair of the
POW/MIA committee for the Vietnam Veterans of
America, Nassau County Chapter #82, recently
visited the Bethpage Library to see the display in
recognition of POW/MIA Month and Recognition
Day, on September 17.
The display of United States campaign, service
medals and decorations was put together by chap-ter
member Matt Rufrano of Bethpage highlighted
by the Prisoner of War Medal.
This award was presented to those who were
captured by enemy forces and held as a prisoner of
war after April 5, 1917. The display is located in
the Bethpage Library entrance and can be seen
through the end of September during regular
library hours.
Don't miss this wonderful display at the
Bethpage Public Library.
Charles Doyle, a healthy 31-year-old,
was dog-sitting for a friend when
an event occurred that nearly cost him
his life. He speculates that he was
sleepwalking, when he fell into a pool.
Unable to swim, he shouted for help
before sinking to the bottom.
Neighbors pulled the unconscious
Doyle from the pool and called 911.
Farmingdale Fire Department volun-teers
quickly arrived and found Doyle
in cardiac arrest, with a fatal rhythm
and no pulse. They intubated the
young man, shocked him nine times
and administered medication as they
rushed him to St. Joseph Hospital in
Bethpage.
When Doyle arrived at the hospital,
he had been in cardiac arrest for 27
minutes. The Emergency Department
team and its Chairman Joe Bruni, MD,
sprang into action with more medica-tion
and shocked him again.
If an individual's body is deprived
of oxygen too long, one of the conse-quences
can be brain damage. Luckily
for Doyle, St. Joseph Hospital is one of
the only hospitals on Long Island using
a new technology, Arctic Sun
Temperature Management System.
This body-cooling technology lowers
the body's core temperature to 91
degrees, slowing metabolism and pre-venting
dangerous brain swelling.
Insulated pads were applied to Doyle's
skin, allowing cold water to circulate
through them, effectively reducing his
body temperature both quickly and
safely. All of the hospital's critical care
nurse are trained in the administration
and patient monitoring of the Artie Sun
technology.
Thanks to this extraordinary team-work
and professionalism, Doyle was
pulled back from the brink of death.
"I just want to thank the people
who saved me for not giving up," said
Doyle, with tears in his eyes. " I 'm so
grateful."
Just four days after his near-death
experience, Doyle was discharged in
time to celebrate his upcoming birth-day.
