A routine day took a life-threatening turn for Dr. William Shula—but thanks to the quick actions of first responders and UC Health’s Air Care & Mobile Care team, he got a second chance at life.
Dr. Shula was critically injured when he blacked out while driving. During air transport, UC Health’s emergency team used onboard ultrasound to diagnose a life-threatening abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). That rapid response meant the surgical team was ready the moment he arrived at UC Medical Center.
Now, 10 years later, Dr. Shula remains thankful for the seamless teamwork that made all the difference, “I would not be standing here if that team didn’t work together as well as they did.”
