Meet 2016 zoll emt scholarship recipient - nathan boone

Nathan Boone, an EMT with the South Howell County Ambulance District in West Plains, Missouri, hopes to use his ZOLL EMT Scholarship to further his emergency service experience and eventually become a flight medic at the local air evacuation base. He has almost completed with his paramedic program at South Howell County Ambulance, and is scheduled to take his oral exam in mid-April.  Boone cites his most interesting call as the rescue of a middle-aged man who fell into a storm drain. In an effort to escape, the man climbed over half a mile only to get stuck at the end of the tunnel. The call came in about “screaming coming from underground.” When Boone and his partner arrived, they attempted to perform an extensive extraction with the help of the local fire department. With a heavy rain storm closing in, they knew the man would drown if they did not rescue him in time. When they reached him, it was a very confined space, and the man was combative. In order to get him out safely, they needed to use medication to calm him down. Once the man was free, they had to use every blanket on the truck to raise his body temperature.                                     For more information and to apply for the 2017 ZOLL EMT Scholarship visit www.zoll.com/emtscholarship.
