'I had no idea that I would be there to save a man's life.'
SALT LAKE CITY — It was a desperate situation that played out on a city street with a man wounded in an apparent road rage shooting and perhaps only minutes making the difference between life and death.
"I wanted to go home and take off my uniform and relax," Oaks told KSL-TV. "I really didn't want to go to Costco that night.""Intuition was so loud I couldn't say no," Oaks recalled. Oaks said she is combat lifesaver certified, and she quickly defaulted to her training with what she had available to her — a man's leather belt and a traditional tourniquet — in order to slow the blood loss from the man's arms.
"I've been so trained on this that it was like second nature for me," Oaks said. "I was so grateful for the years of training and then hours, the endless hours of training that I've been provided and that my leadership has given me because I knew exactly what to do."
