Man who saved stranger's life with CPR is moved to tears as he's honored for Feel Good Friday
#feelgoodfriday #eastidahonews #cpr
EastIdahoNews.com and Ashley Furniture HomeStore in Idaho Falls and Pocatello are partnering to honor people in our community for Feel Good Friday. Every week, we surprise someone deserving of special recognition.
Brad Pearson is a physical therapist who has been fighting long-haul Covid for several months. The illness and exhaustion have forced him to work from home.
Earlier this week, he heard someone yelling outside his Blackfoot home. He went to the front door and a man working in the field across from Pearson's house was asking for someone to help him. The man's colleague had collapsed and did not have a pulse.
Pearson called 911 and went across the street. For over 10 minutes, he did chest compressions on the man until the paramedics arrived. Pearson was exhausted and said he prayed constantly for the strength to keep the compressions going. The man was rushed to the hospital and survived - with doctors crediting Pearson for getting the man's heart beating again.
We decided to pay Pearson a visit and thank him for his quick actions. Watch the video above to see the surprise!

speaking as a former EMT, cpr is the most physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting thing you can do. God bless you sir

What an amazing humble man, in tears because he could help save a life. His reaction to the incident sailed it all, makes you realise there are still good people out there, just wish there were more like him. I pray he recovers from his long covid and can get back to his normal healthy self. Very deserving ❤️🙏🏻

Never done it myself, but I've heard this over and over from so many qualified people. Brad is an older gentleman who was recovering from a RESPIRATORY DISEASE THAT HAS KILLED MILLIONS! Ran... While calling and talking... Only to arrive and perform CPR for MINUTES... You can talk about the great powers of adrenaline and all but... Dang... You are a hero, sir. Nothing more, nothing less
As a former CPR Coordinator for a large metro hospital, it makes me happy to hear this story. As a Christian, I’m thankful that he paid attention to God’s call to go back to see what was happening. Glad to hear that the man survived. ♥️ The gift of life!

A friend got at lot of help taking nac, vit d and zinc. I researched nac because i didnt know what it did. Turns out it can destroy biofilm which infections can hide under also it removes toxins from liver. He has had copd for years. Both him and and another friend with lifelong asthma said that nac made them cough up very thick stuff that blocked the airway on the way out. Stuff they had never been able to get out before.
The hand of God... what a precious thing to be a part of. Very touching and humbling ❤️🙏

Feel Good Friday is a highlight of my week. This guy is so amazing - his emotion about the other man in the midst of his own suffering is beautiful and moving.

@@AuntBee59 I'm not religious either, and I see and appreciate the positive place your comment is coming from, but for us "non-believers" actions like these rather show us what good can come from humans and that people can do amazing things themselves. To save this life was done by this person (and the medics) and he can and should take all the credit (in my opinion) and not pass it on to a higher power. Especially when it's something so true coming from a humble person like in this video. I understand you believe in God, and this is great if your belief helps you in times when you need it. We have our own methods of staying strong in difficult times, we just don't need a god for this. In the end we have all hopefully found our ways and what works for us. All the best and happy holidays. :)

@@cdh79 well I must say that was a very polite comment. Thank you. But there is God. There is heaven. He directs most of us to do good. I’m so sad you don’t have him in your life. One day, you will stand in front of him. And I bet if you are in a deadly accident, he will be the first you call on. I just know you will find him. Why not now, I have no idea. You see, I was given up as a child. At 10 years old, God became my only friend. He still is. He is a comfort to me. I can count on him. I feel he is the reason I am like I am today. A big heart. It’s because of him. He guides me when I don’t know what to do. I couldn’t live this life without him. I pray one day you feel the same.🙏❤️ And I would like to say Merry Christmas to you. And God bless and keep you.❤️🙏🎄

Such a touching story and humble man. His 'sweetheart' found a good one. Greetings fromnthe UK.
How beautiful that he refers to the "gentleman" who needed help, and that God told him to go back to his porch to check. His emotion when he is telling the story speaks volumes about his heart. Sending Brad, and everyone involved blessings.
That one got me! Quiet humble man, hope you recover from your own issues soon to spend time with your sweetheart wife
Sure beats the kind of stories we get on the news these days. Thank you Nate and EIN for bringing these stories to our attention.

Wow you are a true hero ❤🙏 from Texas his family and friends God works in mysterious ways ❤....
I have long-haul covid. It's horrible. It's amazing he was able to do compressions despite it. It's a tiring thing to do for a healthy person. I wish him well and that he recovers
Wow.... had Brad not listened to that inner voice telling him go look again, things would have turned out so different. What a lesson for EVERYONE to listen if you hear that inner voice. You are a blessing sir.
My mom has long haul covid, and it's so bad she can't do hardly anything for herself right now. Bless this man for what he did, and being so humble about it.
Such a wonderful story and how God used this man! You could just feel God’s presence in his life!
Outstanding man. I pray that he recovers quickly so they can enjoy there dinner. God bless you sir and thank you for being you.
Praying for both men, each facing their own health problems, a very speedy recover. I love FGF. ❤️🙏
Such a nice Person.
What a guy! God bless him. I pray that his own problems are cleared up very quickly
Such a wonderful, humble and emotional gentleman! He was chosen to saved that life. Hope he gets better himself. Amen 🙏🏻
I'm so glad he was called to save this man. I am so glad that his family doesn't have to deal with the loss of him. Both of them have been blessed by this.
He’s a hero.
I have been taught CPR...however have never had to use it.....what an angel from heaven this man is....hope everyone involved has a long happy healthy life
God bless these people both. Folks 1 minute of performance of CPR is exhausting God's hand was in this. Such a humble God believing man💪🏽🙏💖🐝from Bakersfield California.
You were exactly where you were meant to be, and you listened. God blessed you with what you needed when you took that first step of faith. Thank you for your selfless example and for filling our hearts in knowing that there are people like you. Now, it is our turn to pray for you and your family. God, you know this man and you know his needs and you love him. I pray today for his healing and restore strength and good health. I know you will bless him for his leap of faith and for giving what he could to a complete stranger. Thank you for he and his family and thank you Jesus. AMEN.

So grateful that he listened to the still small voice. The world needs more people willing to do so. More than one life was saved here.
This man is the hero the world needs. May your life be long and may you always have good luck Sir and may the man you saved recover well.
Good Lord, I cried like a baby watching this Video. It is Awesome what God could do thru this Earthly Angel. Thank You Kind Sir for being the Helpful person You are. May God Bless You in Your Recovery.
Well done Sir 👏 I'm sure the man who's life you saved is grateful but just so you know, we are all thankful for you and what you did!

Every compression you give is staving off certain death for only that brief moment, so, to give another human enough compressions that almost ten minutes consumes is absolutely heroic and beyond amazing. Someone has their husband/father/son/brother in their living world right now because this weakened man found the strength to carry on and not give up on another.
Thank you 🙏😇 you're a good person ♥️.🤗🌹🌹🌹

Lots of beautiful people in this world and Brad is one of them , nothing greater than the gift of life .
Wow.. thanks to you!!! You’re a hero saving that wonderful man . I hope he makes a great recovery ❤
Wow what a touching story. God was really looking out for both of them. He gave the strength to one guy to help save the other guys life. I believe in miracles and this story just proved that they do happen.

I've been trying to recover from Long Haul Covid for over a year. Covid put me so close to death that my wife, a head nurse in the Emergency Department, left the hospital to prepare the family for my death. Only be the grace of God working through the medical staff and my family did I survive. God bless this man and you for recognizing his deed.
You have no idea how much these Feel Good Friday's mean. To know goodness and humbleness still exist in our world. 😂 Makes me want to move to East Idaho!
Wow Mr. Pearson, the PT, is a hero. I hope he has recovered from COVID. I can't imagine doing CPR for 8-10 minutes by yourself. I've only done it for up to 2 to 3 minutes at a time in a CPR class, and that was tiring. Blessings to this Good Samaritan.
My sweetheart, my wife ❤️ What a remarkable man!
He listened to God’s voice and saved a family from tragedy. Hero!
