Tomball student named 'Heart Hero' by hospital
published Aug. 1, 2012
Kason Faulkner, a sophomore at Tomball Memorial High School, was recently named a Heart Hero by the Tomball Regional Medical Center.
The honor came from actions he took when his father was having a heart attack. According to a hospital press release, Faulkner quickly called 911 and followed the operator's instructions by performing CPR. Kim Faulkner credits his son with saving his life and giving him the care he needed to survive.
Thanks to his son's fast action, Kim was able to get to the cardiac catheterization lab at TRMC for a stent placement to open a blocked artery.
TRMC reminds all area residents to call 911 if a friend or relative experiences any of the following conditions: cold sweats, nausea, light-headedness, chest discomfort or pressure, squeezing, or pain in the upper body, one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
Another sign of problems is shortness of breath, with or without chest discomfort.
