JENKS, Okla. – Jenks Public Schools is calling a school nurse a hero after she helped save the life of a man after he injured himself.
They say Dennis Adams was leaving a football game at Allan Trimble Stadium when he fainted and hit his head on the curb. The impact from the fall severed an artery.
That is when Chelsea Franklin, a school nurse at Jenks West Elementary, came to Dennis’ aid and applied pressure to the wound. 911 was called, and she stayed with him to slow the loss of blood. Paramedics arrived and took him to the hospital.
For her actions, Chelsea was awarded the Jenks Public Schools “Excellence in Safety Award.” Dennis and his daughters also attended to thank Chelsea.
“She literally saved my life,” said Dennis. “I will always be grateful.”
