A Culpeper man died Saturday, September 26, and lived to tell the story.
"I have only good things to say about the Emergency Department at Culpeper Memorial Hospital,” says Y. Z. Griggs, a supervisor of Black Industries known as "Sam.”
"I was dead, and they were just great to me.”
Sam’s story began at home Saturday evening when Griggs suddenly began to throw up blood. His wife, Gladys, the proprietor of Jenners Restaurant in Culpeper, called the rescue squad to rush him to the hospital.
“The rescue squad was so good to us, so efficient,” she remembers.
When they reached the Emergency Department, Griggs recalls, “I felt myself going. It was just like I went off to sleep.”
Dr. Jay Moscoe, the emergency physician who immediately went to work on Griggs, reports, "Griggs was unresponsive; he had no pulse and no blood pressure. When we received him, he was in serious trouble from internal bleeding, and we had to catch up fast to save him.”
With the assistance of Dr. Mort Chiles and Dr. George Broman, who came in, and Dr. Al Cramer, who was consulted, Moscoe and the emergency team administered intravenous fluids and blood transfusions and used MAST (military anti-shock trousers) to bring up Griggs blood pressure, successfully resusKatina him.
