Retired medic saves the life of a neighbor on Thanksgiving

Tweet

Anthony Whisnant who served as a U S Army National Guard medical doctor for several years before he had to retire due to post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD is being called a savior after his next-door neighbor Shaquana Youngblood who was shot by her former boyfriend Robert Lamar Adams in a dispute on Thanksgiving morning in Gaston North Carolina. Anthony who is now employed by Rocky's Tree Service has saved lives before. He used his life savings skills to work by applying pressure on Shaquana's chest who had been shot by her former boyfriend in a domestic dispute as she fell outside of his home and cried for help. Anthony insisted that he acted to save her life since his training kicked in to keep her alive until medical help arrived to take her to the hospital where she is making a recovery from her chest wound which would have ended her life had Anthony not used his life saving skills. The alleged shooter who is Robert Lamar Adams was arrested by the Gaston police shortly after the incident and charged with first degree attempted murder the same day. It is a shame that crime does not take a day off like Thanksgiving.
