Pharmacy Student Uses Training to Save Toddler A two-year-old boy lying lifeless in his mother’s arms gets handed to you. How would you respond? Joshua Arnold ’13, Pharm.D. ’16, a third-year professional pharmacy student, was put in just that situation on January 30, 2015, when a neighbor pounded on his door fearing her two-year-old son was going to die. Arnold’s textbook approach led to a positive end to the emergency. “I give God all of the praise for allowing Joziah to still be alive; I did what anyone would do,” said Arnold during television interviews with Dayton media. “I was just a tool that God used.” Arnold wasn’t supposed to be home; he was scheduled to work at his pharmacy internship at Kettering Medical Center. His shift ended early, and he returned home and had even started cooking dinner. That’s when the pounding on his front door began. Damaris Pearson, carrying her unconscious, non-breathing son, rushed in. “Please help Joziah; he’s dying,” she exclaimed. Arnold immediately applied cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to the toddler — skills that he gained from a mandatory course in the School of Pharmacy. “I was asking myself [when I was taking the class], ‘Why is this class necessary for a pharmacist?’” he said. “Now I know. It’s valuable for a pharmacist, or for someone who is just cooking dinner. It helped make a positive difference in this situation.” WhileArnold startedCPR, he instructed Pearson to use his cell phone to call 911. In a matter of minutes, Cedarville’s emergency unit arrived. Prior to its arrival, the toddler began breathing again. “I amthankful for the trainingCedarville [School of Pharmacy] has providedme,” said Arnold. “This unfortunate event allowed me to realize that I am being prepared for these kinds of real-life situations.” “Joshua [Arnold] remained calm throughout the ordeal, and I believe that it was because of his quick thinking and accurate recollection of his training that my son is alive today,” said the boy’s father, Joshua Pearson ’18, who was not home at the time of the crisis. “We are eternally grateful for the Lord’s provision.” According to medical doctors at Soin Medical Center in Beavercreek, Ohio, Joziah had a virus that caused his temperature to spike, resulting in a febrile seizure. Today, the toddler is living a normal life and is enjoying the stuffed animal he received on his ambulance ride to Soin. “Joziah is doing fine, but there was a time that we thought we were going to lose him,” said his mother, with a tear in her eye. “It has definitely brought our priorities into perspective. We are so thankful for Josh Arnold and for his university training.” Campus News
