He’s not just a pretty face. Although, in my book, that would be enough to admire. “Survivor” host Jeff Probst was giving an interview while attending the Academy of Magical Arts Awards this weekend when a woman operating the camera for the interview suddenly had a seizure. Jeff reacted quickly and caught the woman before she could hit the ground, and then stayed with her until emergency personnel arrived on the scene.
Looks like Jeff Probst has learned a thing or two about survival during his nine years snuffing out tiki torches.
At tonight’s Academy of Magical Arts Awards ceremony in Hollywood (hosted by Neil Patrick Harris), we witnessed as the Survivor host caught a camerawoman who suddenly suffered a seizure as he answering questions for her media outlet.
“She fell into my arms, basically,” Jeff told us exclusively right after the incident. “She had a seizure and she didn’t know it. When she came back to she said, ‘I’m fine,’ and she had no idea. Then she had another one.”
When the woman suffered her second seizure, Jeff jumped into action again, catching her, holding her and lowering her to the ground. A few minutes later, she came to and tried to get up, and Jeff held her head steady and explained that she needed to stay put until the ambulance arrived. He stayed with her until medical personnel arrived at the scene.
“I think anybody would react to that [help the woman],” he told us tonight. “That’s just another person in trouble. Anybody would do that. It’s amazing how quickly you can get into trouble.”
Jeff has a point – the average person would try to help someone in that situation. But could they? That’s the real question. I took CPR classes when my kids were little- and I know how to help someone who is choking. But I wouldn’t have a clue what to do if someone were having a seizure. I’d probably panic. Kudos to Jeff for keeping his cool and comforting this poor woman until the EMT arrived. And also, kudos for being the hunkiest reality show host ever. Sigh. He’s so dreamy. Those dimples…
Since it’s Monday morning, here’s an example of how NOT to react in an emergency: The Office \"Fire Safety Test\"
