Son Whose Father Collapsed Calls 911, Is Stunned To See What He Does When He Arrives (Photo)

After responding to a 911 call, an EMT went above and beyond the call of duty to help an elderly man.

In a now-viral Facebook post, Ken Densley of Sacramento, California, wrote that his elderly father collapsed while mowing his lawn. Born in 1929, the stubborn man refused to let anybody else mow his lawn.

After he passed out, neighbors called 911. Although Densley’s father initially refused to go to the hospital, that didn’t stop the EMT from performing a selfless act of kindness.

"[W]hile [my sister and I] were talking [our father] back inside one of the EMTs put the gurney away and the other finished mowing the lawn!" Densley wrote in his Facebook post. "I told him I would do that but he insisted!"

The EMT reportedly finished mowing the lawn and then put the mower away.  

According to the American Medical Response's official website, their mission is to make a difference by caring for those in need. They aim to be caregivers above everything else.

Densley's Facebook post included a photo of the EMT, hard at work mowing his father's lawn. It has since gone viral, receiving over 10,000 likes and 1,900 shares in four days.

"Being an EMT is a special calling," Facebook user Gaylen Carney Smith wrote in a comment on the post. "They are brave beyond measure and have such heart-warming empathy for the people they serve!"

"What the EMT did isn't part of the training or the job," Sammi Henricksen wrote. "It's part of an amazing, honorable man."

Later that day, Densley’s father was admitted to the hospital, where he stayed overnight.

"He was discharged last night and we just got back from a follow up visit with his doctor and he's doing great," Densley wrote in an update to the Facebook post. "He has also promised to let us mow the lawn from now on!"

Densley added in a comment that he has rearranged his schedule so that he'll be able to mow his father’s lawn in the future.
