Dispatcher save three lives in six months

Stanley Niedzwiki, 53, of Souderton, talked the callers through CPR to get the cardiac-arrest paients breathing.

Last month, a Bucks County 911 dispatcher saved the lives of an 80-year-old Bensalem woman and an 18-year-old Bensalem man in separate calls. In September, the same dispatcher saved a Solebury patient who, like the other two, had stopped breathing.

The dispatcher, Stanley Niedzwiki, saved the three lives by coaching callers over the phone to administer CPR until help arrived.

"It's not an everyday call, but Stan's a pro -- he knows what he's doing," Audrey Kenny, deputy director of the county's Department of Emergency Communications, said Wednesday. "He always goes above and beyond on every call."
