Flushing Nurse Saves Baby Trapped in Car

MediSys employees are in the business of saving lives. We get paid to do it every day.  Sometimes however, a life saving situation arises while we are “off the clock” and when one of our own responds to that situation, they deserve our congratulations.

One such instance took place earlier this month when Zuka Ramusevic, an LPN at Flushing Hospital, while on her way to work on the evening shift came across an infant trapped inside a car.  The baby’s mother inadvertently locked the baby inside and the scorching heat was an immediate threat to the baby’s health.  Zuka could not wait for Police to respond as she watched the crying, visibly flushed and possibly dehydrated baby suffer from the conditions. She was able to open the door with a screwdriver and rescue the infant. 

  Zuka examined the baby and noticed the baby was weak, red and gasping for air. She poured water on the baby’s head and replenished her fluids.  She recommended that the mother bring her child to the ER for further evaluation.

Once again, we commend Zuka, whos quick response and dedication to helping others was never cause for hesitation in her off-duty personal life as well as her professional career.
