Stacy Broadrick, Rodney Harris, Paul Jacobson, and Terry Thompson kept Rex Westerfield alive on the ride from West Oaks Mall to the West Houston Medical Center.

“There is no way I can properly thank you and express my gratitude,” Westerfield wrote. “You are to be commended for your medical knowledge and your professional actions. I hope you take pride in your chosen field, as you are providing a great service to Houston.

“May God bless you all your days.”

His wife’s blood-sugar level dropped suddenly, leaving her nearly incapacitated, Bert Huebner wrote.

Within five minutes, William Arthur, Doug Descant, Superion Johnson, and Cameron Wood responded.

Still, she was admitted for two days.

“Due to their prompt response and professional care, my wife is with us and doing quite well,” Huebner wrote.
