Hanoverian doctor saves teammates life - two dramatic incidents

hannover. A remarkable incident in the world of football has again underlined the importance of quick action and first aid in medical emergencies. A football player recently collapsed during a training session in Hanover, but thanks to the quick intervention of a teammate, he stayed alive. This is not the first time that such a situation occurred.

repeated lifesaver: Michael Greve as responsibility

The general practitioner Michael Greve acted twice in crucial moments within just a little more than a year. In February of this year he reanimated a comrade during a training game by TuS Ricklingen after he had overturned on the field. A similar incident occurred in November 2022 when Greve also successfully provided first aid.

A voluntary savior is awarded

For his heroic commitment, Michael Greve was recently honored by Hanover's Mayor Belit Onay (Greens) in the new town hall, where he was awarded the state's rescue certificate. This award not only emphasizes its civil courage, but also the importance of regulated training in first aid within sports clubs.

The fate of a football player

The saved player commented in an interview with the NDR: "It was definitely a huge luck that Michael was there every time and ultimately ensured that I am here today and can still lead the training and still participate in life." This illustrates the deep gratitude compared to the use of Greve, who as a doctor not only became a lifesaver in the clinic, but also on the soccer field.

The meaning of first aid in sport

These incidents put a light on the need that sports clubs train their members in dealing with emergency situations. The skills that can be decisive at these moments are not only important for the players, but also for trainers and supervisors. First aid courses should therefore be an integral part of training in sports in order to be able to help quickly and effectively in an emergency.

FAZIT

The courageous use of Michael Greve not only saved a person's lives, but also reminds us of how important it is to train people around us and to be prepared for emergencies. Through such knowledge, many life may still be saved, not only in football, but in all areas of life.
