According to CNN, the CEO of ParaDocs, the medical company hired by Astroworld organizers came forward on Monday to "set the record straight" about his staff's job at the event.
Alex Pollak told CNN that his team treated 11 people who went into cardiac arrest at the same time. He noted, however, that due to protocol, there are certain risks his team is advised not to take while treating others. "
This is something I'll have nightmares about for the rest of my life," Pollak said. "The team is extremely broken up about it. Seeing so many young people getting CPR at one time, it's just something no one should have to go through. Even though we're medical professionals, we should be used it. You can't get used to something like that."
"We never came close to running out of equipment and supplies. We could have treated at least double the amount of patients. We never expected in our lives to encounter a situation like that. It was absolutely horrific," Pollak said.
Pollak added that the issue wasn't the equipment or treating people, but the real challenge was getting in and out of the venue.
