Amy Adams says she helped save a stabbing victim's life and credits short-lived TV role for medical training
Amy Adams said she used beach towels and nurse training from Dr. Vegas to stop heavy bleeding after a man was stabbed in the neck.
- Amy Adams recently told the Smartless podcast that she saved a stabbing victim's life using skills learned from playing nurse Alice Doherty in the short-lived CBS medical drama Vegas.
- While leaving a Santa Monica restaurant, Adams and her family were the first people on the scene when a man was stabbed in the neck. After spotting him, she and her father rushed to help while her husband, Darren, stayed with their daughter.
- "Luckily," Adams noted, the group had beach towels available as they headed to the beach. She remained "focused" while applying pressure to the wound to stem the bleeding.
- A year later, Adams encountered the stabbing victim at a restaurant. When he approached her, he confirmed he was the man she had aided, prompting her to exclaim, "Oh my God, it's you."
- Other celebrities have similarly intervened in emergencies: actor Sean Hayes used his own shirt as a tourniquet to save a shooting victim, and Danny Trejo rescued an infant from an overturned vehicle in Los Angeles in 2019.
