A Mummer-doctor performed CPR to help save a man’s life during New Year’s Day Eagles game

Vincent Basile, a Mummer who struts the Cara Liom Wench Brigade, went viral after he performed CPR in his pink and blue garb on a man who’d seemingly collapsed during the Eagles New Year’s Day game against the New Orleans Saints. Aside from being a Mummer, the 30-year-old is also an emergency medicine resident at Einstein Medical Center in North Philly.

“The first thing I had to do was convince everyone I actually was a doctor,” he said with a chuckle. “It’s not a typical outfit I had on compared to the scrubs I’m normally wearing.” Basile said he’d never been in a situation where he had to jump into action without having a complement of medical staff around him. But the man woke up after the CPR.
