Eskins posted on Instagram that “some of these medical personnel had little or no experience in CPR – didn’t know how check a pulse. carotid. or femoral.”

“The medical staff did not have the right tools and even though the crowd tried to stop it, they kept on going. Travis admitted that somebody in the audience needed an ambulance.
