ATLANTA — 

A movie-set medic was in the right place at the right time when a woman went into cardiac arrest at midtown Atlanta's Piedmont Park. 

"I've been a paramedic for 21 years. My job is to help people no matter who it is or where they are," 

Lee Burks told Channel 2's Carl Willis. 

He was working a set at the park last week for a movie starring Anthony Hopkins and Colin Farrell when a woman collapsed in the parking lot. 

"When I arrived, she was laying over here behind this tree," he said, showing Willis. 

Burks said he ran the equivalent of two football fields to reach her. Her son said he had been hoping for a miracle. 

"I stood at my mother's feet and said, 'Lord, please bring her back,' and the paramedic walked up," Eric Thomas said. 

Burks said he was happy to do the job.

"We did two complete rounds of CPR and then reassessed for a pulse and found out the patient actually had a pulse," he said.
The woman, 82-year-old Annette Thomas, was too weak to talk but was back at her northwest Atlanta home Thursday.
"I've always believed in miracles," her son said.
