Have you Saved a Life
I got a letter a couple days ago from someone I did not know.....the name and address were totally unfamiliar. It wasnt until I opened and read the contents that I remembered who this was. The letter was a thank you from a grandmother, and it really made me smile. A little over a year ago, I made a 911 call from work when one of my employees showed signs of a heart attack, (in his 60's, very nice man) and layed him on the floor to keep him from falling. I was with him until the paramedics arrived, and talked him thru the fear until he became unconscious.....about five minutes.
Turns out he had an anurism, and died on the way to the Hospital, but was revived quickly, and is doing well. The letter was from his wife and kids (also signed by a couple grandkids) and made me feel very happy. So....the question:
Have you saved a life?....tell us about it
