Wife Saves Husband with CPR
“I think everyone should take a CPR class and become certified,” said Joan Hager.
Hager’s husband suffered a heart attack after performing physical activity, and Hager immediately recalled her CPR training from 20 years prior.
“Anything can happen at any time – not just at home but also at the grocery or in the community. I think that having CPR or having knowledge of it helps a person not be so paralyzed when they see an emergency.”
Hager called 911 when her husband collapsed, and with the help of the operator, Hager kept blood and oxygen flow to her husband’s brain.
Help arrived about five minutes later, and her hubby is alive and well today because of Hager’s fast reactions.
Be a hero. Learn CPR!
