A Miracle at 200 CPR Compressions
She just kept thinking to herself, I will get you back. She promised the stranger whose chest she was performing CPR on that she would save him.
A 19-year-old woman who had learned CPR about five years ago ran to the rescue when other students were fleeing. She found a 20-year-old man on the floor. He had suffered a massive heart attack.
Around 200 compressions, she heard a noise that sounded like air getting into his throat. She called it a miracle.
The young man survived and our young hero feels like a different person.
“It just puts your whole life into perspective that you’re alive right now and you’re healthy and it just really put everything into perspective that that is the most valuable thing that you could ever have is your health.”
Be a hero. Learn CPR!
