Angel of CPR
An unidentified man saved the life of a complete stranger last week.
Commuters on the train witnessed a man pass out during the rush hour commute home. Within seconds, the Angel of CPR stepped in and began chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth until the train made it to its’ next stop where paramedics took over.
The victim, a middle-aged man who just celebrated his 60th birthday, is recovering nicely with his wife of 33 years.
The doctors who treated the victim, were impressed with ability of the Angel of CPR, and his reaction time.
The victim’s wife is very grateful and referred to the stranger as a Guardian Angel.
“I really want to give him a big hug and say thank you,” she said. “He saved my husband, the father of my children.”
Be a Guardian Angel. Learn CPR!
