The Angel of CPR Strikes Twice
When Lizzy Stavers saw three people standing around a prostrate woman, she stopped to help.
One of the standers-by said she thought the motionless woman in the street was dead. Lizzy felt for a pulse, and when she couldn’t find one she gave two breaths and started CPR until medics arrived and whisked the victim off to the hospital.
This is the second time that Lizzy has saved someone in her neighborhood using CPR.
The local police gave Lizzy a commendation for her heroic efforts. And we’re sure the neighbors are pretty happy to have her around too.
Be a hero. Learn CPR!
