My baby sister saved someone's life today

A woman was driving with her 20-something daughter, stopped at a stop sign & started gasping & slumped over the wheel. The daughter put the car in park & called 911. My sister (a police officer) got there, did CPR, deployed the AED, and followed the ambulance to the hospital. She got a fistbump from the ER doctor for saving the woman's life.

Pretty effing cool!

The whole thing sounds like the opening scene from an episode of House M.D. Get out the whiteboard and list the symptoms!

Thank you for sharing it with us! Always good, and nourishing to the heart, to see, read, and hear stuff like this. Kinda helps restore one's faith.

Thank goodness your baby sister came along when she did, just at the right time. Congratulations to you both, no wonder you are proud of her.
