Store director gives life-saving help to customer (do you know CPR?)


I'm trained in first aid and CPR. I donate blood regularly too.

COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — Patty Kuehn had just completed her grocery shopping after finishing a day's work as the store director at Super Saver.

She was about to leave when she noticed Katie Pinkston sitting on a bench near the exit and checkout lanes at the store.

"She just didn't look very good, so I stopped and asked if she was OK," Kuehn told the Columbus Telegram.

Pinkston, 64, had just taken a seat after shopping with her daughter. The Leigh woman had a headache for a couple days and, while she was in the store, started to feel a tightening in her throat and was lightheaded.

Just when you think people are no damn good, along comes something like this to restore your willingness to believe otherwise...

Blessings on Patty Kuehn!

my wife,who is also trained in cpr and first aid,saved my life doing the staying alive.

i had a heart and fell on the coach. she had to work on me until the the paramedics arrived and put me on the floor.
took me about 5 months before my ribs healed!

the thing is it`s not hard to learn how to save someone`s life.
