I’m taking a Life Safety Class on Thursday and it reminded me that I’ve saved three lives, though I’m not really sure one counts.
I saved a man who was choking at a dinner once (the Heimlich maneuver works). I saved a guy from being hit by a car once (grabbed him before he stepped into the street without looking). And arguably I saved my roommate in high school from ODing on pills, but that one’s not really me so much as ‘we’ and I was just the take-charge, lets get this done! person.
So there. Three lives over three decades. That’s pretty good, I figure.
