Yeah, I really did probably save a guys life last night.Ambulance

Last night I worked kind of late when at the last minute I decided I would go hide my girlfriend’s early Valentines day present in her desk at work (we work at the same company) so that I wouldnt have to get up TOO early to sneak in and do it before people came in to work. Well, I went ahead and did and drove back to my house. By this time its pretty late so I am tired and want to go to bed. I pulled up into my driveway but was suddenly struck by the thought that the gas station by my house always has good deals on the extra large redbull, which I am addicted to. I normally just go to the gas station by work but I figured hey, Im up and two blocks away, I may as well just go do it now since its late and I don’t want to make a stop in the morning and I can save some money. So I drive over to the gas station and the place is dead, no one around. Well, I walk in and walk over and grab a redbull and a monster and head for the counter. I put my drinks down on the counter and I notice immediately there is something wrong with the attendant, he is bent over the register. I asked him if he was ok and he goes “I…dont….”

And then he starts having muscle spasms and says “Im diabetic, call 911.” I call 911, sit him down, and the ambulance is there within literally 30 seconds. They come in and give him a shot of something. In the meantime I put back the energy drinks and head for the exit and the guy tells me on the way out “thank you so much brother.”

Wow.

    Wow. Micah’s car once saved a person’s life by breaking down. The police were on their way to pick him up when they saw a very similar car. So they stopped, thinking it was him, and instead it was a guy dying of a drug overdose. Then they picked him up and told him all about it and they were really excited. :)

    Thank goodness you were there. I’m glad to hear this story had a happy ending.
