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!
