What do pizzas and heart attacks have in common?

The fact that they contain so much fatty cheese to induce a heart attack? Wrong!
I read this rather interesting article on Yahoo News, where a pizza delivery guy actually saved the life of a customer when he began to suffer from a heart attack as he was waiting for his pizza delivery. Heart attacks are very serious, in fact a few weeks ago I had a pain in my leg and thought there was something wrong with the Leg vein , losing my cool thinking there was a clot. But now I know there is one person who didn’t.
Christopher Wuebben, 22, of Colorado, formerly of Illinois, was a paramedic until he was laid off so he was able to administer first aid and CPR to George Linn when he began to suffer from cardiac arrest. Mr. Wuebben had to act fast when he arrived at Mr. Linn’s house with the sole intention of delivering a pizza, as Mr. Linn’s wife screamed for help when he began to go into cardiac arrest.
John Keiley, Mr. Wuebben’s boss said “Chris told the woman that he was trained in CPR and knew what to do,”Keiley, owner of Johnny’s New York Pizza, said on Tuesday. “He got him on the floor and brought him back to life before the fire department showed up. He’s a good kid who was very nonchalant about what he did and hopefully this will work out for him.”
Keiley also added that Mr. Wuebben was offered positions from at least one local fire department and one local hospital, so he could easily working once again in his chosen field.
