MOBILE, Alabama (WALA) Here’s a real feel good story….
It goes back to October when a woman collapsed at Springhill Toyota. Three other women sprung into action and performed CPR until first responders arrived.
The woman survived, and Tuesday she had a chance to meet her saviors in-person to thank them.
Heart Attack
On October 13th Lisa Perry’s life almost ended. She collapsed in cardiac arrest while getting her car serviced at Springhill Toyota.
“My heart went out of rhythm. I had a heart attack,” Perry said.
Fortunately for the grandmother of 10, three good Samaritans were on hand; Cindy Hubbart, Shannon Lambert, and Makayla Reed… And get this they’re all nurses… Immediately they started working as a team performing CPR.
