Ever saved anyone's life?

Done a few but I’ve made a difference to vastly vastly more. It’s a perk of the job I guess.
Working in London and Naloxone was the only drug I carried that didn’t go out of date as it was used that often.
My ma jumped in the River Thames and saved two kids that had fallen in (down at Deptford). She never talks about it, but iirc "Nationwide" (old TV programme) did a little story about it.
My ten year old jumped into a swimming pool and dragged his six year old brother to the side. The six year old thought he was a good swimmer but the deep water threw him. Things like this happen so quickly, I was there but just checking the two year old wasn't about to jump in the water too, you look down for a nano second and something has happened. The whole incident probably was over in 30 seconds but it could have ended so differently.

I hit the 27 yrs mark last week man and boy Now work in a Drs Surgery but do 1 per month on an ambulance. It’s made me bitter and twisted mind and anything other than dying is just a scratch.
This is going to sound awful but bear with me. I listen to some of the stuff that people class as life changing or landmarks on here and I flick past them without even battling and eyelid. I know it’s not my family or friends (that’s what makes the difference) but I’ve seen the worst of the worst in all walks of life and I’ve really become desensitised by the sufferings of others. Don’t get me wrong, I would like me to go out to my family as I do the right thing but by Christ, some people need to walk in someone else’s shoes sometimes to see what real hardship and suffering is.

Pulled à team mates tongue out of his throat after he'd been clattered.
That’s about £4.50 isn’t it?

I saved a lad from drowning while on holiday when I was around 12 years old.
I can imagine it must have been exciting but that surprises me.
I've talked someone out of suicide and known what to do when a mate overdosed until the paramedics got there but I'm not sure they would have died without me.

Yes. A friend of mine had a gun at his head, I spent 4 hours talking him out of it. VERY scary.
He shot himself in the head three years later.

Should have chucked the kernt back in.
I stopped an old lady from falling down the escalator at Kings Corss tube station once. She'd got in a right pickle trying to get her suitcase on it with her and was toppling over backwards. No idea whether the fall would/could have been fatal but I don't imagine it would have done her much good.

Me marra once fell from a rope swing into the river and the daft shite couldn't swim, so I had to run down the field to alert me ma n that. Me mam's mate's daughter (wad) ended up jumping in after him and bringing him safely to shore. Mind they nearly didn't believe me when I told them 'cos I was pissing mesell laughing.
