Saving Lives In 30 Minutes Or Less


Heart-attack victim saved by pizza deliveryman

LAKEWOOD, Colo. -Ordering a pizza may have saved George Linn's life. Linn's wife said he had just gone into cardiac arrest Friday when the pizza deliveryman knocked on the door of their Colorado home to bring their order. Kami Linn said she opened the door to "some burly-looking dude" and immediately asked for help.

The deliveryman, Chris Wuebben, happened to be a paramedic recently returned from Iraq.

Kami Linn said Wuebben performed CPR on her husband and revived him. Other paramedics who later arrived then took over. George Linn remains hospitalized in the intensive care unit.

Kami Linn said her husband has a history of heart problems.

Well, congratulations to this pizza delivery guy for being johnny on the spot and saving someone's life. Obviously you can see how well this country treats its defenders since he was delivering pie in Lakewood, Colorado.

Also, not to be too judgemental, but maybe if Mr. Linn didn't eat so much pizza he wouldn't need the delivery guy to be pumping his chest in the front walkway. Maybe try a salad next time Mr. Linn.
