| Heimlich Maneuver (by Evolution and evolvability) |
Rick Freund
knows of such moments firsthand. He not only administered CPR to a
heart-attack victim, but also “performed the
Heimlich maneuver on a stranger
choking on food.”
His most daring
rescue occurred when a baby was trapped
in a burning building. Freund was
only 24 at the time, but already had
the makings of a hero. After being hoisted
through the baby’s small window,
he entered a room filled with smoke. Freund managed to save the infant before
exiting himself.
This unsung
hero then “walked away without even
knowing if the baby he saved was a
girl or a boy.” Forty-six years passed
before the “baby’s” family contacted
him directly.
But
gratitude had been growing right along. The baby, now 47-year-old Robert Magee, grew up to
be quite the hero himself. By co-organizing
“a large blood drive for the past 18
years,” Magee has “helped save hundreds of
other lives” in the tradition of his own rescue.
What comes
around, goes around. When the karmic wheel
turns slowly, there is all the more opportunity
for good things to evolve.
