Erin Sass

My neighbor was stung by a bee and went into anaphylactic shock and collapsed on their kitchen floor. His wife had their 3 daughters run over to our house to get me because I am a nurse. My husband called 911 and I did CPR for about 5 minutes before paramedics arrived. His wife and oldest daughter both stayed and I encouraged them to keep talking to him. We all played a vital role in helping save their husband & father! It was a team effort with a very happy ending and now an epi-pen! 😊

Awesome work Erin! Way to keep calm under pressure!
