Hi, I'm Dave Ice, founder of StoryCorps.

Support for this podcast and the following message come from Dignity Memorial.

Did you know that a prepaid funeral plan is one of the greatest gifts you can give your family?

Plan your life celebration in advance to protect your loved ones.

For additional information, visit'm Jasmine Morris. Our team is hard at work on the next season right now,

but we thought we'd break our radio silence to once again bring you some of your own stories. As you know each episode we ask a question

and you've all been leaving some amazing answers on our voicemail which by the way is at

702 706, talk.

And something that really resonated with a lot of you

was the prompt,

has someone ever saved your life. Hi there. My name is Whitney Miller and I live in Newbury Park, California. I'm calling in with a story about somebody who saved me. When I was about 32, I had a minor procedure done on my heart and in my recovery I fainted and flatlines. This nurse gave me

CPR for two minutes and brought me back. I remember coming to and grabbing her hands and asking her what she was doing to me.

I spent that night in the ICU. So after I recovered I was able to get in touch with

her and I took her out for a drink and asked her to tell me all the details of what had happened.

But one thing that she said was, I had spent this whole day with you,

listening to you, talk about how you just got married and that you wanted to have kids.

And when you flatlined, all I thought was I just couldn't lose you.

It's been many years now, well over a decade, and I still keep in touch with the nurse who

saved me and she will just forever be my angel.

Thanks for listening.

My name is Renee Kincoff.
