An area man took being a good neighbor to a whole new level. He helped save his neighbor's life when he had a heart attack.
You've heard of a showstopper…Well, some say the Victoria's Secret runway show in December may have been a heart stopper. Lynndell Haugen was doing dishes and getting ready to watch the lingerie runway show when he collapsed. His wife called his neighbor, Griffin Offerdahl, who is also a volunteer firefighter in davenport, North Dakota. Today his quick action was recognized by F-M ambulance.
Lynndell Haugen: "He's the best, even before this he's the best. I wouldn't want anyone else there. My wife and griffin were great. They got me going again." Griffin Offerdahl: "It was automatic to do it. I was thankful I had the training to do CPR."
Offerdahl had just completed his CPR re-certification the night before his neighbor had the heart attack, so it was fresh in his mind. Offerdahl says knowing his fellow first responders were on their way made him more confident in what he was doing. And it all worked all well. Haugen is doing well. So you may wonder if Lynndell is allowed to watch anymore runway shows? He says he will have to clear that through his wife. He says he really doesn't even remember anything from the last show, since his heart attack happened early in the show. Copyright 2008 by Valley News Live
