CPR saves lives!! ⛑🫀💪❤

Mother-of-three Lisa says she wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the lifesaving heroics of our colleague Lauren who carried out CPR on her for 15 minutes after she collapsed in our Tranent store with a brain aneurysm.

Section leader Lauren, who's a trained first aider, was just about to leave at the end of her shift when she got the call to help. After her colleague Brodie called 999, Lauren followed the operator's instructions to the letter until paramedics arrived. Lisa was taken by ambulance to Western General Hospital where she had an emergency operation. She was allowed home after two weeks and is making such a good recovery that she called in at the store to say a socially-distanced thank you to Lauren. Lisa said: "What Lauren did for me that day was simply amazing. She definitely saved my life and I can't thank her enough." Lauren said: "At the time I was just totally focussed on what I was doing. I was just saying to myself 'keep going, keep going' so I could save her. It was probably the most terrifying experience I've ever had in my life. Knowing now that she is okay is an incredible feeling, it really is." Read their story here: https://bit.ly/3lH4o5j
