Timely rescue in grocery store
Marianne LaPlante was with her mother at an Aldi grocery store in Howell, N.J. last week when she started feeling unwell and suddenly fell to the ground. When nurse Lisa Manoy saw her convulsing severely on the ground, she stepped in.
There was blood around her head. Although Manoy has not worked as a nurse for years, she checked LaPlante’s vital signs as she went in and out of consciousness.
When LaPlante stopped breathing, Manoy performed CPR on her and Manoy’s daughter helped keep LaPlante’s mother calm. LaPlante was transported to a healthcare facility.
After the incident, LaPlante shared her gratitude on her Facebook page, thanking the stranger who helped save her life.
