My Aunt: A Hero

   On New Year's Eve, when everyone from my dad's side of the family gathered together for our Christmas celebration, my aunt, Nancy, shared some with us that just amazed me. Now, before I keep going, I have to say, I'm not sure how accurate this is.
   So, Aunt Nancy was going home from work one day when she decided to get some gas. She didn't even really need it, she was just a little under half a tank. She passed one gas station, deciding that it would probably be cheaper at the next gas station. She then accidentally passed the next one, and, realizing that, decided to go back to the gas station.
   She went and turned at the next corner, intending to go around the block. She noticed a guy sitting slumped over at the side of the road, next to his truck. She felt uneasy about this and continued as planned. But then it was bugging her enough that she went back around the block and stopped by the truck. She rolled down her window and hollered out, asking the man if he was alright. It took a little while, to get an audible, not mumbled answer, but he said that, no, he didn't think he was alright.
   So she got out of her car, asked what she could do to help, and called 9-1-1. She asked several other questions, learning that he had a bad headache, and I think she said he was having trouble breathing. She asked about turning off his truck, which was still running, and he gave the okay. So, she went to turn off the truck, and right there sitting on one of the other seats was this huge dog. Now, I'm pretty sure that she wasn't afraid of the dog, because growing up, they had a HUGE dog named Teddy. But, of course, she had not idea what to do with the dog.
   She went back to the man, and said, probably shocked, maybe stressed, "You have a dog." He was too far gone to even notice. She went back to his truck to get a blanket for him, because, of course, it was cold out there. As you might expect, the dog was on it. She didn't want to make it move, so she returned without the blanket.
   She was really frustrated, as one might expect, because she was able to see the hospital parking lot from where they were, and several people left the hospital (we think they were doctors because it was just the right time for doctors and nurses to be changing shifts), driving right past Aunt Nancy and the man. Not one person even stopped to ask if everything was alright. Just as the ambulance showed up, the man passed out. It took four minutes for the ambulance to get there (Nancy wasn't sure where there was when she called for help).
   She tried to tell the paramedics what he had said about a headache and the breathing, but the man was apparently in so much danger that they didn't even listen. It was so urgent, that they (who you would expect would try to be careful in case of back injuries) just picked him up and "tossed" him into the back of the ambulance and left. Then, speaking with one of the police officers who had arrived at the same time as the ambulance, she told him what she had been trying to tell the paramedics and he called the information in to the hospital. Then she told him about the dog and he called someone in to take care of the dog (I think maybe he was from the canine unit or something). They took care of the car also, and she gave the officer her name, phone number, etc.
   After the fact, she received a "citizen" award from the city. She has also received several calls. One was from the police officer. He said that the man had had a brain aneurysm. He said that the only other time he (or it might have been the paramedics) have seen someone brain aneurysm, he died fairly quickly (meaning in one of two minutes). Ashe also has received several calls and updates from the man's wife; He was airlifted to the cities (I think) and is now doing fine. His wife is so grateful to Nancy for saving his life. Because she missed the gas station and decided to turn around and stop at that gas station rather than just going on to the next one, that man is alive today. All I can say is, this had to be a God-thing.
