Governor Performs CPR On Woman Who May Have OD'd

DETROIT (97.1 THE TICKET) - The Governor of Oregon performed CPR on a woman who may have OD'd on heroin the other night.

This isn't the first time the medically trained Gov.  John Kitzhaber has come to the aid of someone in medical need.

According to CNN during a gubernatorial debate in 2010, someone in the audience suffered a heart seizure.
The debate was interrupted for about 20 minutes as Kitzhaber rushed down the aisle and tended to the man -- making sure his airways were clear and he was breathing -- until medics arrived.

In 2005, Kitzhaber ran after an intruder and trapped him in a revolving door.

This guy is Super Gov!

Have you ever had to perform CPR or have it performed on you?
