Teenager Saves Life Of His Saviour

An American teenager who saved the life of a 'stranger' was shocked to find it was a nurse who did the same for him years earlier.

Kevin Stephan, 17 years old of Buffalo, rushed to perform the Heimlich manoeuvre when he saw a lady choking on her lunch. He did not recognise the woman Ms Penny Brown as the off duty nurse who got his heart beating again after a bat hit him in the chest during a baseball game.

But his mother, who was in the restaurant where it happened, knew exactly who it was and recognized the choking victim as the woman who saved her son�s life back in 1999 following a freak accident.

Kevin Stephan and Penny Brown are still surprised by the unlikely coincidence. "Wow. I couldn't believe it! Everyone I have told is like: 'No way'. They're in total disbelief", Kevin said.

"It's one of those things you can't explain. It was meant to happen. I'm Catholic, and I believe the Lord kind of set things up. They say things happen for a reason, and nothing is a coincidence".

Ms Brown was equally as surprised: "It's almost impossible to believe, but I'm very appreciative of what occurred", she said.

And here's something rather interesting to think about: If she had not saved his life years earlier, he couldn't have saved hers.
