Someone was really looking out for that guy, and it was so great of your Son to jump in like that, and also that he recognized the low sugar condition. Most people would have thought he was drunk or on drugs.
My Son Dan is diabetic, and has had two instances where 911 had to be called as he ran low and was in the 35 range himself. One day he was rigging a guys boat, and luckily the guy knew who I was and called to tell me Dan was laying on the bottom of the boat, non responsive. The guy had hesitated to call me because the thought Dan might have been on drugs............I said "No, he's diabetic !!" I rushed over there and got the EMT's called. It scared the h*** out of me to see Dan like that, he was combative and very close to a coma. Later Dan said he had no warning it was coming on, and the last thing he remembers it was 2 PM, and it was now 4:30. He could have died if that guy hadn't called me, and it scares me to death.
That guy in the crash was so lucky on all counts, and your Son is to be commended for his actions. I have such great respect for the Doctors and Nurses who do this sort of thing day in, day out, and save so many lives.
