Yes Clark I have. I was a cardiac nurse for 14 years and we had Codes regularly on the floor. I have switched gears now though and I manage a hospice. I still am in the business of saving lives as we support the families at the most difficult times in there life. They tell us we are "life savers" and I think that even though we deal with death we are also dealing with life. So, yes, I have saved many lives in one fashion or another. It is and honor and a privilege to work side by side with these brave families as they care for their loved ones. They save our lives in a sense in that they represent to us how much people still care for their family.

Twice. I saved a toddler from falling further down a rocky cliff. We both got a few stitches. Another time, I'd possibly prevented a young girl from certain death through a dramatically high-speed race to the hospital.
I live a very eventful life. (not by choice)

Yes I have, "Boating accident", it got very exciting fast, especially when the coast guard showed up, and asked "ME" for assistance in recovering an injured person in the water (my boat was lower to the water) to get the "Backboard" on the boat, then they escorted me full throttle, lights and sirens to drop the injured party off at a waiting ambulance, it felt great to save a life !

I've saved lots of lives, mostly of my fur friends. Maybe a human life through advice, but nothing so dramatic that I remember it.

Yes, more than once.
and once tried to save a drowning child from a murky canal with another passer-by, and failed...
still sad about that.
have you saved more lives than you took, would be a more challenging question ;-) (not counting FOOD!)

Yes. My own, by changing my attitude towards life.
