Watching ‘The Office’ Can Save Lives

It’s official… The Office is the BEST TV SHOW OF ALL TIME.

I mean, it’s at least in the top 100, right?

There hasn’t been a new episode of The Office in 5 years, though their rerun game is still going strong. Do you remember the episode where the gang lears to do CPR with a tip of doing compressions to the beat of the Bee Gees “Stayin’ Alive,” because there’s a college student who sure does.

18 year old Natalie Belsito, a student at Central Michigan University, came across a squirrel that fell in a fountain, and stopped breathing. Natalie sprung into action and starting giving the squirrel CPR, the way she learned how from that life saving episode of The Office.

Natalie says she was singing “Stayin’ Alive” out loud while doing compressions, as seen on the office, not knowing if they’d actually work. But, they DID WORK, and Natalie then took the squirrel to her dorm room to heat it up and get its core temperature back up.

A couple hours later, she released the squirrel back to the wild.

(See Mom & Dad, watching television CAN save lives.)
