have you ever saved any body?

Last year when my partner Cathy swallowed her tongue. That was unpleasant and very worrying. Before that I 'saved' a housemate from suicide a couple of times, although she was never particularly grateful.

Well I won't go into specifics about a private matter, but suffice to say Cathy was in a very bad place and was in the middle of a panic attack/fit and started choking. I checked her mouth for an obstruction and her tongue had gone backwards and was blocking her airway. That was very distressing but I did the blindingly obvious: stay calm, unblock the airway and lay her on her side to recover. Not pleasant for her either.
 
I have saved a number of people, but not in the way that you may have in mind here. I have saved some from the clutches of religious belief-system brainwashing--something which happens all over the world, most unfortunately.

As far as saving someone in the sense that you may be looking for, only once...or twice? (for all I know) In a rock climbing situation, I talked a stuck and beginning to panic climbing member out of it, and into safety. I talked ( and physically prevented) my previous wife (a Japanese national too) from going out into the streets of Detroit, Michigan (USA) one night, to find a person who had stole her jewelry box. ( a long story otherwise, but it did happen...and I did prevent her from going out there...although it took half the night)
 
Once a woman took her babycarthingy (that thing you put a baby in to push in front of you) up the elevatorstairs ...she lost grip and it came down...so I was able to catch it and safe the baby from disaster.
 
i saved three people from drowning all on different events ......two were children...

i have worked as a medic back at Israeli war...so i helped a bunch...
