Kitzhaber, a former emergency room doctor, was on his way to dinner when he spotted a man attempting to revive a woman sprawled on the ground near the roadway in downtown Portland and asked his driver to pull over, said Nkenge Harmon Johnson, Kitzhaber's communications director. He secured her airway and began CPR.&quot; Lt. Rich Chatman, public information officer of Portland Fire and Rescue, said Kitzhaber's action was key to saving the woman, who at last check was conscious and breathing. Fire and rescue responded to the scene and administered additional life-saving techniques on the woman, who had likely gone into cardiac arrest moments before Kitzhaber spotted her.</p><br clear="all"/>
