The nurses "instinct"

Not too long ago a couple of local area (my home town) nurses saved the lives of 5 people. Not so unusally you may say? Well, using their keen instincts and knowledge about poisonous substances (in this acse carbon monoxide), they noted that the patient they were caring for in hospital (acutely ill in the ER) lived with 5 other people. With little hesitation they had emergency vehicles dispatched to the patients home immediately. There were indeed 5 people in the home who were in need of immediate assistance. Thanks to their instincts, and not fearing to act on them, they were heros (atleast in my eyes).
But how many other peole recognize them as such? Not enough!
