Heroic Nurse Becomes "Guardian Angel" to Deathly Ill Tourist

Yun Chang Chung's heart stopped twice at the hospital, and he was on life support part of the time the facility's staff cared for him.

"From the very beginning," Lin said, "the doctors, social workers and nurses went the extra mile for him."

The flight was also the final act of devotion for Lin, a 28-year nurse and native of Taiwan, who formed an unusual bond with the man hospital staff called a miracle patient.

"You always try to do your best as a nurse, but this case is so special," Lin said. "We struck a chord."
