A young boy has won praise for an incredible stroke of intuition that helped revive his mother from a diabetic coma. The little boy dialed the phone number printed on the side of his toy ambulance.

Five-year-old Josh Chapman from Telford in Shropshire, England, ran into a scary scene at home on July 28 when he found his mom, Caroline, unconscious on the floor. Caroline Chapman, 41, who suffers from diabetes, had fallen into a hypoglycemic coma, a serious condition but one that is reversible if the patient receives timely medical attention.
