Patrick Dempsey rescues teen who crashed a car on his lawn

4/27/2012

Is saving lesser mortals the new A-list trend, or is Patrick Dempsey just nearing doctor status after seven years of "Grey's Anatomy"? Or maybe Dempsey is just a remarkably good person: Who among us, after seeing a car overturn multiple times and then crash into our front lawn, would think to grab a fire extinguisher and first-aid kit and race outside to help? (Who even HAS a fire extinguisher close at hand?) We'd probably stand screaming hysterically for five solid minutes, but Patrick Dempsey deftly freed the teenage driver of the car and even reportedly asked some very doctor-y questions. The teen driver got a concussion in the accident, but no one suffered any serious injuries.
