Imagine getting saved by Dr. McDreamy, except in real life.

Patrick Dempsey proved to be another celeb that is not afraid of getting in the face of danger if it means helping a fellow citizen, which proves that not only is he that much sexier, he's a good person (which is more important, obvs).

So what happened?

Dempsey helped a young guy get out of a crashed vehicle!

Shawn Ryan, a showrunner for The Shield, tweeted, "True Story: Grey's Anatomy actor Patrick Dempsey pulled my friend's son out of overturned car after bad accident on Tuesday. #GoodDude"

Good dude, indeed.

When the TV doctor isn't saving lives, he's losing his own.

Dempsey was a victim of a Twitter death hoax recently after "RIP Patrick Dempsey" quickly became a top trending topic, but he quickly put us at ease when he tweeted, "Hi I am back From the dead!"

Thank goodness.
