There is an apochryphal story that Alexander Fleming saved Churchill's life twice. Once when Fleming was a teenager he was supposed to have saved Churchill from drowning in a Scottish loch and later Fleming's discovery of Penicillin was supposed to have saved Churchill from death by lung infection. Neither story is true.
