First aid update

Think you know what to do if you see someone who's choking?

Think again.

A story published in the Dec. 19 edition of The Citizen told the story of a diner at Lasca's who lost consciousness when a piece of food became lodged in his throat. His breathing and blood pressure were then restored by a local doctor and nurse who dually performed CPR. Prior to the doctor's intervention, fellow patrons at the restaurant had attempted to remove the food by using the Heimlich maneuver.
