Tonight I went out to eat with my parents, at this local restaurant. Fairly busy and casual atmosphere, it usually is accompanied by people drinking and having a good time too. Tonight was somewhat different though. At the table next to us was a bunch of teenagers, maybe the oldest one being 14 or so (many of them still had middle school varsity jackets on). Anyways they just happened to get their food right before us, and one of them said funny because they were all laughing, except one girl.

She get's up and holds her throat right away, and you could tell she was in a panic. Her friends start to pat her back right away, and that's when I got up. I applied the heimlich on her, and after what seemed like an eternity, whatever she was choking on flew out. I've never been so relieved to hear someone cough and cry... my hands are still shaking...
 
That girl is very lucky that you were there and that you knew the Heimlich. :flower3:
 

You're awesome Kimberly. You gave someone another Christmas!!!
 
Wow, what a great story. I love hearing stories like this with happy endings. Great job!!!
 
I'm glad you were there. :)
 
Good job. You deserve a pat on the back. I'm glad to see your going to med school next year. We need more compasionate Doctors such as yourself!!!
 
Nice job! It isn't too often that an individual can make that huge of a difference in someone's life!
 
Wow - that gave me the chills.
 
Great job!! Congrats on making a difference in someones world.
 
God job!!!!!!

I pulled a baby out of the water when they were in under for a while and in distress a few months ago (I was at the pool with my kids) The baby was right at her mom's feet, but her mom didn't see her. It was split second and took no skill what so ever (unlike knowing the Heimlich.) However I was so glad I spotted her in time.

So glad you were right there. That is very scary. (but with a good ending.) :goodvibes
 
It's important to touch others lives. I'm sure someone is thanking their stars for someone like you.... ;)
