If there is one word to describe Amanda Elementary lead custodian Kim Deaton who used to work as a former emergency worker in Preble County in Ohio used he skills to save the life of fifth grade student Cole Hanson Oliver who was choking on a cheese stick during lunch. Kim used the Heimlich maneuver to get the cheese stick out of his body and save him from dying while eating a piece of food. Cole was taken to a local hospital where he made a full recovery from his near death experience who will be able to return to school when classes resume on Tuesday. One good thing about a person who knows basic first aid skills is that they are very valuable to assist persons who need someone to save them from dying when they choke on food.

That is good that the person was saved by using the Heimlich manoeuvre. I didn’t know that it is called Heimlich first aid for choking.

@Deepizzaguy I only know the name when I read this post. However, I have seen how it is done in a movie that I have watched.
