Bartender saves the life of a choking victim in Wisconsin

Tweet

Ashton Hoffhein who is a 20 year old man is grateful that bartender Joseph Reinhart came to save him from passing away inside of a bar in Wisconsin earlier this week. Ashton was eating a chicken sandwich when the meal went down the wrong way when he asked for help. Joseph took action to use the Heimlich maneuver to save Ashton from a tragic end. Even though Joseph did save Ashton from death, Joesph admitted that he used the Heimlich maneuver for the first time despite the fact that he has no previous experience or training on first aid classes before he saved the life of Ashton. The error that Joseph did was placing his arms on Ashton's chest instead of around his waist and lifting off of the ground to get the chicken sandwich out of his mouth so he could breathe again. Nevertheless Joseph did what he could to save the life of Ashton. A save is a save in life even if it is not the perfect way to use the lifesaving maneuver.
