After Doug began to choke on his food, Doug went to the auditorium to seek help from Michael who was working inside the area saw that Michael needed help to avoid passing away by giving him the Heimlich maneuver to save his life on the third try. Michael mentioned that he learned how to learn first aid from classes that he took from the CPR class that the college has for the employees to learn how to save lives that is run by Marissa Brandon.
