Garrett Brown is a third-grader in a primary school. He and his friends were eating chicken for lunch when classmate Cashton York started to choke(噎住). When he couldn’t breathe, his classmates jumped up to alert a teacher.
Music teacher Jordan Nguyen was on lunch duty that day. She recalled seeing the kids running towards her, but by the time she reached Cashton’s side, the emergency was over. Instead of crying and shouting, Garrett helped his friend.
“Garrett jumped to the other side of the table, went behind Cashton and did a couple thrusts(猛推) of the Heimlich maneuver(海姆利克氏急救法), and it only took about two thrusts and he was able to force out the food,” Jordan recalled. “By the time I reached Cashton, the food had already been forced out and he was breathing again.”
Cashton was taken to the school nurse, but he was fine. After his parents knew about it, the student returned to the dining hall to get a new plate of chicken! At the same time, Jordan and the other staff members were left in a state of shock. “When it was done, we all took a breath and thought, ‘Did that just happen? Was that for real? Did this really just happen?’” said Jordan. “And we had to go back and watch the security footage(监控录像) just to be sure that ‘Oh, that is what happened. Oh, my goodness.’ It was pretty amazing.”
Garrett later revealed that he’d once been choking and his dad saved him. His father then taught him how to save someone else if they needed help. The school plans to add more life skills classes for students in the coming months. They will teach first aid, CPR, and other lifesaving skills so that they can save the day too, just like Garrett!
