16 Year Old Boy Saves Old Man Using First Aid

A video posted by @goodnews_movement posted a video which featured a 16-year-old intern from a restaurant. The video went viral on the internet for the young boy’s presence of mind. 

In the video, an elderly man is suddenly seen in distress as he chokes on the food he was eating. He is seen struggling to breathe and standing up from his chair. The young intern who was standing behind the counter runs out to the old man. 

He tries to help the old man by patting his back. When he realizes that patting is not helping, he performs the Heimlich maneuver. It is a first aid technique in which the upper airway obstructions are cleared with abdominal thrusts.
