CHOKED BY THE FOOD

For those who have toddler, my friend told me this story.

One day I and my friend were eating satay, then she said how horrified she was when she saw satay which has big cut. ''What happened?'' I asked. ''I remembered my niece who has died because of eating satay.'' she said.

She told further that that time there was a fiest. She remembered her niece running here and there with holding satay in her little hand. Her niece was 4 years old. Afterwards the calamity came, the toddler was choked by a piece of beef satay. Everyone there was trying to help. The toddler was upside down, in other time the toddler was hit on her back until she saw her neck turned to blue, she told with tears in her eyes. However the piece of beef satay didn't come out. Then they looked for a vehicle to bring the toddler to the hospital. In the car, she saw her niece was trying to draw gasps of breath. It was very a heartbreaking moment. Eventually, the toddler died on the way to the hospital as she could not breath at all because of choked.

When arrived in the hospital, the paramedic acknowledged them that to take out a choked food in the throat, just put a straw into the throat then sucked it until the food sticked to the straw then pulled it out. It was as simple as that. Eventually, everyone was crying. Thinking how simple it was to help someone's live who was choked by the food.

How valueable information it is to help one's live ''IF CHOKED BY THE FOOD, SUCK IT OUT BY USING A STRAW.''  Hope it is useful for you.
