36、oviding first aid One morning, David was working at his home office while watching his infant daughter Jane who was crawling on the floor. Suddenly, he noticed that she had picked something up and put it in her mouth. Then she began to move like she was struggling. He quickly jumped from his chair a
37、nd ran over and picked her up. Going back to his chair, he held her in his lap and saw that she was still struggling with a frightened look on her face. However, she was not crying or making a sound. He carefully opened her mouth to see if there was obstruction. Not finding anything, he then gave he
38、r a few hard slaps on her back. It worked! Within seconds a small button fell from her mouth onto the floor, and she was breathing once again. Thanks to Davids quick thinking, Jane was saved. David now teaches life-saving techniques at the local college, and he uses this story to impress upon students the need for quick action. “When seconds count,” he said, “an ambulance is often minutes away.”sampleThank You!
