LEARNING TO THRUST

On December 6, the Rotary Club of Brantford Rotary Sunrise welcomed Todd Pipe from the St. John’s Ambulance to demonstrate what to do if someone is choking. Motivated by a recent close call of one of our members and past president, Kevin Davis, Todd demonstrated the abdominal thrust technique for dislodging obstructions to airways.   While the members of the audience hopes it will never have to use it, they intend to be ready just in case a choking situation were to arise.
