My <1 year old nephew nearly choked to death on a nerf dart. He briefly went unresponsive before the ambulance got there and would probably be dead if both his parents didn’t have medical training.

So I guess it’s not ruined in that he’s still alive and probably okay (still waiting to see if he aspirated anything), but it’s not how you want to spend Christmas! Especially the older siblings watching all this happen.

Wow I'm super glad he's ok. That could have been so so so much worse

Imagine killing someone with a nerf gun. That's gotta be a record!

im cpr certified and technically have the knowledge to "save" a choking person as i work a "safety job". i often wonder if id actually be able to do it in a real situation. shits scary i hope kiddos ok.

The doctors gave him the all clear!

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

You would.

Instincts kick in and you just do without thinking.

Whew, glad they saved him! Reminds me I used to tell friends with children or that live alone they should have a LifeVac in their home medical kit. Under 100 bucks.

Thanks! I didn't know this existed.
