I think that a lot of restaurants are training their employees on first aid drills to deal with customers who choke on their food.

@RubyHawk It is important for every company to make first aid training part of the company mission.

I did that to my mother once. I just couldn't imagine what would have happened if I wasn't there. My aunts were there but had no clue what to do.

I know what you mean since the shock of seeing someone choking of food can cause a person to be scared stiff.

That is a problem many of us have that we are scared to assist someone who need help for fear of failure.

I believe that the majority of employers in the U S require their employers to take first aid training.

Danielle used her training in life saving techniques perfectly to save the life of a customer. That is the act of a heroine.
