During the NCC practice, we were jogging for a long time and a girl suddenly fallen down as an arrest. We did not know what to do. At that moment I put her in the recovery position and she came alive and got recovered.

I am Pakathan speaking. I thank ALERT organisation and team ALERT for giving me opportunity to learn first aid. There was a circumstance recently where I applied what I was taught in the training programme. When having non-vegetarian curry food in the afternoon, my father choked on the food that got stuck in the airway and had difficulty breathing.

My family and I went to a restaurant to have food. My one-year-old daughter ate a big piece accidentally, and it got stuck in her throat. She was tearing up from the pain. She raised her hand to call for attention and her breathing was blocked. I lifted her up and placed her in infant choking method upside down.
