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.

On June 20, 2023, during my visit to Mt.Titlis, Switzerland, I was walking on a heavy iron hanging bridge on the top of the mountain at 10,000 feet. Midway through the bridge, I saw some heavy blood stains on the steel rods. Just about a 100 mts away, I could see a young Chinese lady who seemed to be a bit mentally challenged, bleeding profusely from her knees and with some bruises on both her palms.
