Have you ever used your First Responder or Medical Training to help some one in a non Military Environment?

I was an Independent Duty Hospital Corpsman returning from a conference, while flying over Arizona, an elderly gentleman went into cardiac arrest. I preformed CPR til we landed in Phoenix. Can you believe that the flight attendant asked to see my credentials?

Had to use the Heimlich on my own son. He started choking one night at the dinner table, stopped breathing turned blue. 2 slaps and 3 thrusts and out came a chunk of hot dog. Thank God for the training and instinct kicking in.

I've done the Heimlich on my son when he was choking on a blueberry. My wife freaked out and I picked him up with one arm and hit his back with the palm of my hand and the blueberry went flying across the room. I also saved an elderly lady in the parking lot of Chili's. The woman had stopped breathing. Her mom was begging people for help and no one knew what to do. My training kicked in, I laid her on the concrete and tilted her head back to open her airway. My wife handed me my med bag from the car and I was about to start giving her breaths, but all of the sudden she started breathing again. Minutes later she was conscious and talking to me. She told me to leave her alone (funny). Soon after that EMTs arrived and took over. A police officer shook my hand and thanked me, and so did the relatives. My wife said she had never seen me like that before. She said I went zombie mode because I didn't talk or anything I just looked very serious and very focused.
