One recent first aid story I heard was about a man who had a heart attack in a shopping mall. A bystander who knew CPR immediately started performing it. Thanks to that quick action, the man's heart started beating regularly again by the time the paramedics arrived. Another story was a child choking on a small toy at a daycare. The daycare worker used the Heimlich maneuver and dislodged the toy, saving the child from serious harm. And there was also a case where a cyclist got into an accident and had a deep cut on his leg. A passer - by used a clean cloth as a makeshift bandage to stop the bleeding until the ambulance came.
I know of a recent first aid situation where an elderly man slipped and fell in his driveway. His neighbor rushed over and saw that he had a head injury. The neighbor applied pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding and then called 911. Another story is about a young athlete who got a severe cramp during a game. The coach immediately massaged the cramped muscle and gave the athlete some electrolyte - rich water. This helped relieve the cramp quickly. There was also a case where a person got stung by a bee and had an allergic reaction. A friend used an epinephrine auto - injector they had on hand to stop the reaction until medical help arrived.
A recent first aid story involved a woman who fainted in the street. A nurse who happened to be nearby quickly checked her vital signs and made sure she was in a safe position. She then gently patted the woman's face to try and rouse her. After a few minutes, the woman regained consciousness. In another instance, a construction worker got a piece of debris in his eye. His co - worker carefully flushed the eye with clean water from a bottle until the debris was removed. There was also a story of a hiker who sprained his ankle on a trail. His friend used two sticks and some cloth to make a splint to immobilize the ankle until they could get help.

I've heard of a case where an elderly guest had some breathing difficulties while waiting in line for a ride. The Disney first aid personnel were alerted immediately. They brought oxygen equipment and a stretcher just in case. They monitored the guest's vital signs, helped them relax, and once the guest was feeling a bit better, they escorted the guest to a quiet area where they could rest and fully recover. Disney's first aid teams are always well - prepared to handle various situations.
