Assist Abroad in Action at ABTOF - 1/5/2008
Whilst returning from the Marseille conference via TGV & Eurostar on Monday, a group of delegates had approx. 2 hrs between trains in Lille and so sat down to enjoy lunch at a brasserie near the station.
During the meal Kimberly Butler (Telegraph Media) started choking on some food and things quickly got panicky as she struggled for breath and started turning very pale.
Unbeknown to Kimberly, the man sitting next to her was Ian Carter who, quick as a flash, performed a combination of back-slaps and well-intentioned abdominal thrusts (Heimlich Manoeuvre) which successfully cleared the airways and restored some calm to the proceedings.
On regaining her composure Kimberly thanked her helper and asked who he was and who he worked for. Ian’s reply ‘Assist Abroad and it’s all part of the service’ seemed highly appropriate. |
