JAG Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 If I remember my first aid training, one of the first actions in treating an unconscious/collapsed casualty is to loosen items of tight clothing. Should keep 'em busy in a police station! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussieroaming Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 The victim probably wouldnt have vomited if the police officer hadn't started using his tongue while giving him the kiss of life. Well done to all those that helped the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to all those that helped the man. I gave CPR back in England. Unsuccessfully I'm sorry to say. I retched after as well. Removing a mans dentures and applying mouth to mouth is not the most pleasant experience, but if it's successful it's well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
