COLUMBUS, OH An elementary school teacher has a knack for saving lives, and it s catching on. Brandi Slauter has been called a Heimlich hero for her repeated efforts to save students at Easthaven Elementary School from choking.
Slauter was in the right place at the right time yet again recently to help 9-year-old Kyree Isles dislodge an orange that got stuck in his throat during lunch, WBNS reported. I start with my fruit, and so when I was eating my orange, like a piece of orange got stuck in my throat, and I couldn t get it out, the third-grader told the news station. I couldn t breathe, and so I went to walk up to my teacher. She did the Heimlich.
