Your DC It’s Just Lunch Date is a Hero

Would you ever imagine that a first date could save your life?  Jill didn’t either, but the way this weeks date went between Jack and Jill, had Your Dating Diva saying, “Jill, your DC It’s Just Lunch date is a hero!”

Here’s how it all went down…Jack was meeting Jill for a first date in Alexandria, VA at Clydes of Mark Center.   Jill is in Obstetrics and Jack works for the FBI.

They were having a very pleasant conversation and even better food. Jill was really enjoying Jack’s company and was thinking she may want to see him again.

As she is pondering their next date, Jill takes a bite of her shrimp and begins to choke. Gasping for breath, Jack asks, “Are you ok?” Jill immediately knows she is choking and gives the international sign of choking, placing both hands around her throat.

Jack looked around and noticed that nobody was coming to Jill’s aid.  Jill is still choking, not coughing any longer. Jack, who is well over 6 feet tall, bravely gets up, stands Jill up, get’s behind Jill, makes a fist, and thrusts it in to Jill’s abdomen lifting her upwards.

Flying through the air comes more than one large chunk of shrimp! This was the blockage that was cutting off Jill’s air supply! Jack had saved her life. He was familiar with the Heimlich maneuver from all of his training.

An extremely thankful Jill, was beat red. Not from choking, but from sheer embarrassment. She darted out soon after that. She was just too embarrassed to stick around.

If you are not familiar with steps to perform the Heimlich Maneuver, take a minute to review this entertaining video! You could be the next DC Date Hero!

What do you think of Jill’s actions? Would you have been embarrassed in that situation, or thankful?
