A Chisinau man aged 45 choked to death on meat. The tragedy happened only a week after a boy aged 9 suffocated after eating boiled corn. Coordinating doctor at the Chisinau Emergency Hospital Silvia Babara has told Info-Prim Neo that the ambulance was called to an address on Traian Blvd. at about 20.00. It was there in six minutes, but the man was already dead. The doctor said that the first aid is very important in such cases. One should embrace the victim from behind and press sharply the upper part of the abdomen with one palm over the other. The babies and small children must be turned upside down and hit with the palm between the scapulas.
