Doctor Fills in for a Busboy and Saves a Customer's Life

Talk about being in the right place at the right time. A last-minute staffing issue left a local Illinois restaurant in need of a busboy to fill in during the busy holiday weekend .One of the Waitresses had an idea to call her retired father to come in and help. Her dad is Dr. Bill Benge, a retired Harvard-trained cardiologist, who jokes he traded his white coat for a white apron. Well, later that day he put his lab coat back on because there was a real life emergency in the restaurant while he was there busing tables. An elderly customer began choking on her meal and stopped breathing. That's when the doctor jumped into action and cleared her blocked air passage. He wasn't there more than five minutes before he had to help save this woman's life. He says it’s a good reminder that we should all take a moment to learn the Heimlich maneuver because you don’t have to be a doctor to save someone’s life. Good idea.
