11. Clint Eastwood Saves Man Who Was Choking To Death
Clint Eastwood eh? He's a legendary actor, director and producer. He's also a quick thinking first-aider who saved the life of a pro-golf tournament director last year. Eastwood performed the Heimlich Manoeuvre when he saw that Steve John was choking on a lump of cheese at the AT&T Pebble Beach event in California. Mr John said he couldnt breathe and 'it was as bad as it can get" when the Hollywood hero came to his rescue. Eastwood later told reporters that Mr John had a "look of panic people have when they see their life passing before their eyes". The octogenarian went on to explain: "I gave him three good jolts and that got it out. And then I made him drink a big glass of water with a bunch of lemon squeezed in it." Being able to carry out the manoeuvre was definitely good management rather than luck as it was a moment Eastwood had been preparing for. He was happy to tell the press that he had indeed tried the Heimlich before, on a 'practice' run.
