Overview
- Surrey Live and the Daily Mirror reported on December 30 that a restaurant diner choking on steak was helped by a viewer who credited Dr Amir Khan’s Loose Women guidance.
- The viewer’s Instagram message said the advice gave them confidence to intervene and that the woman was fine and very grateful.
- Dr Khan reposted the message and praised the bystander, also thanking the Loose Women team for enabling the demonstration.
- On the programme he outlined the steps for adults: encourage coughing, give up to five forceful back blows, then up to five abdominal thrusts, and call 999 if those fail.
- The rescue account is drawn from the Instagram post and media reports and has not been independently verified by emergency services in the coverage.
