On December 9, 2021, a school student in Muskogee, Oklahoma
was trying to remove the lid from his water bottle with his teeth. The cap
slipped and became lodged in the student’s throat, choking him. Eleven-year-old
Davyon Johnson, who wants to become an EMT someday, performed the Heimlich maneuver,
which he’d learned on YouTube. “I burped him, kind of,” said Davyon. The cap
popped right out. Later in the evening ON THE SAME DAY, the sixth-grader was on
his way home when he happened upon a house fire. The back of the house was
burning, and a disabled woman was trying to get off her front porch. Davyon
helped her down and into her truck. The Muskogee Police Department, Sheriff’s
Office and school board awarded Davyon for his heroism. The sad thing is, no matter
how long this kid lives, he’ll probably never top his accomplishments on a single day back in the sixth grade.
