Brazil. A father experienced moments of genuine terror when his son nearly died from choking after swallowing a small ball of polystyrene while playing at their home in the state of Minas Gerais.

The father, identified as Allysson D, a doctor and university professor, reacted quickly and performed a choking maneuver that allowed the child to expel the object and start breathing again. After saving his son's life, the man broke down in tears due to the stress of the moment.

She's not a very loving wife.
That man needed touch and compassion immediately. She should have grabbed him and the son in a three hug.
He's obviously beside himself. Men don't just fucking sob like this.

Lucky kid, Daddy loves him.

A life or death scenario.

I am so glad I’m not a parent. Never wanted kids and made it through my life without having any. This is a perfect example why.

That is one of the gnarliest videos I've seen on here, and I once watched a man getting skinned alive with no face, hands, tongue, nor feet.. Your son within minutes of dying/brain damaged & you had to jump in. PhuuuuuuuuK

Choking is some very scary shit. My nephew started choking on a French fry when he was little and it truly is a terrifying situation.

Don't know, maybe you can find pics of him and his wife in his instagram account and compare as i hate Instaaaaah. Happened on a Sunday so i guess it's his wife.

Allysson Dângelo de Carvalho decided to share the story on social media after talking to his wife as a way to raise awareness about the importance of first aid.

"It was a mix of feelings. After saving my son, I relaxed and collapsed to the floor." This is the account of Dr. Allysson Dângelo de Carvalho, 45, who had to perform the Heimlich maneuver to help his own son, who choked after putting a styrofoam ball in his mouth.

In the video, after dislodging the object from the throat that Sunday, the doctor can be seen in tears. He told reporters that he was reminded of his father's death, when he had to provide initial care until the arrival of the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU) after his father fell ill.

According to Allysson, the entire situation lasted about 17 seconds , from the moment Francisco (4) began to choke until his airways were cleared.

"It's very important to know the technique for the maneuver. My wife is an electrical engineer, and she herself said that she might not know exactly how to apply the correct force. It's not just about applying force; there's a correct way to perform the procedure," he concluded.

I assume that after it was over, the father instructed the son to "Stop swallowing balls!"
