A doctor performed the Heimlich manoeuvre to save a boy choking on food in eastern China.

CCTV footage filmed in the city of Quzhou in Zhejiang Province on November 25 shows a woman named Lu running into a clinic with her choking 10-month-old son in her arms.

A doctor, named locally as Shu Qunfang, runs to the boy and places his head downwards and pats his back continuously.

The boy then cries. He eventually spits something out.

According to Lu, her son was eating on the back of her electric scooter when she turned round to discover that he could not move.

Lu later sent a message to thank Shu for saving her son.

11月25日15点，浙江衢州，卢女士抱着自己18个月大的儿子，神情焦急地来到了衢州兴华苑如意社区卫生服务站。
卫生服务站内突然响起的呼救声，被正在二楼的舒群芳医师听到了，于是她迅速的跑下了楼。发现小孩嘴唇和脸色发青，呼吸微弱。
舒群芳介绍：我就一看他是窒息的，我就问那个小孩妈妈了，我说是怎么了，她说刚好吃了一个馒头，那就不用考虑了，肯定是面包呛到了，那我就用“海姆立克急救法”马上给他急救了
在急救过程中，舒群芳医师将小孩的脸朝下，使其头部低于胸部，单手托着小孩的头部，用力拍其后背。
舒群芳介绍：他牙关紧闭了，那我就是给他很有意识的给他扣开，在后背这里一直在敲，那他马上就哭了，就出来一小块东西。
五分钟后，小孩的嘴唇和脸色逐渐转为红润。看着小孩转危为安，舒群芳医师和在场人员终于长舒了一口气。
男孩妈妈卢女士介绍：当时他是坐电瓶车上前面，我前面给他吃了个馒头，因为他肺炎刚出院，走到一半的时候，我突然发现他歪了，已经不动了，我赶紧问他，我说宝宝坐直坐直，然后我们赶紧抱下一看，结果是已经僵硬了。
事后，市民卢女士将一面写有“白衣天使舒医生 救命之恩永难忘”的锦旗，送到社区医师舒群芳手中，以感谢其救命之恩。
