Seventeen-year-old Rivertown teenager, John Janson,
was honoured at the Lifesaver Awards last night for carrying out lifesaving
first aid on his neighbour after a shocking knife 36 .
John was presented with his award
at a ceremony which recognized the 37 of the ten people who
have saved the life of others.
John had been studying in his room
when he heard 38 . When he and his father rushed outside,
they 39 that Anne Slade, mother of
three, had been stabbed(刺) 40 with a knife by her ex-boyfriend(前男友). The man ran from the 41 and
left Ms Slade lying in her front garden 42 very
heavily. Her hands had almost been cut off.
It was John’s quick 43
and knowledge of first aid that saved Ms Slade’s life. He immediately
asked a number of the 44 people for
bandages(绷带), but when nobody could put their hands on
anything, his father got some tea towels(毛巾)and 45
from their house. John used these to dress the most severe 46
to Ms Slade’s hands. He slowed the bleeding by applying pressure to
the wounds until the 47 and ambulance arrived.
“I’m 48
of what I did but I was just doing what I had been 49
,” John said.
John had taken part in the Young Lifesaver Scheme at
his high school. When 50 John, Mr Alan
Southerton, Director of the Young Lifesaver Scheme, said, “ 51
is no doubt that John’s quick thinking and the first aid 52 that
he had learned at school saved Ms Slade’s life. It shows that a simple knowledge
of the first aid can make a real 53 .”
John and the nine other lifesavers
also attended a 54 reception yesterday
hosted by the Prime Minister before 55 their
awards last night.
