A Georgia nurse is being praised as a hero after saving a kid's life. The terrifying incident started when a mom was holding her son in a restaurant. Suddenly, her kid put something in his mouth and he started choking. Charis Putmon, a trauma nurse, saw the child's dad dart towards the front door of the restaurant. That's when she sprung into action and started doing the Heimlich maneuver on the choking child. After three sharp thrusts, the object, which was a mint, popped out of his mouth.
