The (Mini) Good Doctor

Some people believe kids these days spend too much time glued to their screens.
- For seven-year-old David Diaz Jr., however, watching TV helped him save a life.
🦸🏻♂️ Little hero... It was lunchtime at Woodrow Wilson Elementary in Binghamton, NY, when David noticed one of his classmates choking on his food.
- With no teachers close by in the cafeteria, David sprang up and began performing the Heimlich maneuver on his friend, a skill David later said he learned while watching the ABC medical drama The Good Doctor with his dad.
"If anybody is choking or is in danger, you always have to save them," said David. "If you don't, then that could be really sad."
For his efforts, the second grader was honored with the New York State Senate Commendation Award.
