FLOWOOD, Miss. – (March 30, 2010) – Two employees of Brentwood Behavioral Healthcare of Mississippi, a Psychiatric Solutions, Inc. (PSI) facility, recently jumped into action to save a patient from choking.

Mental health technicians Trisha White and Mitchell Pulley overheard a patient coughing in the cafeteria and soon realized the patient was choking. The pair swiftly took control of the situation and Pulley successfully dislodged the food utilizing the Heimlich maneuver.
“Without their quick response, the patient could have suffered severe medical complications,” said Dr. John Wilkaitis, chief medical officer at Brentwood Behavioral.

Neither White nor Pulley had ever been in a situation like this before where they experienced someone choking. They credit the ongoing training they receive at Brentwood Behavioral Healthcare in being able to quickly assess the situation and properly administer the Heimlich maneuver.

“Brentwood Behavioral Healthcare is committed to ensuring that employees are properly trained and prepared for emergency situations,” said chief executive officer Mike Carney. “Trisha and Mitchell are just two examples of the experienced staff here at Brentwood Behavioral.”
