Girl uses ‘Hunger Games’ to rescue injured friend

GLOUCESTER, Massachusetts: A 12-year-old Massachusetts girl used what she learned about creating a tourniquet from “The Hunger Games” to rescue her friend. The Gloucester Times reported Mackenzie George was playing in a Gloucester marsh with friends when she slipped and cut her calf open. Megan Gething jumped in to action and tied a pair of shorts around her friend’s leg to slow blood loss, using a tip she learned from the young-adult science fiction novels. Megan said all that was going through her mind was helping “Kenzie.” The injured girl was transported to a hospital, where doctors were able to rule out muscle or nerve damage following surgery. The Georges said they are thankful for Megan’s help.
