Pretty cool story in the news. I actually used this on one of my own kids many years ago. It's as important as knowing CPR in my opinion.Dr Heimlich saves choking woman with maneuver he inventedDr Henry Heimlich said he had demonstrated the technique many times but never used it in an emergency.His action dislodged a piece of meat with a bone in it from the 87-year-old woman's airway."I didn't know I really could do it until the other day," he told the BBC.Dr
Heimlich was having dinner with eight or nine others at the Deupree
House retirement home in Cincinnati when he turned to talk to a woman at
his table and noticed she was choking."She had a skin colour that was no longer pink. Her mouth was puffed up and her lips were out," he told the BBC.He dashed out of his seat, put his arms around her and pressed on her
abdomen below the rib cage, following his own instructions, which are
displayed on posters required to be displayed in most restaurants in the
United States, although some laws have been discontinued."Though I invented the Heimlich maneuver I had never been called on to do it before." 4951

I've done it once in the hospital. Of course it was a co-worker instead of a patient. 4951

In New Orleans, my wife worked for a ophthalmologist named Dr Rise Ochsner.  Rise was married to one of the sons of Dr. Alton Ochsner, founder of the Ochsner Foundation, Hospital, and Clinic (very big and famous in New Orleans).  Her husband's name was Dr. Mims Gage Ochsner Sr.  He was at a doctors convention and was one of the key speakers in 1985.  They ate steak before the speeches.  Dr. M Gage chocked on a piece of steak.  Instead of indicating that he was chocking, he left the speaker table and went behind some curtains, where he suffocated and died.  The supposition is that he didn't want to make a scene in front of a room full of doctors (any of them probably could have saved him if they only knew he was chocking).  A great, but very sad, reminder to know the Heimlich Maneuver AND be willing to indicate that you are chocking and let someone else perform the maneuver.  There are also some ways you can perform it on yourself, but this is usually not as effective as someone else doing it on you. 4951
