IF YOU ARE GOING TO CHOKE ON FOOD TRY TO SIT NEAR A REPUBLICAN POLITICIAN REPUBLICANS AND THE HEIMLICH MANEUVER
What do John Sununu, Mike Huckabee and the Heimlich Maneuver have in common? If you are going to choke on some food it might help to be in the vicinity of a Republican politician. The Heimlich Maneuver has had some controversy in recent years. Yet it seems that every day you read about someone saving a choking friend by performing the Heimlich maneuver. "Mike Huckabee did more than just give a speech at the North Carolina Republican Party convention. He also may have saved a life. North Carolina GOP spokesman Brent Woodcox says the former Arkansas governor did the Heimlich maneuver on Robert Pittenger, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, at a lunch before Huckabee gave his speech Saturday".
This sounds a lot like like this story. "When a piece of chicken got stuck in journalist Al Hunt's windpipe Friday night, Sen. John Sununu came to the rescue. "John was terrific," said Hunt, 65, executive editor for Washington at Bloomberg News. "He quickly jumped up, put his arms around me, did the Heimlich Maneuver. Within about two seconds, it came out."
There has been controversy in recent years about abdominal thrusts and in what situations to use the Heimlich Maneuver. But it seems that every day you read stories like the one about the senator saving a choking victim or a child saving a friend or sibling who is choking on a piece of a toy or food. It would probably be a good idea to familiarize yourself with how to do the Heimlich Maneuver as well as visit the web site of the Red Cross.
