Nobody knew how to do the Heimlich maneuver? And nobody attempted CPR?

I thought Heimlich and CPR posters were required to be posted in all facilities that provide food.

This is beyond belief!

Yes, I'm a Red Cross/USAF-trained first aid instructor -- and I know that CPR is basically worth little until Heimlich is used to clear the airway...

I knew how to do both Heimlich and CPR when in high school. We all had to learn it in a Health class that most of us took the freshman year. Of course, I didn't go to school in Indiana. (obviously!)

Wanna bet that government run facilities are exempt from the rule?

Hell, they force the kids to learn CPR in sex ed class in all CT high schools. Must be more weight placed on the SEX in sex ed than useful medical treatments.

Just damn.
