Dr. Heimlich, 96-years old and a nursing home resident was able to use the technique he invented for the first time and add another life saved to the countless other choking victims still alive today thanks to him.

Heimlich is the uncle of Anson Williams, “Potsie” on “Happy Days”.

That’s what I call “full circle”.

My sister used the Heimlich maneuver and saved me from choking on a piece of turkey. It’s a horrible feeling. I thought I was a goner. My brother was sitting next to me and kept saying, “Are you OK? Are you OK?”

I read this story earlier today. This man’s technique has saved untold numbers of lives. It is an elegant bookend to his life that he got to perform it on another.

I had to do the Heimlich on my son once. To this day, he will not eat the food that he choked on.

I saved my six year old son when he chose to swallow a slice of hot dog whole. I saw it happen, saw the classic hand to the throat and wide open mouth and asked him if he could breathe. He shook his head no, and I popped him off his chair, asked him again then did the move. The hot dog shot across the room. It was all over before Mr G even realized what happened.
Scared the spit out of me, and I made sure all baby sitters knew how to do it from then on.

I got to thank Dr. Heimlich personally because my sister had to do the maneuver on me.......it was BRAND NEW, so he asked me to write him a letter detailing it for his files....I did!
