Requiescat in pace

I’m all choked up.

[zeestephen]

I hope the Heimlich family has a good sense of humor.

Henry’s death is going to release a tidal wave of inappropriate jokes.

Personally, I’m all choked up about his death.

[Ann Archy]

I got to thank him personally for saving my life VERY early when it first came out. HE asked me to write a letter about the experience for his files.

[Chickensoup]

Hope he didn’t choke....

babooom!

Wretched news

[Sacajaweau]

IIRC, he was living in a senior home. Someone was choking and he FINALLY got to use the maneuver.

Only happened a couple years ago.

[DoughtyOne]

Too bad he couldn’t develop a maneuver to avoid what happened in his 96th year.

It would be interesting to know how many lives his discovery has saved.

[Patriot Babe]

For those who are choked up over his death needs someone caring arms around their waist and give a squeezing HUG.

[Reddy]

He lived a long life and saved many lives.

That we would all be like him.

I performed it on my girlfriend's mother who was choking on a piece of steak. I watched her try to take a drink of water and it flowed out of her mouth like a overfilled drinking glass.

Her sons and daughter were frozen in their seats. She stood up and I performed the maneuver as best as I could remember it (thank you Dr. Frank Fields of Channel 4 in NY) and the obstruction shot out of her throat like champagne popper.

That's one life right saved by Dr. Heimlich.

I’ve done this to someone before. Got that piece of zucchini right out of her windpipe on the first try.

Unfortunately, thousands of Media practitioners of the 0bama Hindlick Maneuver remain alive and actively practising their craft to this day...

[doug from upland]

Bless him. He saved many lives.

[New Jersey Realist]

I hope he didn’t choke to death. RIP.

[Typelouder]

I saved my then 4 year old daughters life years ago using the Heimlich. She had a marble stuck in her airway. I had picked her up in the football hold and smacked her on the back. That didn’t work so I sat her on my knee and with one quick thrust, dislodged the obstruction. She graduates from college in May and gets married in August.

I learned the Heimlich from my Air Force days. It all came right back to me.

[fella]

That fairly simple technique has saved countless lives.

God rest you well, good doctor.

[Az Joe]

I’ll never forget the joke about this.

RIP Mr. Heimlich

[Bellflower]

I’ve used it 4 times so far, so I am thankful for him.

96 years is what I would call a very long life. May Doctor Heimlich RIP.
