The Heimlich maneuver is an emergency procedure for removing a foreign object lodged in the airway that is preventing a person from breathing...:)

Except you can't call it that anymore - Henry Heimlich's son Peter has brought his father's research practices into disrepute, and the maneuver is now called the Abdominal Thrust (an unfortunate description, IMHO.)

Interesting tidbit of the day :)

Thanks for that info C-dot...:eek: It looks like his associate Dr. Edward Patrick also claimed he was a co-developer of the maneuver in 2003.

In any case, whatever it is called, if I need one I do not care what it is called as long as I can find an elephant who knows what he is doing...........:p

Just a reminder of what Irene actually looked like. She was a classy lady with a great sense of humour!
