I have a muscle dystrophy that effects my swallowing so I can choke on like a single grain of rice the amount of time j almost choked on shit is insane. It was embarrassing at first and now I just hope somebody is around so I don't die from a single grain of rice

That’s very cool but dang why does it cost $140 to save your life lol

u/Verittan 1d ago
It is expensive but it is a Made in the USA, FDA Registered, medical device. $140 isn't much in the long run and that price is little if it meant saving my own or another's life.

admittedly it looked like the person with the R jacket was going to try to help but the bartender took over before they had a chance to process what was going on

My friend and I were at a bar where a girl started choking and by the time the bartender got there she was able to get whatever it was out by puking on the floor. We felt so bad for her and kept telling her not to be embarrassed, that we were all relieved she was okay but she got a box for her food and the bill shortly after and bounced. I can see how it’s embarrassing but I’d rather that than die at a random pub.

That would be so embarrassing. I could literally never go to that bar again

That's how most people die from choking. They feel embarrassed and go to the restroom instead of seeking help.

At an old job one of our clients checked in at the receptionist. She told me after the fact that he was a little unsteady on his feet and was clutching his chest. He said he wasn’t feeling well so he went into the men’s room to collect himself.
I came across him about 30 minutes later when I went into the restroom. He was sprawled on the floor in one of the stalls. He had passed away.

That certainly reads more like a heart attack… although I get your point about not seeking help…

Used to work in a diner with government assisted old folks apartments upstairs. One day a guy came in real shaky and slow, left his things on his table and went towards the bathroom. He made it just around the corner when he collapsed and turned purple. My boss resuscitated him. Ambulance came and took him to the hospital. His visiting family still had breakfast as they wheeled him out. I wish they didn't.

Almost dying is embarrassing? I think it's metal, especially if you don't die.

Almost dying of not chewing my food properly is pretty embarrassing

u/Ancient_Confusion237 2d ago
Actually dying because you're too proud to ask for help after a mistake is even more embarrassing.
People can choke for heaps of reasons beyond not chewing properly, especially when alcohol is involved.

u/Extreme_Design6936 2d ago
Yeah but if I died from choking I definitely wouldn't be going back to that bar again.

Shit happens. If you haven’t noticed, your body is made of human and other bits. Those bits can be quite fallible, being made of flesh and other mostly organic stuff. And the design principle behind the bits have been “throwing stuff at the wall and see what survives”

I would go to that bar as long as that bartender would be working there, literally

In case you ever find yourself in this situation, recent research has changed things a bit -- back blows are generally recommended to be tried before abdominal thrusts according to most standards, as they tend to be safer.
You can find more information here: American Red Cross

Thanks for sharing!
To give back blows:
- Position yourself to the side and slightly behind the person. For a small child, you may need to kneel behind them.
- Place one arm diagonally across their chest.
- Bend them forward at the waist so the upper body is parallel to the ground.
- Firmly strike them between the shoulder blades 5 times with the heel of the hand.
- Have each back blow be separate from the others.
How do I give abdominal thrusts?
- Have the person stand up straight.
- Find their navel with two fingers.
- Move behind them; place your front foot in between their feet, bending your knees slightly. For a small child, you may need to kneel behind them.
- Make a fist with your other hand.
- Place the thumb side against their stomach, above your fingers.
- Take your first hand and cover your fist with it.
- Pull inward and upward 5 times.
- Make each abdominal thrust forceful and separate from the other.

He didn’t even hesitate to respond. This is one of the best instincts humans can have in this day and age.
