Dr Heimlich Saves Choking Woman With Manoeuvre He Invented
BBC
The 96-year-old American inventor of the Heimlich manoeuvre has used the technique himself to save a choking woman at his retirement home.
Dr Henry Heimlich said he had demonstrated the technique many times but never used it in an emergency.
His action dislodged a piece of meat with a bone in it from the 87-year-old woman’s airway.
“I didn’t know I really could do it until the other day,” he told the BBC.
