Subject: RE: Boy chokes on popcorn at movie theater and dies
Sometimes it is very hard to clear the airway... especially with things
like popcorn, not slick like a piece of meat or fruit. I remember almost
choking to death in college. Just enjoying a nice monday night football
game with ym buddy while I was on duty (RA) and we ordered a pizza. Got
a piece of crust stuck in my throat and couldn't breathe AT ALL! About
20 seconds into the ordeal I had enough pressure in my stomach to force
it up, but it was not pretty; I gouged the linig of my throat and it
bled for hours... and it hurt like hell... not too mention how scary
that is. My buddy reamined calm and kept me calm, we knew what to do...
fortunately, he didn't have to assist other than keeping me calm.
