How does doing a chest compression from behind cause the broach to be dislodged from the throat? The Heimlich maneuver should be done below the rib cage with a quick in and upward motion.
It is a literal life saving technique. My son runs a before and after school child care center and keeps his first aid training updated….good thing too.
He used the Heimlich to save a child’s life just last month when a piece of apple lodged in her airway.
Well if you want to get really medical about it…if Slim was choking and his away was blocked, he wouldn’t be going Gaff…choke…(etc.)—he wouldn’t be able to make any sounds at all. He’d just quietly turn blue and maybe head for the bathroom. Hopefully he’d remember to raise his arms as the signal of distress.
First question is are you all right? Can you breathe? If they shake their head no, then go for it. Yes it can be done from behind, no, not that high, probably not on Slim, and certainly not by someone my size whose arms would never reach around him….

Joe Palooka? Looks like Skeezix (about 30 years younger)

ERK GLOCK? Not ERK SMITH & WESSON, or ERK HECKLER & KOCH?

I thought it was Skeezix at first, too, but decided it was Joe Palooka.

Only Palooka or Popeye would be strong enough for the feat…

Good ending to this arc. This is the end, right?
