Jasmine Ashley, Heimlich Hero

August 22nd, 2004

I had a serious choking episode today at sunday dinner with my wife’s family. I was probably only a few seconds from losing consciousness when my 11-year-old daughter Jasmine came to my rescue and used the Heimlich manoeuvre on me, dislodging the chunk of roast beef from my windpipe.

I’m very proud of Jasmine for recognizing the problem, knowing exactly what to do, and stepping right in to deal with it.

I was surprised that a kid of her size could effectively perform the manoeuvre on her 6-ft 230-pound dad. Take my advice – learn about choking and how to deal with it, no matter how old you are.
