Heimlich Queen

My wife showed our staff why we are here yesterday. A kinder was choking at lunch, unable to do any air exchange and my wife did the Heimlich. Most nurses make it through life never doing this. This is the fourth totally obstructed person my wife has saved. God knew what He was doing yesterday and placed the expert here. Parents weren't quite impressed, though.

    Way to go Mr. Nurse's Wife! I wish the parents and teachers understood how dire that situation COULD have been.

    The parents weren't impressed?! Would they have preferred their child choke to death? lol

    My wife is downplaying it, but that was my thought. Not even a thanks for letting us know, just a complaint because we don't have contact info and had to call the grandfather. Rich parents, poor kids.

    I am pretty sure there was a case not too long ago on the news of a child who died because he choked on a carrot at school/day care and no one was trained ?

    Isn't that a requirement?

    Few states mandate nurses in schools. It is an afterthought too often.

    One would think that schools and day cares would have to have at least a few people trained in CPR. It's not expensive or difficult. Very disturbing.

    Totally. And as a parent, I would want to make sure there were people trained in emergencies!
