- Every so oftenyou'll hear
about someone literally
choking to death on 'a piece
of meat, while others stand
by helplessly, assuming the
victim has had a stroke or
heart attack.
The first sign of choking
is the inability to speak or
make a sound, accompa-
nied by a clutching of the
throat 'or> chest. Shortly
thereafter, the victim will
start to turn blue and lose
consciousness.
One method of helping a
choking victim is to stand
behind him, holding him
with both arms around the
waist, at the belt line or just
above. Grasping your own
r
wrist firmly, squeeze hard,
allowing victim to slump
forward, head and- arms dan-
gling. Pressure below the
diaphraiiii compresses resi-
dual air trapped in the lungs,
and food should pop out, ac-
cording to experts.
If victim is face down,
straddle the buttocks, then
place, both hands, One on top
of the other, just below dia-
phram. and push sharply
towards victim's head. Re-
peat if necessary, taking
care to have someone ready
to scoop. up ejected food,
else it might be inhaled
again.
If victim is face up, strad-
dle the thig1.6 and proceed a

Also, because of a low
profile, you can approach
bigger fish afoot by using
stealth and watching_ for
movements of feeding
