The Heimlich maneuver is a technique used to help somebody who is choking. You’ve seen it a thousand times on TV shows and in movies, and maybe you’ve even seen it in real life. It’s not the recommended way to stop choking anymore because it can cause abdominal bruising, but it’s still an effective way to save a life. I personally would prefer a bruised abdomen over not being alive anymore. The Heimlich maneuver is simple to learn and easy to mimic. It seems like every few months you will hear about some elementary school kid saving a classmate with the Heimlich maneuver. They always say they learned it from watching cartoons. TV saves lives, there’s no denying it.
