George Bush choked on a pretzel in Jan 2002.

In year 2002, George's twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara, sent him a big bag of pretzels for Superbowl. And quite unfortunately, while George was munching on his pretzels, he got choked and fainted. But then, George was lucky enough to have subconsciously performed an impromptu Heimlich maneuver onto himself upon his own falling over his belly. Following his fall on his face, he fell on his abdomen and that forced the pretzel blocking his airway out of his throat.


Hmm. The Heimlich maneuver is an emergency technique for preventing suffocation when a person's airway becomes blocked by a piece of food or other object. So cuteeeee rite. It interests me right away, especially when the doctor in-charge relates it to the Bush's pretzel incident. If it wasn't for the accidental Heimlich maneuver, Bush could have choked himself out. And died.


Hehe.


And yea, i still remember the look the doctor gave me when i volunteered to answer to his question regarding the correct spelling for Heimlich maneuver. 'H-a-m-l-i-c-k' The doctor's face crumpled immediately once he heard me. Then he knotted both his brows together and said, 'make sure you go back and google it.'


And i did as he said. Heimlich not Hamlick. Now i know.
