Heimlich does Heimlich

[TheSportsPredictor]

96 years old and still saving lives ... Dr. Henry Heimlich uses his maneuver to save a fellow nursing-home resident from choking:

Although the headline seems inaccurate, as Heimlich told the BBC he did use it in 2003 to save someone. So he's 2-for-2.

Chatted up his daughter at a houseparty at Mizzou. She had the sexiest SA accent.

That's all I got to say.

Were Heimlich saves an official stat in '03? USA Today also says this is his 1st.

At 96, Heimlich finally uses his life-saving maneuver

The Man Behind the Maneuver

Interesting story from Radiolab about Heimlich. He became kind of a medical kook and the maneuver has come under scrutiny as effective or safe (going off a months old memory of hearing it).

I couldn't find a video clip of it, but Quantum Leap did a great parity of the Heimlich. Scott Baccula was playing a mentality challenged man who saved Heimlich's life by using the maneuver. It was a throw away scene, but quite funny.
