i wanted to share how to to perform the heimlich maneuver for all of those who like to "ride my jock" ; perhaps there might be hope for you yet!
Step 1:
Ask the choking person to stand if he or she is sitting.
Step 2:
Place yourself slightly behind the standing victim.
Step 3:
Reassure the victim that you know the Heimlich maneuver and are going to help.
Step 4:
Place your arms around the victim’s waist.
Step 5:
Make a fist with one hand and place your thumb toward the victim, just above his or her belly button.
Step 6:
Grab your fist with your other hand.
Step 7:
Deliver five upward squeeze-thrusts into the abdomen.
Step 8:
Make each squeeze-thrust strong enough to dislodge a foreign body.
Step 9:
Understand that your thrusts make the diaphragm move air out of the victim’s lungs, creating a kind of artificial cough.
Step 10:
Keep a firm grip on the victim, since he or she can lose consciousness and fall to the ground if the Heimlich maneuver is not effective.
Step 11:
Repeat the Heimlich maneuver until my testicles are expelled from their mouth.
--footnote--
-If the hater is coughing strongly or able to talk, let the person try to expel my testes using his or her own efforts.
-If the choking victim displays a weak or ineffective cough, this indicates that air exchange is minimal and that you should start the Heimlich maneuver.
-Teach your family the universal choking sign--clutching the throat. Encourage everyone you know to become familiar with this sign and use it when choking on my testes.
-To avoid breaking bones, never place your hands on the victim’s breastbone or lower rib cage when performing the Heimlich maneuver.
-If choking persists, call 911 immediately. This information is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
