Was told one time that the intial reaction of people choking is not to grab their throat but to rush to the bathroom so as not to be embarrassed.
Can now attest to that. Of course the bulging eyes were a key also but no grabbing of the throat.
I can also attest that the heimlick works. If you don't know it, learn it as all first aid. I haven't taken a first aid course in years but it comes back fast when the chips are down.
I sure hope nobody was sitting there wondering why I was following another dude into the bathroom. If someone had walked in at that "magic moment" they would have seen me standing behind some guy bending over him in a very compromising position. Guess I (we) can laugh about it now.
He choked on pork. Had just saw a story that morning about a pro football player that had the same thing happen last week on pork also.
