Comment on YSK What to do if someone’s choking: Evidence says begin with back blows
thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 4 days agoI had to wait 45 minutes for an ambulance when I thought I was about to die. You’ll fall unconscious within 5 minutes. Die within the next 5. Even if you manage to make the call, they won’t know what the hell is wrong with you because you can’t talk. Learning to save yourself in that situation is extremely important, because actual first responders won’t make it there on time.
