Comment on YSK What to do if someone’s choking: Evidence says begin with back blows

I just read the Wikipedia entry for the Heimlich manuever. Its creator is now seen as a big fraud. So much drama around it.

Heimlich’s son, Peter M. Heimlich, alleges that in August 1974 his father published the first of a series of fraudulent case reports in order to promote the use of abdominal thrusts for near-drowning rescue.
