I’ve always wondered if the competitive eating contents organizers have dudes who can do the Heimlich Maneuver hanging out on the sidelines. If someones going to choke, its going to happen at one of these events. If they do, I wonder if they draw straws to see who has to do it on the big fella’s. I probably wouldn’t care who I had to give the Heimlich as long as I could get my arms around them. Now, if the person had to get CPR or something, then thats another situation all together.
This brings me to another question though. Why is it called the Heimlich Maneuver? How many other medical procedures have the word maneuver included in their title? Shouldn’t including maneuver in the name be reserved for the military or something requiring strategy or tactics? I bet along time ago some doctor got hacked off over a general calling a military exercise an operation and decided to get even.
