We almost lost a band mate to a Bok Choy incident today, the person who wishes to remain anonymous was seen enjoying a plate of sizzling chicken and cashews at an infamous eatery in Chinatown when suddenly a "stem of the bok choy" was breathed into either her windpipe or lung.
What would happen if it was inhaled into her lung?
Any suggestions on how to remove this foreign body?

I think ANON should concentrate on blowing on her food first, that way anything slippery would have less chance of slipping down the wrong pipe suddenly. Maybe if it was drier, it could have wedged in the back of the throat and easily been pulled out with some chop sticks  |

Hmmm... I am not sure how blowing on her food would have helped.. but I have been told by an outside source that if a piece of bok choy was inhaled into the windpipe, you would start choking immediately and be in excruciating pain... especially if the bok choy was hot....

 Well..never fear, Doctor Sophie to the rescue....Hmmm, now, this could have been a very serious event.....If the worst came to the worst, and the person involved actually became unconscious, I would have helped by performing an emergency tracheostomy. This where surgically, you create an opening in the neck which allows direct access to the trachea (the breathing tube). It is maintained open with a hollow tube called a tracheostomy tube. My mother actually showed me how to do it once....of course, it is best performed under anaesthetic, but in an emergency....such as in a China Town food court, I would reach for a straw or, into my bag for a pen (remove the ink first you numbskull) and jab it on through her neck. The person should then have a clear air passage to breathe. If they don't, you know you have stuffed up.

She'd probably kick 'em in the head to render him unconscious. |

Mattheuu, you doubt me so my friend. I am actually fully equipt with my St Johns Certificate, so if I did happen to catch you choking, I would probably perform the heinlich manouver before I took to you with hollow plastic objects, but, as I said...if the worst happened, your thoat would be my canvass.

Does the certificate come with a nurse's uniform? I truly hope so!
