lived and worked. The doctor came immediately (it was about 11 PM). He
checked my throat for the depth of damage and it felt and bled a lot
worse than it was. I was fine, just sore in the throat. Fine now too.. I
can eat with the best of them :-)

Subject: RE: Boy chokes on popcorn at movie theater and dies
So he didn't perform the heimleich or anything?
You just..coughed it up on your own essentially?
Did you have to go to the hospital?
I heard a story about this woman that had a chicken bone stuck
in her
throat, and I'm not sure if she had to be rushed to hospital, I
think
she did. Anyways, scar tissue formed, and thus far it has
prevented her
from eating much solid food and still hurts like heck.

Sometimes it is very hard to clear the airway... especially with
things
like popcorn, not slick like a piece of meat or fruit. I
remember almost
choking to death in college. Just enjoying a nice monday night
football
game with ym buddy while I was on duty (RA) and we ordered a
pizza. Got
a piece of crust stuck in my throat and couldn't breathe AT ALL!
About
20 seconds into the ordeal I had enough pressure in my stomach
to force
it up, but it was not pretty; I gouged the linig of my throat
and it
bled for hours... and it hurt like hell... not too mention how
scary
that is. My buddy reamined calm and kept me calm, we knew what
to do...
fortunately, he didn't have to assist other than keeping me
calm.
