A paramedic was at home eating a peanut butter cup when he accidentally inhaled a bit of it. He tried to do the Heimlech maneuver on himself, his wife tried as well, no luck.
So what does he do?
He grabs a kitchen knife and performs a cricotracheotomy on himself. (For the non-medical, he cut a hole into the front of his neck, and then stuck his finger through it and into his trachea below the obstructing peanut butter cup.)
Yeah. Pretty hard-core.
The beeper message when he came in was my favorite part: "Criked himself."
Careful this Halloween!
