Me too. Gerbils? Sounds ever-so-slightly perverted. It’s reassuring tho’ that you enhance your superhero status with performances of paramedic derring-do. I felt you were more of a Spiderman persona – sorry for the type-casting.
You forgot the rest of the story, Kyknoord. Like the geyser who came afterwards asking the poor thing whether she could please choke again. Then HE (the geeza) could put his hands on her breasts! As the guy did who unsuccessfully tried a not so “Heimlich” on her BEFORE YOU came to the rescue … Jeez, what a bunch of drama queens!
I have been following your work in gerbil removal and choking techniques with great interest. As a big fan of yours, i was just wondering, how do you remove someone’s head if it is stuck up their own ass?
I don’t think the Heimlich manoeuvre will work for this one and it seems to be a fairly common phenomenon?
Dr A: This is a difficult one. The Hindkick manoeuvre sometimes works, but in most cases, by the time the condition occurs, irreversable brain damage has already taken place.
mrs B:I know! How cool is that?
daisy: Hah! If you were really choking, you wouldn’t have managed to say “Help! Batman!” I’m wise to your wily ways.
Can you plesae provide a few more details on how the gerbil was extracted? We have a best practice database here we are keen to expand.

You aren’t Richard Gere are you? He was fond of gerbils, or so the story goes.
You learn a lot in theater, and some of it doesn’t give you nightmares.

upset waitress (take 2): They’re both on my to do list. I’ll get back to you with a full report and happy easter to you too.
