Nearly Choked to my death

tonto24

So im dying hungover and decide to cook myself some steak. Everything is good and I begin to chomp away until I start to choke. I honestly thought I was on the way out. Face was goin purple. Milk going everywhere as i splutter it out. Do the ole 2 fingers back the throat and up she comes after a minute of trying. My eyes are now puffy as **** aswell. And that's my story for the day.
Over and out. Tonto

I clicked on this thread because I thought it was going to be about something entirely different and more titillating to ease the pain of Ireland's loss.

Oh well You survived your ordeal.

If a cow ever got the chance, he'd kill you, and everyone you cared about

People pay good money for that kinda stuff.

When I was much younger I was eating beef curry and I swallowed a large piece of beef and it got stuck in my throat.
I couldn't breath and I ran for something to drink, which obviously was useless.
My sister was there and saw I was in trouble and she with no training and around 13 years of age did the Heimlich maneuver on me and the piece of meat came flying out.
If I had been on my own I believe I would have died as I was suffocating.
It is something you never forget and never want to repeat.

Chew your food.

Moral of the story - don't bite off more than you can chew, particularly when hungover.

Milk with steak?

It's possible to self Heimlich. Good thing to know if you live on your own!

If you choke on steak, then you weren't eating steak.

That was a real misteak OP.

I had a weekend job for a while as a teenager selling cream cakes door to door. I was starving one day so I hid around the corner from the van and mowed into a cream doughnut. Next of all it got caught in my throat and I started choking. Well the tray got fcuked into the air as I'm turning purple, cakes everywhere. Eventually I coughed it out.

I had some job explaining to your man why there was grit and dirt and grass all over the cakes, (some of them landed in a garden) while my eyes were still streaming tears.:pac:

Last year, I got an infection in my brain, I had a seizure and started foaming at the mouth, started choking on it too (I may have voided myself as well, I never got my pants back from the hospital) but for the grace of God, my wife came home just in time to save me.

You can't do the Heimlich manoevre on yourself. So only eat baby food when alone.

OP...You didn't cook the steak properly and it really is as simple as that. Alternatively it was a feckin ****e piece of steak.

Chomping it down quickly isn't even an excuse once its cooked properly. Steak is steak. Cook it properly and you won't choke no matter what you do.

Im not willis and I will warn you. Ive just watched Ireland lose in France and the Dubs aren't impressing me so far. Therefore I'm ready to tear the heart out of someone!:D

But honestly all Im trying to say to you is that a badly cooked piece of steak or a steak that is simply a bad piece of meat, will lead to what happened.

So if I only eat baby cows I'm safe. Good to know.

I have nearly choked many times when LexieOnRale or The Backwards Man or Esel come out with one of their wisecracks. Does Boards.ie have public liability to cover these type of scenarios?

Chew yer food ye greedy pig!

This is a choking first-aid device called Life Vac.

It is only recently out and everyone should have one in the house, school... where-ever.

Here is how it works.

Here is their website where you can order one for $70



*Mods, I am not advertising a product here. This is the only one of its kind and could save someone's life

That's a great story, Cajonlardo

I'd be much more impressed if you hadn't survived but still started this thread.

Neighbours son died a few yrs back with almost the same complaint as the OP. Out in a restaurant with a few friends after a half dozen pints. Choked on a mouthful of steak collapsed and died despite efforts by patrons and staff to render first aid. Was in his 40s i think.
Came out at the inquest that the drink consumed beforehand had a relaxing effect on the muscle in the throat involved in swallowing. Steak can break up in pieces when chewed. Sometimes a cut of steak won't break up depending on the way its cut and the meat fibres are running. Turns into a chewed ball that stays intact going down the throat.

A good thing if you're on your own and choking is get on your hands and knees and lift out both your arms and fall on your stomach. You might be a bit winded but it should help.
I rarely eat the next day after drinking because food easily slides to the back of my throat and i can feel everything go down. I can't even swallow tablets anymore .

I think we need a demonstration. Surely if you are on your hands and knees and lift out both your arms you would fall on your face?

Steak with milk?

Happened to my kid before. Pretty terrifying. Managed to free the airway after a while thankfully but thought he was a goner.

Saw somebody on TV before doing it but they mimicked a Heimlich Maneuver by falling onto the arm of an armchair.
