First, a fun fact: I was in a class teaching the Heimlich Maneuver yesterday afternoon. The teacher notes that Heimlich is, in fact, still alive at 96 years old. Not five minutes later someone holds up their iPhone -- "hey, I just got the craziest news alert..." Second: According to the same teacher, as well, some lawsuits on the part of Heimlich or his family have caused the American Heart Association to now recommend using the term "abdominal thrusts" instead of "Heimlich maneuver." Which the teacher considered sad because it would cause the name of the doctor to be forgotten over time. I'm having a hard time finding an online reference to this -- so curious if anyone else has heard something along these lines.
