I once asked my ER doctor relative what is the most avoidable thing adults come into the ER for, and he said choking on something they're eating alone at home.

Nice thing to remember next time you're gagging on some stringy cheese because you thought it better to scarf than chew your pizza.
- thaumasiotes 2y agoI don't understand. If you're choking at home, alone, you suffocate and die. If you recover, you're no longer choking. Why would you go to the ER then?
- hombre_fatal 2y agoYeah, I probably accidentally added that bit myself.
