I know they can do some light "stretching" and give some medication that could help you.. good luck and don't be afraid to call 9-1-1

My dad used to choke on food, and now that I've gotten older I do the same thing. I have choked about a hundred times, with about a dozen of them very serious. So far, I haven't required the Heimlich maneuver, but it's been very close. One of the worst times, I was eating rice, of all things. For me, it's almost always when I'm very hungry and don't chew my first bite or two of food quite good enough. I have had a procedure to stretch my throat twice, but it doesn't seem to do anything, or helps very little.

Just wonder how they would triangulate which floor you’re on in a large hotel. I know if you call the front desk from your room they know where you are from their internal system, but does 911 know too??
