June 1, 1974: Dr. Henry Heimlich and His Beagles

According to various interviews given by Dr Henry Heimlich during his lifetime (he passed away in 2016 at age 96), the eponymous maneuver he championed in the 1970s is responsible for saving the lives of tens of thousands of people and a not insignificant number of dogs... In this video, you'll learn about the fascinating history of the Heimlich Maneuver, what you should actually do when you're with someone who is choking or perhaps are choking yourself with no one else around, and the rather questionable later career of Dr Heimlich.
