June 1, 1974: Dr. Henry Heimlich and His Beagles
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- 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.

Let us know what you think of this new potential series. I doubt we can manage every day with our current staff and keeping up with normal stuff, but at least for the month of June we're shooting for every weekday. Then, based on feedback we'll see if we want to keep this segment around in its current or tweaked form or scrap it. Feedback much appreciated! Thanks!
*Oh, and we forgot to put author credits in the video. For your reference, those are- Staff Author/Researcher extraordinaire: Karl Smallwood (of Fact Fiend fame), Editor in Chief Daven Hiskey, and Paramedic script consultant: Scott Hiskey.
I like this idea, i watch your channel everyday anyway and would love more episodes.
I like this idea a lot especially since it started on my birthday :D
I think it would be a good idea to create a separate channel for this series. Personally I have unsubscribed to some channels due to their wide variety of topics or even styles of videos while I was only interested in one or two series. The recommended videos and notifications gets overrun by videos I have no interest in.
simon you are my favorite youtuber, i do hope you can keep this series going , best wishes to you and your staff!
I like the idea, and it could lead to some interesting topics that you wouldn't otherwise think of doing.
I used the back of the chair method on myself at around age 13... Big ol' wad of bacon fat on a pork medalion was lodged in hard.
The biggest misunderstanding is that people believe someone is choking if they can hear them choking... In fact it's just the opposite. You aren't supposed to do the Heimlich unless there is no air getting in or out, otherwise if there is air going in and out you simply encourage them to cough it up.
Fortunately, I knew all this from training in the BSA... Unfortunately my family did not, and just sat and stared at me while I choked, eventually giving up and doing it myself on the back of my chair with everyone watching. To this day they claim "we'd know if you were choking".... Yeah, sure.

+Dan O'Connell -- I've successfully performed the Heimlich on a choking person, and her face-skin had changed color multiple times by that point as her blood became increasingly de-oxygenated.
Dan O'Connell You’re right - when someone is choking, it is eerily silent. Unfortunately, more than my share of experience with this one. Everyone should know how to do this. I had to do the Heimlich twice in restaurants - I seemed to be the only person in the place who knew what to do. All restaurant workers should be educated on how to do it.
Agreed, movies have done a lot of harm by showing "choking" as this coughing fit. When I choked at the table I did was I was trained to do, I waved my hands, banged on my dinner plate, gestured at my throat, made the "choking sign", but nobody believed I was choking because I wasn't making any sound.
My wife's been saved from choking in restaurants three times thanks to the Heimlich maneuver. Every time she made no sound.
A lot of dogs, including beagles engage in the "hind lick" maneuver!

Nice one!

I have a Beagle chihuahua mix and he is a crazy loyal dog and plays with our other two 90lb dogs like he’s just as big. He’s 17lbs and sleeps under the covers curled up my my butt. He smiles at me too. Only to me and my wife but no one else. I love my canine kids and my human daughter very much, they are my world.
Aaron Burr At the woods I mean... To be fair to all the puppies grown and young, puppies play with puppies bigger then themselves all the time
Work with beagles in a kennel setting and you will understand.
I can't put my finger on it but something has changed with the production of this video as compared to earlier but I like it and I also like this idea of doing videos on what happened on specific days in History. This particular one was waaaaaay further in depth than just one day but this is exactly what this channel does so I am still very happy, I appreciate all of these changes and thank you for all of the information :D
"but something has changed with the production of this video" Hired a new video editor for this series. Very pleased with his work here, especially with how little time we gave him to do it in. :-)
Today I Found Out sounds like they were thrown into the deep end from the begining! Regardless I like the style and I wish them and the whole team all the best
The number dying might have grown, but also did the population of the U.S.
I looked up some numbers and in 1974 the United States population was 213.85 million and 3,300 people died due to choking. This is 0.001543%.
In 2015 the population was 321.04 million and 5,051 people died of choking. This is 0.001573%.
So while it seemed crazy that it jumped upwards of 2,000 deaths the percent between population and those who died of choking hasn't changed at all.
This means that the method did not work better but it still did work. And the use of it was not the cause of the excess deaths.
There is a small increase in percent there, although the number appears small we are dealing only in very small percents here at all. It is unwise to state this increase is negligible without working out what a meaningful deviation is. Many things other than just the introduction of the heimlich maneuver changed during those years. The increase was sudden, from what simon described, and other causes such as dietary changes or toy changes (many choking victims are young children) could also be involved.
TLDR: your numbers- corrected for population change- DO show an increase
Emily C you're correct in saying there was an increase I just want to make sure the increase was not attributed to the wide spread use of the maneuver.
I'm am still confused because there are many more health risks taken away with the monitoring of children's toys and such, and I'm wondering why it has grown if risks to prevent it have been taken.
Evan O. Yeah, the toys was just a hypothesis. I'd be interested to see some data on what the actual foreign bodies are that people fatally choked on. I wonder if that's available anywhere.
Also, ideally you aren't just looking for no increase in choking deaths to support the heimlich as appropriate first aid- you're looking for a decrease. It's interesting to see no evidence of that whatsoever in the first glance at the numbers. Doesn't bode well.
Emily C I did a quick look and it seems that food is top of the list for hazards. Which might explain why the preventative measures haven't had much, or any, affect on the number of deaths; in proportion to the population.
There is an easy explanation for that, people simply not even knowing about it.
I really like this series idea, *please* do more ❤💡
Great idea for a series 😊 keep up the great work ❣
Today in history, I watched a cool video.
I love this type of thing, I love history in general so much and I think a lot of your audience shares the same interest. I think a good majority would love you to do more
I really found this very interesting. I never knew that the Heimlich Method is only around for such a short time.
I think personally all your videos are GREAT Simon. All the way from the information to the way you present them. I look forward to viewing your videos/channels on a daily basis. And as always, THANKS for posting them.
I think it would be a great addition! Absolutely loved it
I love the new series!
On the issue of the number of choking deaths. I understand the numbers of them increased, but I also know that the population was increasing, and still it. What is the percentages per capita?
Johnny Carson doing the Heimlich on Angie Dickinson was probably more laughs than educational. "So, Mr. Carson you're going to reach around and place your hands on Angie's abdomen. Um. That's not her abdomen."
Would love to see this as a new series. I sometimes wait for all the different videos for the day to get released and then have my "Intellectual Hour" watching Simon. Still miss the infrequent Daven episodes, but the articles are excellent. I just wish you guys were in the US, so I could help with Simon's word and name pronunciations. But it is a good treat and laugh to hear his scholarly tries at them. Please keep up the great work.
My mom, a Cincinnati physician, once met Dr. Heimlich in person, apparently he came across as a arrogant condescending jerk.
Fits very closely with his son's many rants about his father which he has a website dedicated to: medfraud.info/ ;-)
As expected
He probably lied about no beagles being hurt!
samnella9 obviously, most scientist probrably lie lol
513 up in here
This Day in History... Yes please
Well, I like this series, and it does work! Husband (ex-EMT) had to use it on his disabled brother several times as he had a choking problem. There is also a problem that causes choking when the food tube that leads to the stomach mis-fires and spasms in the wrong order causing choking. This usually resolves itself when the person calms down. If someone is turning blue and passing out, that's a good time for the Heimlich. I am only saying this about choking with food, mind you.
LOVE IT!!
Well personally I like this kind if “ news”. It helps to see where a subject cane from and where it is now and everything in between. As usual, your research team and yourself do a fantastic job at educating us and again, I appreciate it all. Love to learn, don’t like the research so much, you do great work. Thanks Simon and co. 👍👍
I like that you call it today in history. Helps keep history channel off your back. This day in history is cool on their channel but it only lasts about 45-75 seconds long adjacent to commercial breaks. You’re awesome TIFO!!!
Loved it 😍 😍
Please carry on this series
I like it. Especially proud that you chose a Cincinnati person to talk about as I am from Cincinnati! Do more of this type of 'On this Day' .
I think this is a great idea ! Keep up the amazing work :)
I absolutely LOVE this idea!! Hopefully you all can make it into a daily series! This is just so much YES! It reminds me of something my 7th grade history teacher did; he would start the day off with a tidbit he called, “History of Today” and I LOVED IT!
Really liking this new series. Looking forward to more! One question though: how do you manage to do it all? Today I Found Out, TopTenz, Biographics and now maybe this new series?
If you watch their special "a tifo story" they explain for tifo that they have a bunch of people doing the research and writing up dozens of things at once for tifo, as well as others helping with editing and delivery etc. As a result, they have a bunch of back logs and a beginning of information that can lead to inspire the other various videos. I haven't seen a "behind the scenes" for TopTenz, but I think there's at least one other person working on that project also.
While I know not all of the channels that Simon narrates for are directly related to each other, it's clear to me that there is some crossover.
I love this!
I'd say your trial was a smashing success. I like this new "this day in history" style video. It would be amazing if we could get these sort of videos regularly (especially alongside your normal videos).
I love it! Keep it up guys! It’s almost like I know Simon personally because I watch all his shows! Thanks for all the hard work everyone!
What a great idea and I love that you chose my birthday to start your experiment!!!...keep up the videos and I’ll keep watching!!!
Keep doing this series
With the back blows you're supposed to lean a person forward so gravity can aid in the expulsion of the blockage.
Bonus Facts for this series could be what the fun national holiday is for that day, like national doughnut day or national left handed day. Love what you guys do!
I used the Heimlich maneuver this past Sunday to save my godson, so I know it works.
Daniel Ortman I used it on my son when he was younger (and stupider) and it worked. I was kind of surprised I could do it, actually, but given my husband is useless in crisis situations (he admits this himself) and was just standing there, freaking out, I had to do it. I'm just grateful it worked for me. (and for you, too)
I will watch everything that you release. I learn so much from all the channels Simon hosts. This is a great idea! I do hope that it works out where these can continue.
I've been watching u guys for years and I think this is a great direction to go with a new series. Thank you for the content and keep up the amazing work team!!!!
Love it
This is dope keep em up Simon
LOVE the concept. I would certainly watch (almost) daily.
Love the idea sir. Not seen it anywhere else. Please carry on!
I love this new series. Thank you for putting in so work to make great from the get go.
I think daily is a bit much. I'm a knowledge-a-holic but I think weekly would be a lot better fitting for the schedule you already have.
Cool idea! Great video. Plz keep using this format! 😊
Very interesting and, as usual, very well presented. I do think, although I don't have the numbers to back it up, that the increase in the number of deaths is more a reflection of population increase than evidence that the Heimlich maneuver was not effective. Having taught first-aid and CPR for many years I can say that organizations like AHA and Red Cross are always scrutinizing methods to find the most effective emergency interventions. So it is no surprise that they currently recommend mixture of interventions to assist a person in distress.
The Heimlich Maneuver helped cure my asthma, insomnia, diabetes, acne, liver cancer, Beatlemania, Geriatric Profanity Disorder, leprosy, and Pac-Man Fever!
I'm not getting notifications. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Today in history I liked this video. Enjoying the new videos. Keep up the great job.
I was told that the medical profession does not refer to the maneuver by name anymore because of the family demanding money for the use of the name. This is why our emergency first aid training changed a few years back to refer to it as abdominal thrusts.
No idea if this is true, just what I was told by CME trainers.
This is great. I've always liked this sort of content as it makes every day seem like a more interesting day.
Hey Simon- great idea. Keep 'em coming!
Please continue these. I find it very interesting and intriguing series!
I love the idea of this series. I can’t wait to see more!! 💗
I kinda like this as it give us a look back at the past to somethings that we take as just known fact and see where they started. Awesome. Keep it up
I like the new series, today in history. You always have interesting subjects to talk about.
Good stuff! Simon & Co. always put out good, informative, and interesting material--and thank you all for doing it, this is another great idea--keep it up!
Thanks!
I really enjoyed this episode! Keep it up!!
I love this idea. I love your channel and love history. I watch tifo everyday for hours. Id love if you did one on my birthday (july 6th) not just cause its my birthday but there is also alot of historical events on that day. Keep up the good work Simon cant wait till you’re next video!
I really liked it. Not too long and not too short. Also, I'd like to see you wear your hat for the next one lolz xxx
"Hilda! I've invented a maneuver!" "What are you a bloody tank commander now?"
Very interesting. I like the new format.
Really enjoyed "TDIH"...Great job as always.
Great idea keep it up!
Very informative and interesting article. Thank you.
Oooo. What happened on my birthday in history?
6 y/o Back slaps removed a partial obstruction I had (penny) - Mom saved the day
11 y/o Heimlich removed a complete obstruction I had (hotdog/bun) - Mom saved the day
65 y/o Heimlich removed a complete obstruction someone else had (Restaurant Diner breakfast) - I saved the day
I am thankful for the Heimlich maneuver (understatement of the century).
Please continue this series!
Great video ! To me that seems pretty similar to your previous format, so I like it.
I like this format and style.
Should have called the series
"today in futures opposite"
Absolutely +Simon!, would definitely sub. Your series (all of them) have taken my least favorite subject (history) and made it fascinating. Looking forward to your new channel.
I liked the today in history segment. It should be continued
Loved finding out what happened on this day! More please!!
Breathtaking video
Thank God for Dr. Hiemleck. I wouldn't be here without him
I think the series fits this channel nicely
Love the new concept!
I really enjoyed the siren at 10:15, as well as the rest of the content of this video.
This is cool & a good idea, Simon.
That was surprisingly interesting. One thing it seems to illustrate is that there are always tradeoffs in adopting one method or another, or even to alternating methods as the Red Cross suggests. Mandating any particular method over another might well have unintended consequences, because the particular circumstances of any situation are going to differ. Sometimes you just have to trust to individual initiative and human intuition, and hope for the best.
Loved it, defiantly want to see more 😃
10:39 great unintentional pun... "no pressure from Heimlich"
Looking forward to more of these.
I love learning about history ,so 1 vote for the new series.
I've seen it in use - was several years ago. My dad, his 2nd wife who was into nursing and we were at a Spanish restuarant. She noted a guy choking, ran over and performed the Heimlich maneuver.
Hey, I watch all of your videos. I like this new video, keep it up!
Very good series idea.... run with it!
I found this story fascinating. A well done video. It felt much like a long TIFO video or a short Biographics. I'm not saying thats a bad thing, but perhaps to differentiate these videos from the others you could do several shorter snippets on different things that happened on this day in history, saving the in-depth stories for your regular videos. Either way I would watch more videos just like this.
I read that Dr. Heimlich ironically never got to perform his own maneuver on a person. He would even go to restaurants hoping that someone would start choking..
It's a cool idea to do "on this day" history, but the way you did it was the exact same format as usual. The only real difference is mentioning the date at the beginning. Maybe it should be more of a list like top tenz but being able to change the number or length of each explication depending on what you have to work with. Top tenz, I found out today, and Biographics all have their own identity while this doesn't seem to. I enjoyed the video very much as I enjoy almost all of what you do. I just don't get the point of starting a new series if you're not going to do something different. I hope that's constructive for you, and keep up the great work. You have the perfect voice and delivery for what you're doing.
I love this idea. I vote for another channel I can follow with an "on this day in history."
Good new format.
Love it, can't wait to get my this day in history fix tomorrow and the next day and the next. Thanks you TIFO team.
Also I grew up on long island in NY USA and would love to hear some simunciations of the place names out there, Montauk, Massapequa, Aquebogue, Amagansett. Just because he gets so particular.
Do more, this vid was great!
I really love this new show.
I have first hand witnessed the Heimlich maneuver save a life. When at work one night during a break, one of my coworkers started chocking on a Snickers bar. The first person to try and maneuver had improper hand placement, so someone else took their place, and with three thrust the blockage was expelled (and it did fly several feet). I believe proper training on how to hold your hands is key. My workplace also has several more certified First-Aid attendants then it did at that time, so there are a number of qualified people who could be able to to perform the maneuver correctly.
The coworker who was chocking was startled and needed a very short time to recover, but was able to return to work with 20 mins and otherwise was fine afterward.
Calling bullshit on 'no dogs were harmed'.
My brother dislodged a stuck hotdog when he was 12 by fulling full force into a fence rail and letting himself fold over it. It worked quite nicely.
When choking and living alone, I look towards my dog for help. Forget it boy. I have thrust my back backwards into a doorway a few times, but never thought to give myself the Heimlich before.
I do really like this new format and I would love to help you out any way that I could. :D
I love this kind of thing. I'll watch it regularly!
