A Man Who Choked on Food Saved Himself Using the Heimlich Maneuver

In Turkey, an emergency medical center employee choked while eating when food blocked his airway. Since he was alone, he realized that only he could help himself and used the Heimlich maneuver. After 4–5 attempts, he managed to dislodge the food and breathe again. The incident was captured by the office’s security camera and went viral on social media, showing how a person can save themselves in such a situation when no one else is around.

The Heimlich maneuver is a technique used to clear the airway by forcefully pressing upward under the diaphragm to expel trapped air and remove the obstruction.
