 Choking victim's daughter sues hospital - The Boston Globe
The daughter of a woman who died after choking on her lunch at Youville Hospital and Rehabilitation Center sued the hospital and two medical staff members yesterday, charging that their attempts to save Rosalyn Pearl were "a comedy of errors" that exposed poor emergency training as well as faulty life-saving equipment at the Cambridge facility.
But when her daughter told a medical staff member that her mother was choking, instead of calling for help the woman left the room to find the nurse assigned to Pearl, according to the report.
A therapist who entered the room with the nurse said she considered performing the Heimlich maneuver, in which the rescuer presses the diaphragm of the choking victim to dislodge the obstacle, but decided against it, saying that Pearl was "very large," according to state investigators.

 BBC News | HEALTH | Choking
Frequently, a choking victim clutches the throat with thumb and forefinger, a universal signal of distress.
If the victim can talk this is a sign that the airway is not completely obstructed and that some air is getting through to the lungs.
In this case it is best to leave the victim alone until they can dislodge the food or object themselves by coughing or throat clearing, or with their fingers.

People who are choking may still be conscious and have circulation but are unable to breathe because something- usually food-is lodged in the throat.
If the victim is pregnant or especially obese, it is safer and easier to do a chest thrust rather than an abdominal maneuver.
The longer the victim goes without oxygen, the more relaxed the muscles become, and this may release the foreign object, so that one of these maneuvers may ultimately be successful.

With a name like Choking Victim, I was half-expecting something sounding similar to Cannibal Corpse or Gwar (which I loathe).
Choking Victim comprised of four crackhead squatters from New York who decided to put together a satanic ska/hardcore band.
