Just thought you'd like to know

For those who've been watching the news, you may have noticed that the Pope got a tracheotomy. Earlier I'd mentioned that I've seen and "helped" in a trach. However, not all trachs are planned and sometimes an emergency trach is performed, like when someone is choking. During anatomy a professor demonstrated an emergency trach on a cadaver and emphasized how important they are when someone is choking and the Heimlich doesn't work. Anyway, the point of all this is...if you're choking and need a trach, turns out I am "qualified" to do one of the pen or steakknife variety...just in case...
