I hope you have the proper medical training to do a tracheotomy, since if
you don't and you attempt it, there is a very good probability you'll
be sued back to the stone age.

Oh Jon,

A trake (as us nurses call it) is easy as pie, tilt your neck back,
feel your windpipe? it has ridges like a vaccume clearner hose, right
under your adams apple, use your finger and make sure you feel no
viens, plunge cut a 1/2" slit between the rings into the pipe, a straw
is a bit small for a full grown man I use a cardboard tampax tube, just
remember to remove the tampax first..Thhee hehe. Stick your finger in
the slit to expand it, then insert the tube, rinse with vodka ect, and
tape up.

Rob chokes all the time. I could do it blindfolded.

Are you saying Mr. Sails ain't the suin' kind?
Hmm, that would make a good country song...

Anyway, as somebody else posted, doing a tracheotomy isn't
that hard. Shucks, they gave instructions how to do it on
M*A*S*H (one of the only TV shows I've ever watched) and it
worked perfectly.

Talk about lawsuits waiting to happen! I can just imagine your
attorney cringing when you try to explain to the jury that you saw it
on MASH. :-)

I could prove I did it perfectly, by doing another one on
the opposing lawyer, right there in the court room.

Heck, I've assisted at so many vet surgeries that not much fazes
me...had to sit on the neck of a filly that jumped a piece of farm
equipment in a fit of pique and opened her gut up so wide her
intestines fell out....that was a trat..she lived and ended up being
a quite satisfactory pet for her owner's kids....jabbing a little
old pen knife into someone's neck when they're turning purple
wouldn't be hard to do at all...

Tell 'em what you do to monkeys.

Amen!
