Josh farley weekly beat blast12/20/2023 After the food came out and the adrenaline died down that’s when I realized I probably did more damage to my back. The surge of adrenaline kept me from feeling, or at least noticing, any pain in my back. “I didn’t really think about anything other than, ‘that explains the change in the sound (vomiting to choking).’ I truly just reacted to the situation on learned instinct. “At the time, I did not think about the back injury or what may come of it,” said Tokarski. Tokarski said the danger to Rempfer, and his previous training and experience allowed him to simply react and take action. I have actually given abdominal thrusts to three or four dogs prior to this, including my sister-in-law’s Boston terrier, “I grew up with a mom who is a nurse and an uncle who is a veterinarian, so I’ve practiced first aid on people and animals as long as I can remember. Rempfer let me know the food was out, and once I realized he was OK, my only thought, strangely enough, was ‘this is my first time doing this on a human,’ explained Tokarski. Once the danger had passed, Tokarski had time to reflect on what had just happened. “Once the food was dislodged, I first told him the food was out so he could stop performing the Heimlich on me. “He got to me and started to perform the Heimlich right away, and I could feel the food coming up each attempt he made,” he recalled. Rempfer said the situation played out quickly and simply. Thankfully, one or two more thrusts later, the food dislodged.” Without stopping the thrusts I called out for help. At this point, it occurred to me that I might not have enough strength to dislodge the food. “I delivered three or four thrusts, and the food was still lodged. “I was already out of my chair and positioning him for abdominal thrusts,” Tokarski said. The choking sounds and look of distress on Rempfer’s face triggered Tokarski into action. I was going to fall on the chair to try and dislodge it.” ![]() I thought about what I’d do if he couldn’t or didn’t get to me. “I tried to say ‘help’ verbally, and then I swatted at him with my arm. “I swallowed some food down the wrong tube,” explained Rempfer, a quality assurance officer with Code 861. His hand was on his throat, and he let out an almost silent ‘I’m choking.’” I turned around, and he was already looking at me. After a few seconds, the sound changed from vomiting to a desperate gasping. “At first, it sounded like he was vomiting I was going to wait until he was finished to see if he was OK or needed anything. Rempfer, who was still eating,” recalled Tokarski. “On the day of the incident, I had already finished my lunch, and my back was to Lt. Adam Tokarski, who is assigned to IMF on limited duty orders to recover from back surgery, opted to ignore the potential pain and suffering picking up a person would likely cause, and performed the Heimlich maneuver on Lt. What if you were recovering from spinal fusion surgery and suffered so much pain that you were forced to walk with a cane for many days? You’re probably thinking you’d perform the Heimlich maneuver to save the person. Imagine sitting at your desk when you hear a co-worker in distress. on Saturday, April 16 at Alex’s Bar.By Max Maxfield, IMF Command Information Officer It’s always on the back of our mind, though.”įartbarf to blast Long Beach: The event takes places at 8 p.m. We have a couple of spares, so hopefully we won’t lose them. Our current masks that we’ve had for a few years now, they’ve been custom-made by a Hollywood exec. We wore them for hundreds and hundreds of shows until they started rotting off of our faces. We came upon these masks from the ’40s at an old costume shop in Arizona that was closing, and I bought a lot of them. “We’re these space neanderthals playing futuristic instruments, even though they’re kinda dated at this point. “We thought it would be fun to mesh future and primitive,” he says.
