Right place, right time
manager John Schneider was quick to react when he noticed a woman choking on her food while having lunch in Florida.
Schneider, attending his first spring training as the club’s skipper, was eating lunch with his wife at a restaurant in the Dunedin, Florida area when a woman started choking on her meal and required first aid. The problem, however, is nobody at her table knew what to do. “A woman was choking on, I think it was a [piece of] shrimp, and I wandered over there, asked if I could help — no one at her table was helping,” Schneider said. “So, a couple Heimlichs and she was all good.”Prior to Saturday, Schneider admitted he hadn’t practiced the Heimlich maneuver since first learning it in Grade 6. Even so, he remembered enough to put his knowledge to use, leaning on his 6-foot-3, 250-pound frame to help dislodge the shrimp.
Whenever a person is choking on food in a film or television show, the problem is typically resolved by having the character throw up their meal in dramatic fashion — think “Mrs. Doubtfire.” But nothing like that transpired this time.
