HER FALSE TEETH HAD GOTTEN LOOSE AND GOT DISLODGED IN HER THROAT

i fished em out and she was fine hahah

hahah indeed.

Did you aid and abet the false teeth in their attempt to murder this nice old lady?

i honestly didn't think she had any teeth. i went to suction, thinking she was gargling some fluid and noticed something strange blocking her airway. i shouldve put her in a ked board and sat her up but she had no other complaints and her lungs were diminished but clear in the house

good lesson to learn

The big problem is going home at the end of the day and finding you've still got a couple sets of false teeth in your pocket because you remembered to take them out!

Did you get to use the Magill forceps? That's an ALS skill and tool in these parts.
