Complaint Conniptions: Find Something Better to Do with Your Time

Recently Bellevue Publix gave my prescription with my name, address, phone number and some of my medical info to the wrong person. They wouldn’t give me my own medicine, because their records showed it had been picked up. Then when I tried to matter-of-facts insist the issue be taken care of, the pharmacy manager on duty suggested I take my business elsewhere. I turned in a complaint. But some people complain if a helpful clerk wants to show you how to use self checkout. There is a time to complain and a time to keep your whining to yourself. Read more.

Choking on Honey: What to Do

Image
Choking on honey: What to do Honey is a thick, viscous fluid which can become trapped in a person's airway. While there are many articles written about using honey to remove obstructions from the throat, there is not much, if anything, written about what to do if someone is choking on honey. I had an experience where I was choking on honey and called the paramedics. I couldn't even speak by the time I had someone on the phone. By the time the paramedics arrived, the honey had dissolved enough for me to begin gasping for air.  The main thing is to NOT PANIC and not inhale it deeper while it is thick. Honey will slowly dissolve and thin out. Coughing helps to break it up if you can slowly suck in enough air to get a cough out.    Also see: Dr. Morgan Wills: What to do if choking on honey - Nashville Skin, Health & Beauty Examiner
