The daughter of an older man describes her father's terrifying choking incident:

"My mom was feeding my dad, she ran to the room yelling "Tu papa se esta ahogando" (Your dad is choking). I ran to the kitchen grab the dechoker which I had educated everyone in household, it would be on top of water dispenser. He was sitting up, with purple lips.. Placed the device on and on first suction, the piece of meat came out. He just gasped for air, his eyes were watery. Very grateful for this tool."
