"I purchased the Dechoker awhile back for my wife with Parkinson's disease. It saved her life today. This is the message I sent to our family and friends: We had quite a scare today before the hospice lady got here. Lori was eating soup sitting up in bed when she had to lie down for to the hallucinating. We thought she had swallowed everything but all the sudden she looked panicked, so I set her back up with the adjustable bed. She couldn't get any air in and I couldn't slap her back or get her up for the Heimlich. Thank God we had the Dechoker, I ran and got it and it sucked a chunk of chicken out her throat." - Steve J.
