The "Hymen" Maneuver

I went in to speak with the family of a man who was severely ill and on a ventilator in the department. The patient's sister was in the family room and I introduced myself and asked, "Tell me what happened."

She said that her brother had "fallen-out" and that she called 911. She added that she started CPR and, "Just like the lady told me I did the 'hymen maneuver' with all my strength".

  1. Dammit, I just sprayed part of a perfectly good gin-amd-tonic on the screen.
