Henry Heimlich, the guy who came up with the life-saving Heimlich Maneuver, died yesterday.  He was 96 years old.

This one will be missed, but never be forgotten.

I remember the case from earlier this year where he actually (for the first time) got to personally save a choking person by using his technique.  His medical contribution will certainly not be forgotten by history or the thousands that it has saved over the years.


Go ahead and check out my fanfictions, The Seven Hunters, Songs of the Hunters, and Menders Tale.

96 is a damn good run for anyone. A man who invented a procedure that's saved lives deserved a good run like that. RIP
