Jenny saved my life by doing the Heimlich on me after confirming I was choking.
Jenny was wonderful to my husband and me. My husband is not doing well with cancer. Jenny did her best to control the pain. Tonight, when I was eating my supper, I choked (I am not the patient) and my husband pushed the nurse call button. Jenny responded quickly thinking it was about pain and noticed I was choking. She saved my life by doing the Heimlich on me after confirming I was choking. I was not able to get air in or out but could nod. Her efforts worked and the food dislodged. Not only was she kind to us before this incident, but she did not hesitate to help me. She did not miss a beat. She followed up regarding my husband’s pain and with me. She did not make me feel like an idiot for not being more careful.
