House Call Slapping choker still controversial

By G. Timothy Johnson, M.D. Dear Dr Johnson: Please settie an argument: is it safe to slap a choking person on the back? - Carla G . Ternpie, Ariz. Dear Carla: You may not be aware of just how controversial vour question is. There is considerable argument -- known more politely as “scientific discussion" - among the experts on that issue. I'he Committee on Emergency Medical Services, supported hv the V. S. National Academy of Sciences, for example, recently reported to the American Red Cross that vigorous backslaps are worth trying in some cases The Red Cross subsequently adopted those recommendations in its training procedures and manuals. On the other side. Dr. Henry Heimlich, of “Heimlich maneuver” fame, argues that hard slaps on the back may be dangerous. He says they can dislodge an offending object, allowing it to fall even deeper into the breathing system. My own opinion is that, if back slaps are used, they should he tried only a few times before resorting to the Heimlich maneuver Also, back slaps are less dangerous if the victim can be held in an upside-down position This is most easily done, of course, with an infant or small child. (If you’d like to read a more Thorough exploration of the argument, see the March 21, 1980. issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, pages 1141 and 1142.) And maybe the most important thing to realize -- as I’ve noted before -- is that most “choking victims don’t usually have completely blocked airways. If the person can be calmed down enough so that he or she can breathe easily and very slowly, it may be possible to get the victim to a hospital for more expert attention. In such a case you wouldn’t need tp try any further maneuvers. Dear Dr. Johnson: I was recently hospitalized for what was called a “routine” hysterectomy. I was quite surprised when they gave me several injections of antibiotics before I went into surgery. When I asked my surgeon about it. he said the antibiotics given before surgery help prevent infections afterward. .Sure enough, I didn’t have any infections. But I still wonder about the necessity of those injections. - Just Curious. -Dear Curious: There’s some evidence to support your physician. Some studies show B. J. Becker

Opening lead five of clubs. loot's assume you get to six hear ts and West leads the five of clubs. Your first reaction, when dummy comes down, might be that you’d rather be in seven hearts than six. After all, the odds are greatly in favor of your making all the tricks. However, you should not ailow such thoughts to divert you from trying to insure the actual contract six hearts. You would lose even the small slam if, for example, you took the club lead in dummy with the ace and next played the ace of trumps. East shows out

that antibiotics, given before a hysterectomy, do help prevent later infections which are relatively common following hysterectomies. Dear Dr. Johnson: Is it true that someone can be brought back to life even after several hours if the victim has been submerged in cold water? - Phillip N.. Brattleboro, Vt. Dear Phillip: There have been cases in which people were revived - or successfully resuscitated - after being submerged in cold water for relatively long periods, longer than the four minutes we usually cite as the length of time it takes to cause irreversible brain damage. Most experts now advise that anyone who has been submerged in cold water should be given sustained artificial respiration even if the victim appears to be dead at the time of discovery. Dear Dr. Johnson: Is it wise, or necessary, to take preventive antibiotics after being bitten by a dog 9 - Mrs. Shirley K.. Claremont. Calif. Dear Shirley: There’s considerable debate on that question Some experts believe antibiotics need not be administered. but many feel more comfortable in giving antibiotics - usually penicillin - when a dog bite breaks the skin. Dear Readers. I feel I must call your attention to a recent report in the January 1980 American Journal of Diseases of Children. It describes a case in which cimetadine (Tagamet is the trade name) - a drug widely used in treatment of ulcers - was linked with transient liver problems in a newborn infant whose mother took the drug during pregnancy. Cimetadine is an excellent drug for some uses, but it appears to be finding increasing use to treat the “heartburn” sensations often associated with pregnancy. In my judgment, cimetadine should not be used by pregnant women until we have good evidence that it won’t cause serious harm to a developing fetus (What to do and how - all the information you need in a lifethreatening emergency - is at your fingertips in Dr. Johnson’s booklet, “First Aid.” For a copy, send $1.50 to “First Aid,” care of this newspaper, P. 0. Box 259, Norwood, N. J. 07648. Make checks payable to Newspaperbooks.) / (0 1980 by The Chicago Tribune

and it later turns out he has all four missing diamonds, so the end result is that you lose a trump trick and a diamond trick to go down one. It is true that you would have made six hearts had you played a low trump to your king at trick two, instead of leading the ace, but how could you be expected to know that West was the player with three trumps rather than East? Actually, there’s a good answer to this question. You should start the play by assuming that East has the J--9-8-2 of diamonds! Why do you do this? Because you’re certain to make the slam if East does not have four diamonds, and you should therefore assume he all four of them. Once it’s granted that West is void of diamonds, you should also dismiss the theoretical possibility that West is also void of hearts. He would have 13 black cards in that case, and he almost surely would have bid something over one heart. Furthermore, if we grant that East has four diamonds and West has none, it follows that if either defender has all three missing trumps, West is far more likely to have them than East. A low heart play from dummy at trick two therefore is a much better play than the ace.

Worry Clinic

By George W. Crane, Ph.D.,M.D.

Peggy is too young to appreciate the broader viewpoint of editors, who try to heal psychological wounds and safeguard happy homes This column offers psychological vaccination against unhappiness! CASE V-628: Peggy W., aged 19, is a coed with a psychological chip on her shoulder. “Dr. Crane,” she began, “you are a male chauvinist! “And belong in the dinosaur age, for don’t you know that women now are the equals of men? “Yet you continually attack us and call us concubines if we live with a boy classmate while in college. “You also claim we are poor gamblers and thus say we then blame the boy friend if he doesn’t finally marry us. “Why don’t you pick on the male sex instead of always telling wives how they can hold their husbands? “And why don’t you urge the fat husbands to diet instead of always blaming wives for being waddling walruses and baby hippos?” EDITORIAL STRATEGY Editors run this feature to give you readers a unique combination of practical medico-psychological techniques for solving your problems. And in medicine we have this standard axiom, namely: “Soothe the acute but irritate the chronic ailments.” Most fat wives write, begging for me to show them how to lop off the ugly blubber that has destroyed their earlier coed looks. They know they SHOULD diet but they tend to procrastinate, as I can also realize, for Mrs. Crane and I have often wanted to reduce. And all overweight people who wish to slenderize must work up enough anger at their bulging “equators” that they vow to start dieting NOW, not

the first of next month. Which is why I help arouse inner ire by mentioning that many obese wives look like a waddling walrus as they jiggle down the street. Or create a baby hippo impression if their husbands try to revive their courtship emotions by holding those wives on their knees. Or feel that they are cavorting with the GOP elephant when they try to steer such women over the dance floor. Most women realize why I am taunting all fatties in such manner and will resolve to diet NOW! A few, like the immature coeds, don’t get the point so they wrathfully indict me for being a woman hater. I don’t hate women but as a physician who is begged for advice, I merely answer the pleas of unhappy wives. And when I tell wives how to hold their husbands against the wiles of poaching paramours, it is to salvage homes by preventing the cruel shuttling of kiddies back and forth between feuding parents who have unnecessarily procured a divorce! Most young couples expect to live happily ever afterwards when they marry.' But the tragic 30% current divorce rate shows they need expert advice, so your editor tries to safeguard homes by this column. And you coeds should realize that there are more unmarried women than men, so this is a buyers market, for there are at least 10,000,000 extra adult women in the U.S.A. Coeds, don’t become so bigoted, for I’ve dealt with thousands of you in my college teaching and millions via this column. Thank your editor for trying to insure your future happiness.
