It's Good She Wasn't Relying On the Others

At a lunch meeting among some senate Democrats, Missouri senator Claire McCaskill started choking.  West Virginia senator Joe Manchin performed the Heimlich on McCaskill and saved her life.  McCaskill did suffer a broken rib as a result, however.  Kudos to Manchin for taking quick action.

It's also worth noting that it's a good thing that McCaskill wasn't lunching with senators like Connecticut's own senators Murphy and Blumenthal.  Those two would no doubt have thought it a good idea to discuss how to approach McCaskill's choking prior to taking action.  That would have led to an hour long debate during which McCaskill would have died.  After that, both Murphy and Blumenthal would, no doubt, have taken to Twitter to tell their constituents how they had fought for McCaskill's life.  These two are people who only know one thing:  talk.  They never actually achieve anything.
