@Slate the appropriate treatment for choking.

@Slate ground who had their airway obstructed, they need back blows and abdominal thrusts. CPR causes a lot of injury, which is why it's good that no one is conscious for it! This was incredibly traumatic for the child, and it's not responsible to publish a letter saying this is

Him: Your job is so hard. I could never do this.

Nearly 25% of the entire national debt – that took 200 years to accumulate – was added by the last Administration.

Meanwhile, we cut the deficit by over $1.7 trillion in two years.

I'm not going to sit and be lectured by MAGA Republicans in Congress about fiscal responsibility.

BREAKING: Amy Coney Barrett did not disclose her husband’s legal work on a court ethics form.

This is after we learned that Clarence Thomas failed to disclose $700k of Ginni Thomas’s pay from the far-right Heritage Foundation.

SCOTUS needs a REAL code of ethics. Now.

Hi, ER Doc here.

Did you know that bystander CPR can double or triple the chances of survival from cardiac arrest? This is how it works.

Life is precious. Learn CPR.
