I had this old lady who was resuscitated from a DOA(death on arrival) situation... The admission diagnosis was Suffocation... I asked Lem how did it happen ? Lem told me she was a victim of stroke and an nasogastric tube was in use. But the family said they feed medication via the tube and "FEED" the lady through mouth. The lady was choked by this papaya !!! I had seen many case that suffered from aspiration pneumonia because family and patient refused nasogastric tube placement for dysphagia due to stroke, but such case was the first one I encountered....
Well -she was still E1VEM1 before I went off yesterday.....
