Lesson 18 Key Conversation Is There a Doctor in the House?

Carol: This's a great place for Friday night fish fry! I just love coming here. Fish is the house specialty!!

Ben: I've heard a lot about this restaurant, but watch out for fish bones. You could choke if you swallow one.

Carol: Oh, really? I've never heard of that happening in a restaurant of this caliber.

Ben: Oh dear, see that woman over there? It looks like she'schoking! (shouting) Help! Is there a doctor in the house?

Carol: Quick! Somebody call 911 now!

Ben: Look! A waiter is coming over to her table. What on earth is he doing?

Carol: Ah, he's performing the Heimlich Maneuver to dislodge whatever she's choking on.

Ben: Yes, I've heard of that method. It looks like it worked. Thanks goodness! Now do you see what I mean about fish bones?

Carol: Yeah, well, now we know what to do!

Ben: I think I'm going to sign up for one of those classes to learn how to do it correctly.
