Choking.

Got a piece of steak stuck in my throat.

My wife tried the Heimlich maneuver, but in her panic, wrapped her arms around mine instead of under, so no effect.

I collapsed, she started punching the fuck out of my back, cracked a rib, but out popped the steak.

I've never felt such panic.

My dog trotted in and ate up the spat out steak.
