Sky, as far as I know, yes. I would do different things first:
If I like the person or don't know them, I do the Heimlich immediately.
If it is someone I am not too fond of,
I first give them a hard belt in the solar plexus, then when bent over, I give them a good kick up the bum.
NOTE: The belt and kick will probably not help get the blockage out and I will have to use the Heimlich, however, using the B&C is very satisfying to me personally, and being throughly Cheeky Lad, I do appreciate advantageious situations when they present themselves.
With Love for all,
Charles
And I hope everyone is spreading the message round the world:
A Merrily joyous, barking mad, wickedly happy Christmas to everyone who celebrates!

heheh. You probably could, although im not sure of the relevance of an oyster knife. I guess any knife would do the trick - my aunt had a tracheotomy performed on her kitchen table by a paramedic.
He didn't use an oyster knife.

I'd try the The Heimlich Maneuver first, the tracheotomy sounds a little drastic.

I would try the Heimlich maneuver first. If you're a qualified surgeon and you judge the tracheotomy necessary, feel free -- but my guess is that you wouldn't.

Personally, I would use a fish filleting knife, less mess to tidy up in my dining room. If someone is so bad mannered and wants to make a spectacle of him/herself at dinner, get a couple of men to hold them upside down (out of view of your guests of course) to dislodge whatever was stuck, then get them a taxi home and get on with your dinner party and your obligations to your guests.

You go to some posh dinner parties don't you.
Fancy having separate cutlery for Oysters?

Avoid cutting someones throat with anything. If they recover they might sue you for the scar.
I know this can happen. A friend of mine, who happens to be a fireman, tried to save someones life when they stopped breathing. Unfortunately he pressed too hard on the victims chest and broke two of there ribs. This person was brought back to life but then threatened to sue my friend for either assault or actual bodily harm.........

Why would you? Heimlich Manuever and abdominal thrusts or finger sweeps should dislodge it. If a trach had to be done, it is possible for the food to be lodged in the area you would attempt to cut through. Go to CPR class!!!

Technically, the butter knife should be used if available, however in an emergency situation, Ms. Manners beleives that any knife will suffice...

My GP once did it in a restaurant with a steak knife and a straw but he did train as a surgeon first.
