Today, my friend started choking while at a Hard Rock Cafe. I jumped up and tried to give her the Heimlich maneuver, only for her to throw up all over the table and stagger out of the place. I stood there as the waiter asked if I wanted to split the bill. FML
wasteroftime tells us more.
OP here! Thank you all for the praise, I honestly did not think twice when I jumped up and performed the Heimlich maneuver on her. One thing I want to make clear here was not that my situation was worse than my friends, but the fact that the wait staff had no remorse about what had just happened although they stood there and watched me save her life. Learning the Heimlich can really be life saving before you know it :)

She was probably very embrassed. I'm sure she will pay you back.

Did she happen to order the shrimp scampi?

So your friend almost died and no one seemed to care? Seriously, the world is becoming heartless by the minute.

choking is not an option for people who drink too much....sorry OP ..hope you talk your friend about bill...

personally I'd just be happy my friend stayed out of hospital or worse and just pay the bill then forget about it, my freinds are more important to me than a few dollars

17- Oh, there's no hospital in the choking game. You have four minutes, and within those four minutes, it's Heimlick or die. Another reason I agree with you though.

If she left split the bill seems unlikely...usually if they can't breath or speak then intervene if they can then this can happen...but either way you did the right thing

Hell yes split the bill! No use paying for food she couldn't keep down.

If the heimlick maneuver is done properly it causes vomiting
