Patrick Maneuver
I cut the following section from the main article. It seems as it fits better in the "talk" section. --193.216.231.81 (talk) 03:12, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

In 2003 Heimlich's colleague Dr. Edward Patrick issued a press-release portraying himself as the uncredited co-developer of the maneuver. ''"I would like to get proper credit for what I've done," Patrick told me. "But I'm not hyper about it." Patrick's ex-wife Joy tells a different story: Whenever my kids would say "Heimlich maneuver," he would correct them and say, "Patrick maneuver."''

As a family member of Dr. Patrick's I take issue with the above quote and how it portrays him. He never "corrected" the kids to say "Patrick maneuver." It has always been referred to as the Heimlich maneuver by everyone in the family. It was said as a joke which everyone laughed upon hearing it. I don't think quoting an ex-wife who was in the process of divorcing him at the time is a credible source and I request that it be deleted.

Wikipedia rules for citing information about living persons state: "Controversial material about living persons that is unsourced or *poorly sourced* must be removed immediately, especially if *potentially libellous.*" I contend that this is at least potentially libellous because the author of this excerpt, I assume it is Tom Francis, quoted Dr. Patrick when he said he wasn't hyper about it (not receiving proper credit for the Heimlich maneuver), but in a gossipy, tabloid fashion, a quote from an ex-wife is thrown in to make it sound like he secretly was "hyper" about it.

Pronunciation
Why is there only German pronunciation? English pronunciation would make more sense, followed by Yiddish and only then German. 37.47.231.189 (talk) 05:20, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * How did he pronounce it? --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106;&#x1D110;&#x1d107; 04:10, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

In German, "heimlich" means "secret", so a "heimlich maneuver" is a "clandestine maneuver" to Germans, or even a "secret service". --2003:C6:3724:4BA3:1D19:EC2D:8C2B:4798 (talk) 01:59, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
