Enclosure, Documentation of Misrepresentation by Centers for Disease Control (CDC): http://www.circare.org/foia2/hh_cdc19911127appndx.pdf
Dr. Heimlich was appointed to serve on the Special Situations Committee at the American Heart Association (AHA) National Conference on Standards for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiac Care in July, 1985. The committee was charged, in part, to evaluate and recommend procedures for first responders (e.g., paramedics) in accidents involving near-drowning. Dr. Heimlich proposed that the Heimlich Manoeuver be adopted as an initial procedure in cases of near-drowning. Dr. Heimlich provided the committee with no credible published data to support the use of the Heimlich Manoeuver in cases of near-drowning. When the committee declined to recommend his maneuver in preference to rescue breathing and external chest compression (e.g., mouth-to-mouth / CPR), Dr. Heimlich sent a series of increasingly vitrolic letters to committee chair Joseph Ornato M.D. At the same time Dr. Heimlich filed charges of academic misconduct against Dr. Ornato with Virginia Commonwealth University, perhaps in an attempt to intimidate him. The charges were dismissed by the university and Dr. Ornato went on to a career that can only be called stellar.
Among other things, in 2004 he published the results of the Public Access to Defibrillators Trial (the PAD trial). (1) This trial helped demonstrate the potential for benefit from emergency research with waiver of informed consent.
Today Dr. Ornato is Professor and Chairman, Department of Emergency Medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University: http://www.vcu.edu/mcved/iframe/staff/ornato.htm
