the mother’s kiss technique
Filed under Humor

While doing some reading for class I came across this quote:

Mother’s kiss technique—A child presented to a clinic with a plastic bead lodged high in one nostril. The general practitioner asked the nurse for forceps, but she asked him whether he had thought of trying the mother’s kiss technique. This entailed occluding the unblocked nostril while the mother blew into the child’s mouth. The bead was easily dislodged and retrieved in this way, and mother and child were both delighted…
