Gosh char, that is so drastic. Wow it is lucky you are out from the danger.
As a Chinese I grew up with all kinds so superstitious and 'traditional' remedies. I use to learn if you choke on something and that thing can't go out or go down take a big spoon of rice and make it to a ball and then try to swallow it with the hope that the rice will push it down. Something like the bread you took.
Another trick which I find quite silly is, get someone to put a bowl on your head (facing upwards) and then take a pair of chopstick and start to knock into the middle of the bowl using the poking gesture. The louder you hit the bowl the better. The thing that got stuck will pass right through. I have never try this before. But some of my friends have swear that it will work. LOL!
