Forgive me.. perhaps I missed something.. but what does this have to do with medical advice?
Ray just likes trolling me.
Get it right! That comment of yours to which I responded had nothing to do with medical advice to start with; I have no idea where you got the subject line from.
Perhaps you could try the archives.

Sorry if this has been discussed before. I just noticed that [[Abdominal thrusts]] gives detailed advice on how to perform a medical procedure. Maybe there are other such articles too. Given the fashionable practice of filing suit whenever a medical procedure fails to work, it seems to me that this is rather dangerous for Wikipedia. Wouldn't it be legally safer (and more likely to be medically correct) if the actual procedure in such articles was presented as a direct quotation from a named medical authority? With permission, of course. Maybe there should also be a disclaimer.

This is the Heimlich Manoeuvre and it would be very irresponsible not to have detailed advice.
A few hours after that, I wrote: <snip quote> <snip other stuff>
The last sentence of the lede,

Fred Bauder replied, silently "fixing" the word "lede", after which Steve Bennett wrote: <snip quote>
It actually can be spelt "lede".
At this point some discussion followed about whether it was a valid word or not; because he's such a fan of mine and likes to troll me, Ray dug it up again after two and a half weeks.
