Question about Julia's actions *spoilers*


*spoilers below*

Would or could Kate have survived if Julia hadn't tried that tracheotomy on her??

They say that even most medical professionals should never attempt one, never mind a panicked everyday mom like her.
I know we see Kate begin to pass out, but could she have lived till the medics got there?



I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

No. She was choking to death The Heimlich Maneuver done right would have saved her.

No. She was nearly gone before Julia did something. I give her creit for at least trying. It's a shame that nobody knew about the Heimlich Maneuver at the time....
then again, there wouldn't have been a story if more people had known about it.

I agree, and it is sad that she suffers. As a mom, I can understand the guilt. I think it would eat away at any parent in that situation.. If it didn't completely drive you crazy, you'd always be wondering if you had done the right thing.
