A lady in a care home choked on tablets alot of salavia came up she seemed ok 6 weeks later aspiration puemonia was it my fault did not phone a doctor?

Hard to say: If she only developed symptoms 6 weeks later, its hard to tell whether it was related to that choking episode. I would let the doctor know about this episode of choking and further episodes in the future. Good luck and feel good.
