Doctors Retrieve Spoon from Man’s Esophagus — A Year After He Swallowed It
A man in China had a steel spoon lodged in his esophagus for a year, but surprisingly, the half-swallowed utensil didn’t cause too much discomfort.
The man — identified only as “Mr. Zhang” — swallowed the spoon on a dare in 2017, and it promptly got stuck in the narrow tube connecting his mouth and stomach, representatives at Xinjiang Meikuang General Hospital said in a statement.
Months passed, but the irritation wasn’t serious enough to prompt the man to seek medical attention.
