so that you can swallow tablets, a Turkish woman caught a
hair comb down her throat, by chance swallowing the comb and requiring
emergency surgery for its removal.
Surgeons at Akdeniz university health facility in Antalya,
Turkey, eliminated the
7.87-inch comb, information.com.au said.
“due to a surprising involuntary gag reflex the plastic comb
passed thru her throat and ended up in her stomach,” a doctor said.
The unidentified woman fainted after the incident and her
emergency surgical procedure took forty five mins. She was released from the
hospital the next day.
“it is able to have been deadly if it lodged in her airway
and constricted her respiratory,” the medical doctor stated. “My recommendation
to all of us who has a pill lodged in their throat is to swallow a glass of
water, no longer a comb.”
