      I am waiting for Cubbyemu to do an episode of a kid who was forced to swallow whole a whole plate of vegetables, and tell us what happened to his stomach.

    Thank you for explaining why such accidents should never be ignored or treated too lightly. Some people might think that the guy panicked and it was not that much dangerous, but I think by getting immediate help the guy spared himself some really serious troubles. I think the worse happens when you swallow something, don't notice any alarming symptoms and just forget about it. Maybe the earbud would just come out the other end, or maybe it would stay there long enough to dissolve and cause nasty problems. I can think about one more - let's say it got into his stomach, then caused an irritation and vomiting. It could get stuck again while "going up". Ew.

    HB is a true audiophile! He tasted his music!
    But I am glad HB is safe! Because health is more important than anything else!

    SMH. The dude is swallowing earbuds, injecting himself with horse antibiotics, overdosing on caffeine, drinking drain cleaner... He should be more careful!

    I actually had a very similar case to this a number of years ago! I (Paramedic) attended an incarcerated patient at one of the prisons in our areas that holds young offenders, the call was about severe stomach pains and they were vomiting an enormous quantity of blood. It turned out that the patient had swallowed a phone about 96 hours beforehand, I think it was something like a Samsung X830 or similar, skinny with two rows of buttons and the screen spins around to reveal them, this was during the smartphone era however they’d opted for this model in particular, I assume to get it through in one bite.
    On endoscopy it was found hadn’t gone far into their alimentary system as they were caught in the act of swallowing it in the visitor centre, the phone was retrieved however the battery had become detached from the phone and travelled beyond their duodenum requiring emergency surgery, but the pt attempted to flee from the hospital following the endoscopy procedure.
    I met the PT after they’d developed severe, painful, and persistent haematemesis a few days later. They’d been moved to a prison in my area but because of this move no referral for emergency gastrointestinal surgery had taken place or been transferred, they’d barely even discussed any of this with medical professionals before they’d already been moved into the area, and they weren’t allowed to remain in the hospital awaiting surgery because of the attempted escape; all the while the battery is getting closer to shorting or leaking and….. doing exactly what it did do….
    At this point, HM’s Prison Service were more interested in moving them elsewhere in the country than making sure they get the correct medical help for an increasingly emergent situation.
    I get that this PT brought the situation on themselves, but HM Prison Service have some answering to do too…

      I wouldn’t say a minor who just tried to smuggle a phone and reasonably tried to escape imprisonment “brought it on themselves.”

    Really appreciate the "Death From Above 1979" selection as what he was listening to--not sure if that was intentional but I loled.

    And this, folks, is why you take your behind to the hospital! Whew!
    And that battery identifier is cool, had no idea what all those numbers were for outside of the size differences. I really love learning something new every day! You picked the battery that's in my garage door opener and my doggo's collar.
    I'm sure that info just changed your life

      When I was in my 20s (in my 40s now), I had my tongue pierced and one of the metal balls came loose and I swallowed it. I wasn’t freaked out at the time because I’d had many friends who had done the same thing. As I got older, I started getting concerned, thinking that swallowing metal balls with sharp screws attached could be hazardous to my health! I took the tongue ring out after that!

      I’m sorry but in order for your nightmares to stop, you must swallow a moderately sized object in order to face your fears (in your dreams****). You won’t dream of it again, that’s unless you become addicted.
