This Is For People Who Like To Swallow Objects For Fun! (MUST READ)
42-old Horacio Rodriguez was shocked to discover the cause
of his chest pains; a toothpick lodged in his heart. He believes he swallowed
the toothpick while eating appetisers. He fell ill with a fever in January and
doctors said he had a heart infection and put him on antibiotics, but things
took a turn for the worse after he began losing weight, coughing up blood and
suffering pains so he sought a second help.
Scans revealed an object inside his heart, and surgeons at
Hospital Fernandez in Buenos Aires, Argentina, decided to operate to remove it.
They thought it might be a catheter which had been inserted when Mr Rodriguez
had a blood transfusion as a teenager.
But shockingly, during a seven hour operation, they were
stunned to find a whole toothpick in his heart, not broken and that was what
has been making him sick and losing weight. More photos...
