A man in China\u00a0swallowed a metal chopstick while eating dinner eight years ago\u00a0 and decided to leave it lodged in his throat until a surgeon finally removed it last month, March 2026.\u00a0According to a jaw-dropping hospital case study\u00a0published in March, the alcoholic patient, identified only as Mr. Wang, went in for a check-up shortly after gulping down the five-inch utensil in 2018 but refused to have it removed.\u00a0Wang, 46, didnt want doctors to cut his neck open at the time,\u00a0so he lived with the discomfort for years, the South China Morning Post reported.\u00a0It became increasingly harder for him to swallow several weeks ago, so he asked doctors at Dalian Municipal Central Hospital in Liaoning Province to take a look.\u00a0Surgeons performed a minimally invasive operation to remove the obstructive object via Wangs mouth instead of slicing open his neck, according to the hospitals report.\u00a0He told us a chopstick was trapped in his throat, said Dr. Huang Weipeng.\u00a0I thought it happened just now, but he said this was eight years ago.\u00a0\u00a0His vocal cords and nearby mucous membrane were luckily not injured and functioned normally after the surgery, according to the report.\u00a0\u00a0Wang was discharged from the hospital days later and is expected to make a full recovery.The post Drunkard spent 8 years with metal chopstick stuck in his throat appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
