Toothpick Swallowing a toothpick is one thing but inhaling a toothpick through your mouth is something elce. The only way for this to happen is to be laughing with a toothpick in your mouth.For instance someone tells a funny joke so you laugh. And then another friend pats you on the back because he just walked in the door. Combined with a toothpick the results can be deadly. In this instance the hymlick maneuver doesnt work. One can only hope that the toothpick doesn't travel into the lungs.
In this case it was pretty close. On a lighter note it was pretty funny when a doctor at the hospital was looking at the x-ray upside down trying to find the toothpick. On top of that they waited six hours before they decided what to do. At least I had some fun being flown to the hospital in a helicopter. The best part of all was when I was told that I should have done my homework, by one of my teachers. Hot Wire
