Woman swallows butter knife

X-rays of a 30-year-old woman after swallowing a butter knife, because something made her laugh.

Laughter was not the best medicine for a woman who stuck a butter knife down her throat. In fact, it landed her in the emergency room.

The New England Journal of Medicine published X-ray images showing the knife lodged in the 30-year-old’s esophagus.

Drs. Aida Venado and Sarah Prebil said the woman had a history of bulimia, and stuck the knife down her throat to prove to her friends that she no longer had a gag reflex because of it.

Something made her laugh, and the knife slid down into her esophagus.

She rushed to the emergency department at the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, vomiting blood and complaining of chest pain.

Doctors were able to remove the knife through an endoscopy, and the woman did not suffer any damage to her throat or stomach.

Incredibly, her husband said she had swallowed a knife four years earlier. That time, surgery was required to remove it.

The woman was transferred to a psychiatric unit after the knife was removed, Drs. Venado and Prebil said.

What's she like with blunt objects??

Now I'm one of those "blade lickers".
If you knew the price of a gram of cocaine these days you wouldn't blame me.

Seriously, when I'm cooking I sometimes lick knives and my son stands there watching and says "yeah, I know, don't ever let you catch me doing something so stupid".
It was funny the other week when I cut my tongue then said "see that's why I tell you not to do it. See how stupid it is".

Some things are just too good to waste!

Could be the answer to my poor bladder capacity, bottle it till morning and sleep undisturbed!

Oral sex with a bottle nosed dolphin??

Obviously she was trying to see how far a certain object could go down her throat without gagging, for kids shows... cause she's probably a clown or something.

Is that how yours look? Because I'd go to a doctor and have it checked out. It might be just a butter knife you have down there.
