Man Swallows Scissors

Chinese Man Accidentally Eats Scissors

A 27 year-old man in China accidentally swallowed a pair of scissors, but surgeons were able to successfully remove the scissors from the man's throat. The man was using the scissors as toothpicks, scraping food from his teeth after a meal. But when a friend told a joke, the man laughed and somehow managed to swallow the scissors accidentally, which became lodged in his throat, with the tips pointed upwards. The scissors began to cut into the man's throat from the inside, as he entered the hospital sweating, pale, and very nervous, with blood mixed in with his saliva. Surgeons were able to remove the scissors after about 30 minutes.
