“He told the doctors that he has chronic hiccups that causes a constantly itchy throat. He said that he always uses the handle of a toothbrush or a fork to relieve the itching. This time, he tilted his head back and tried to scratch but he choked and ended up swallowing the dinner fork,” the surgeon told G1.
“In my 15 years of practicing medicine I have seen many cases of domestic accidents, but swallowing a large fork and still...this was the first time,” added the doctor.
