Doctors in Shenzhen, China, recently performed an emergency endoscopy to remove a 13cm metal spoon from a woman's duodenum (part of the small intestine). She accidentally swallowed it while trying to dislodge a fish bone from her throat, but didn't bother going to the hospitaluntil four days later, because she didn't feel any pain in her stomach.
