    Thank you for explaining why such accidents should never be ignored or treated too lightly. Some people might think that the guy panicked and it was not that much dangerous, but I think by getting immediate help the guy spared himself some really serious troubles. I think the worse happens when you swallow something, don't notice any alarming symptoms and just forget about it. Maybe the earbud would just come out the other end, or maybe it would stay there long enough to dissolve and cause nasty problems. I can think about one more - let's say it got into his stomach, then caused an irritation and vomiting. It could get stuck again while "going up". Ew.

      Yeah I was gonna question it but I’m a klutz, I’ve laid back in bed and dropped my phone on my face, I could see myself doing this out of sheer horrible luck.

    As soon as you mentioned the battery, it reminded me of a case where I believe a child died a few years back after swallowing a lithium battery. Internal burns and some complications I believe.

      It’s an ongoing issue. Button batteries can cause burns even after they are removed (not sure how it happens). If you ever think someone has swallowed a battery take them straight to an emergency department and don’t leave without an X-ray (& it being removed). Tell them you think it’s a battery

      @@S-rk3zsI think it’s because the fluid inside of them causes the burning (it’s highly alkaline iirc) and some would still be left even after removing the battery.

    It’s nice to see a story that gives great information on something like this while ending up being a case where the person had very minimal harm. I also like when ppl are able to make full recoveries.

      That’s the best thing to hear at the end of one of these videos. It makes me so happy. Like, it’s dire and then we get the good news and the recovery. I’ll still get sad like the rancher getting a shot of bovine antibiotics and I was like “he can make A recovery, right?” Then my heart always drops once I hear, “At autopsy” or “Unfortunately-.” I’m always going for at least “A recovery.”

    I actually had a very similar case to this a number of years ago! I (Paramedic) attended an incarcerated patient at one of the prisons in our areas that holds young offenders, the call was about severe stomach pains and they were vomiting an enormous quantity of blood. It turned out that the patient had swallowed a phone about 96 hours beforehand, I think it was something like a Samsung X830 or similar, skinny with two rows of buttons and the screen spins around to reveal them, this was during the smartphone era however they’d opted for this model in particular, I assume to get it through in one bite.
    On endoscopy it was found hadn’t gone far into their alimentary system as they were caught in the act of swallowing it in the visitor centre, the phone was retrieved however the battery had become detached from the phone and travelled beyond their duodenum requiring emergency surgery, but the pt attempted to flee from the hospital following the endoscopy procedure.
    I met the PT after they’d developed severe, painful, and persistent haematemesis a few days later. They’d been moved to a prison in my area but because of this move no referral for emergency gastrointestinal surgery had taken place or been transferred, they’d barely even discussed any of this with medical professionals before they’d already been moved into the area, and they weren’t allowed to remain in the hospital awaiting surgery because of the attempted escape; all the while the battery is getting closer to shorting or leaking and….. doing exactly what it did do….
    At this point, HM’s Prison Service were more interested in moving them elsewhere in the country than making sure they get the correct medical help for an increasingly emergent situation.
    I get that this PT brought the situation on themselves, but HM Prison Service have some answering to do too…
