'I didn't really even feel it going down. All I felt was a cough. When they did the CT scan they realized, 'You didn't swallow it. You inhaled it,'' he said.
A routine trip to the dentist was anything but normal, after an Illinois man inhaled the dentist's drill bit and had to go to the hospital to get it removed last month.
"I didn't really even feel it going down. All I felt was a cough. When they did the CT scan they realized, 'You didn't swallow it. You inhaled it,'" he said. Doctors believe that Jozsi inhaled just before he coughed, sending the 1-inch bit deep into Jozsi's lung. Alraiyes and his medical team decided to try a newer device to remove the object — one that's designed for early detection of cancer.
