i can't understand why people ask for emergency medical advice on a chat forum

 

sorry but :loopy:

i used to swallow coins for a laugh in the school dinner queue but i was in early teens not 18 months so had considerably bigger colon etc!

I once swallowed a 20p piece when using my Inhaler.

How on earth did that happen?

not going to defend this one again as i think i already did... and as it was the quickest response i could get from anyone at the time (thanks guys) i dont think it was that bad an idea. i didnt know if it was really an emergency etc.

My inhalers were in my workbag and the cap would keep coming off, because there was money in there as well a 20p peice got lodged insde the mouthpiece. Im always in a rush at work so I just picked it up without realising and inhaled.

Perhaps because it wasn't an emergency?

 

I have a 19 month old son and if you'd ever seen the size of his poos you'd know that the colon of a child of that age is more than capable of passing a ten pence piece!

 

Note the panic was from those without kids or with grown up kids who have forgot just how big little kids can poo!

well furry muff, i've never seen the poo of an 18 month old

 

having no idea of the size of the exit hole or conducting channel of the poo of an 18 month old young un, i was concerned at the idea of an 18 month old young un swallowing a 10p piece, but now i know not to worry

 

i was referring to other posts and posters too with that statement

 

the "Ooh tell me all the answers SF" post recently posted by defstef nails it for me

But the child could have vomited as well, and choked on it coming out. Just because it went down the right way didn't mean it would automatically come back the right way.
