Bronchoscope Removes Nickel From Throat Of Canyon Baby
Ray Nichol two year old son of Mr and Mrs J T Nicholson of Canyon was brought in last week for removal of a five cent piece swallowed by the child. The coin was removed in ten minutes without a knife and was found in the trachea rather than the esophagus. The case marks Amarillo’s third success with the new bronchoscope after earlier removals of an open safety pin. The instrument, brought from Germany by Dr J J Crume, demonstrated its value in 1926- era medical science.
