Pin That Survived Three Years Emerges From Finger
Parcy Smith, 28, swallowed a pin during a chat with the Warlow Athletic Club three years ago. It slipped into the esophagus and lay hidden until recently, when it emerged from his right little finger’s first joint. The pin, once in his throat, caused no pain for years, until a sensation in the finger prompted probing. Smith reports only pain upon extraction, but is recovering well.
