Topic: I just swallowed a ring pull. Help!

[Barrowboy]

I was drinking a can of Carling whilst browsing RAWK and tweaked the ring pull off the can which promptly dropped down the inside of the can. Couple of minutes later I took a swig and felt it disappearing down my throat!

 Is there anything I should do apart from let nature take its course?

Hold a powerful magnet against your stomach and then run it up your body until it's under your chin.

Don't have a powerful magnet to hand and Mam died 5 years ago.

Am I doomed?

You have about 3 hours left.

Cheers,  la

I guess it's going to sting on the way out. Eat as much jalfrezi as you can from now until it comes out.

Fucked. Might as well end it now.

Unless one of the several hundred highly experienced doctors that have appeard on here over the weekend lives close enough to you to come round.

What thread were you reading, maybe you can sue RAWK.

Why not try and see if you could sick it up.

Although that is an incredible waiste of beer and wouldn't reccomend such thing.

If ya throat doesn't hurt, just let nature takes its cause. only 23hours and you'll be fine

[Emlyn18]

ha ha

[NickoH]

ring pull = ring sting

[GinKop]

i love threads like this...

"My Johnson is stuck in the kettle"

[leighton]

Why not try and see if you could sick it up.

and then lodge it in the throat on the way out?

[DaveLFC]

Get yourself to a&e NOW!

No, seriously get yourself to a&e.

If you're still here, why?

First instinct was to stick my fingers down and puke it out but I'm a bit of a wimp so quickly binned that idea. I think it got stuck in my chest but I've had another couple of cans since and it seems to have dropped into my stomach now (I think) so I'll wait for nature to push it out.

23 hours? Surely less than that? Usually go mid-morning after a brew and toast but am in a meeting tomorrow morning from 9.30 until noon

Can't remember, think it was one about Rafa

Any serious advice?

 There are doctors on here I'm sure. It will pass through won't it?

[El Campeador]

Thank fuck there's at least one smart fella here, even if it took 15 posts of pisstakes and even - for the love of God - "go ahead puke it back up, but don't waste the beer" 

Hope you're in hozzy by now.

[DaveLFC]

No you idiot it could cause you severe injury, get yourself to A&E NOW!!!

Who's joking? Check the Eduardo threads - seems like half the fucking NHS is posting on them.

You serious?

[lachesis]

yes he's serious. Unless when you wipe yer arse, you want a pile of blood and a split rectum to contend with.

[Barrowboy]

I can't cough it up now surely? Had a belly full of food and about 6 cans of lager so how the fuck is going to A&E going to help? Got me panicking now....

[El Campeador]

I just did a search, and yes, he's right - you best get to hospital.

Your throat may be fine (or it may not) but your stomach, intestines, and arse probably won't be.

[MomoIsBoss]

It can be potentially dangerous depending on circumstances, best going to the hozzie and asking them for advice. It could give you a genuine split arse

[DaveLFC]

You serious?

VERY serious. Go now.  few hours of messing around while they fish it out is worth it when you consider the damage it could do.

[Djibriliant]

In 24 hours that'll be coming out your rear end

Go to A&E.  Now. 

[lachesis]

Get the Royal and they'll give you an endoscopy or colposcopy depending on where it is.

Or you could fuck about in an airport security walkthrough, probably get seen to faster as well.

[DaveLFC]

They will use ultrasound (I think) and then fish it out. It could rip your intestines to bits and that could kill you.

I never cease to be amazed at how stupid people can be with their health. next time I do something dangerous to myself I'm not going to rush to hospital, i'm going to post on here for some answers. FFS.

Sue whatever the company is that makes the product in question.



It's dangerous, harmful, outrageous.

And wade through 15 sarcastic replies lol. Thank fuck he's still here - and thank fuck for you Dave.

[GinKop]

Some of them can be quite sharp, so you don't want it scraping around in you.

Better safe then sorry. Or phone NHS Direct number thingy.

[Something Else]

I would go to a&e you dont want it going all the way to your arse, as the damage it will cause in the large and small intestine is got to be not worth it

go the hozzy

[El Campeador]

Sue Coca Cola.

That'll help, since he was drinking Carling.

I honestly didn't think it'd be that serious

[lachesis]

I will always be reminded of you when I pick up a can of drink, and it says in big black letters 'Ringpull not edible'

[Garstonite]

Serves him right then.
