I lived to 34 years old, just met the spring flowers, the weekend mood is a little good, about a few friends to get together.
When I sat down, the dishes were already on the table, one of which was garlic scallops.
By definition, March is not the season to eat scallops, but my husband in line with my care and love, put a piece into my bowl.
Originally like to eat fish, I did not think, without hesitation, put up the clip into the mouth, and repeat the 34 years of practice of the magic of kung fu - chew.
With the knot in my throat rising and falling, my friends chatted enthusiastically, while I repeated the same chewing and swallowing.
Suddenly, there was a wave of pain transmitted from the throat, and my brain told me, you seem to have eaten a fishbone. At first, I didn't care, thinking that I'd had similar experiences before, but that the foreign body sensation would disappear as I continued to swallow.
However, this time it was a little different, although the diet down a lot, but the foreign body feeling has not left.
At first, I didn't want to make a sound, for fear of spoiling everyone's fun, but then the inside of my throat began to ache, and I had no choice but to tell everyone that I was stuck in the throat with a fish pointer.

The words just fell, friends coincided with a pause in the chat for a few seconds, soon, we all continue to open the rhythm of the chat, just, the topic began to focus on how to solve this fishbone stuck in the throat.
It's amazing how many times my friends have experienced this, and how many times some of them have been stuck in the throat with a fish pointer, so it's amazing.
The most incredible thing is that I'm 30 years old and this is the first time I've ever had a fish stick in my throat, and they wondered if I'd grown up overnight, which made me laugh and cry.
In the deal with fish stick in the throat this matter, I really lack of experience, only cognitive is a large number of drinking vinegar to soften the fish stick this kind of absurd imagination.
Saying is one thing, doing is another. After listening to various experiences shared by friends, I decided to start taking action.
Eating steamed buns, sweet potatoes, and tofu was the first thing I did, and in addition to the increased pain when swallowing, the fishbone in my throat didn't move at all. Immediately after that, a friend suggested eating cabbage, enoki mushrooms, leeks, and other crude fibers, and after swallowing them in large gulps, the fish splinter surprisingly hurt even more than before. Finally, I used the only cognitive - drink vinegar, a large cup of rice vinegar poured into the chest, in addition to the burning sensation coming from the stomach wall, the fish splinter stuck in the throat is still not moving.
Only, time has passed more than an hour in the new offer and repeated practice.

It was getting dark, and I, tried and failed.
Nearly in despair, decided to make a final experience to a person who grew up in the seaside born, eat fish grew up to help, so I dialed the Xiamen brother-in-law's phone.
After listening to my brief description on the phone, my brother-in-law asked a few key questions: First, what kind of fish did you eat? Secondly, how thick did you feel the fish splinter that got stuck in your throat? Third, after swallowing the food, is the pain decreasing or increasing?
After all the answers were confirmed, my brother-in-law told me decisively: don't delay, don't fantasize, go to the hospital as soon as possible to find a professional doctor to deal with.
Under the inner uncertainty and panic, my husband and I decided to take our bags and leave, and our friends' weekend party came to an end.

A doctor's visit is a bit like a child's visit to school. People like to make things easier, so naturally, they go to whichever hospital is closest.
Going out, I saw a health center nearby, went in and found a doctor, he probably asked about the symptoms, did not do a check, just said to observe a period of time and then see. As soon as he spoke, 10,000 straw horses raced through my aching throat.
After a small burst of anger I was no longer in the panic I was in before, and after a quiet moment to think, I started calling my friends at 3 public tertiary hospitals within a 5km radius to ask for a solution to my fishbone.
This time it was slightly better, and my friends at the hospitals almost invariably advised me to go to the hospital for a laryngoscopy and then manually remove the fishbone.
Unfortunately, none of the three hospitals I called offered direct laryngoscopy (an umbrella term for electronic laryngoscopy and fiberoptic laryngoscopy) in the nighttime emergency room, which meant that I had to rely on traditional indirect laryngoscopy to remove the fishbone.
With a little bit of medical background, I realized that this could be difficult.
Direct laryngoscopy, also known as direct laryngoscopy, allows the doctor to directly observe the laryngeal cavity with the help of an electronic imaging device, which can be used to perform laryngeal surgery or other laryngeal treatments, so there are two diagnostic and therapeutic roles. Indirect laryngoscopy is through the doctor with a small round mirror in the head, the use of reflective principle of focusing on the oropharynx, so as to observe the laryngopharyngeal situation, which is often used in the ENT clinic diagnostic and treatment methods.
The benefits of direct laryngoscopy are clear vision, detailed observation, diagnosis and treatment can be synchronized, but rely on professional inspection equipment, need to coordinate the operation of multiple people, the cost is more expensive. The advantage of indirect laryngoscopy is that it does not require the support of large-scale equipment, simple, operable and inexpensive, but it is more dependent on the doctor's experience and personal skills.

Continuing with the principle of proximity, I came to a provincial-level, prestigious public hospital in Shaanxi, where the ENT department is strong, and didn't have to look for acquaintances, and lined up in the emergency room, taking the elevator to the 14th floor of the inpatient hospital, where the doctor's office was located.
The hospital's ward hallways and clinics are not very well lit, and I was treated by a female doctor who looked like she was in her early 30s, and she instructed me to sit in the examination chair in the darkness, and then began to do a laryngeal checkup after disinfecting the mirrors with professional disinfectant equipment from the department of otorhinolaryngology.
After two tongue depressor examinations and one long mirror pharyngeal examination, she told me that she did not see any fishbone, not to worry about it, just go home and observe, and told me that the fishbone might go down by itself tomorrow.
For such an answer I myself is not satisfied, so I asked her, there is no good way to let the fishbone swallowed inside the stomach, think of their hospital's traditional Chinese medicine in Shaanxi is also not bad, I also casually asked if you can be stimulated through acupuncture points to get rid of the fishbone.
After listening to my question, the female doctor said in a slightly scolding tone, "How can Chinese medicine solve this problem? Just go back and observe as I said." Then she started to see another patient who walked into the consultation room.
Helplessly, my husband and I could only leave sullenly.

Is it really so unexplained to go home and observe? I could feel the hard foreign object in my throat, so why did she say I was fine just because she couldn't see it? This is not a doctor to the patient perfunctory?
Walking out of the hospital, the face is not cold willow wind, thin clothes I played a cold war, my husband proposed to work in other hospitals students call to consult, then, I dialed the phone Gou children's shoes.
Gou Tongshou is a doctor of gastroenterology in a tertiary hospital in Xi'an, these years, because of colleagues and friends to see the doctor, I have not less trouble for him, because recently he was in the field to focus on learning, at first, I did not have the good sense to bother him, but now the situation has changed, can only again harassment.
苟童鞋在电话中简明简要问清楚我的症状，然后果断建议我去西安交大二附院耳鼻喉科就诊，他可能已经想到我顾虑距离太远的问题，直截的说道："看病最讲讲找对医院和医生，你们赶紧过去，别耽了"。 The company's website is a great place to find out more about the company's services, and it's a great place to learn more about the company's services.
The strength of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University is very clear in my mind, this hospital otolaryngology head and neck surgery is the earliest discipline established in the field of otolaryngology in the northwest region, endoscopy, especially the treatment of respiratory foreign bodies at the domestic advanced level, the leading level in the northwest region.
Thinking of these, to pull out the fishbone in the throat of the determination of the more determined, at the same time can not care about the road traffic jam, time-consuming problem, we breath to drive to the Jiaotong University Second Affiliated Hospital emergency door, after a quick registration on the 12th floor of the otorhinolaryngology wards to find a doctor.

The aisles of the Second Affiliated Hospital's ward are quiet and bright, and after asking at the nurse's desk for the doctor's office, I was placed in the exam chair in the consultation room.
I was seen by a male doctor, who walked in wearing a white coat, neatly sterilized, and began examining me.
Because I was the first time I encountered the situation of stuck fishbone, my heart is full of tension, anxiety and uneasiness, coupled with my body sense of touch itself is very sensitive, when the male doctor's inspection mirror into the moment of my throat, a nausea want to vomit the impulse to come up immediately, the tongue is also not obedient to the arbitrary movement, the moment, the tears began to start from the corners of the eyes of the eyes can not be stopped out! ......
There is no way to continue, the male doctor had to stop the operation of the hands, just when he replaced the disinfection tools, I have been closed eyes opened, bright light, I saw his white coat left pocket work plate written on the word Wang Junli.
Dr. Wang Junli patiently used the indirect laryngoscope to help me see several times over and over again, and finally identified the fishbone stuck in the position of the epiglottis cartilage, he succinctly gave me the status, and then told me how to cooperate.
In fact, I'm not particularly confident in myself, in the hesitation, in the side of my husband kept giving me a boost, the thought that if you do not try to cooperate with the doctor to remove the thorns, you have to endure a whole night of pain, the timid I decided to cross my heart to try.

I put my tongue out and wrapped myself in cotton gauze and pinched it in my hand, and Dr. Wang Junli used long tweezers to slowly flick the cartilage of my epiglottis and waited for a chance for the fish splinter to emerge. But every time Dr. Wang Junli just saw the fishbone, is ready to take the hands of the time, my tongue is not obedient to the fluttering, the throat can not help but shrink up.
This two or three times down, sitting in the examination chair, I have been nervous and sweaty, nervousness, anxiety, uneasiness continue to fill my brain, the whole process of removing the thorns of the tears keep flowing out. After seeing my reaction, Dr. Wang Junli said that he would let me take a rest first, and then he walked out of the clinic.
When he came back in, he had a vial of anesthetic in his hand, and he told me to hold the anesthetic in my mouth for a few moments and then swallow it. Immediately afterward, my entire tongue was unconscious and wooden inside my mouth.
Two more attempts were made later, but both ended in failure due to the sensitive fluttering of my pharynx. Dr. Wang Junli patiently asked me if I wanted to try again, and if not, he suggested removing the stinger under an electronic laryngoscope first thing in the morning, and I told him to try one last time.
Without a doubt, the last time, I pulled my tongue to the point where it was already raw and painful, but the fishbone still could not be removed. Having no trick at all with my tactile sensitivity, I had to choose to stay up all night.

Thanks to Dr. Wang Junli's reminder, I made an appointment for an e-laryngoscopy, paid the fee at the self-service payment machine, and drove home at midnight.
I'm not sure if I've ever had a problem with the way I've been treated, but I'm sure I've had a problem with the way I've been treated, and I'm sure I've had a problem with the way I've been treated, and I'm sure I've had a problem with the way I've been treated.
Garlic and sugar swallowing method, acupressure method, vomiting method, coughing method, inverted legislation ...... Has been tossed to more than 2:00 in the morning, the fishbone in the throat is still not moving.
Looking at my husband lying down beside me, making light snoring noises, and I have a fishbone in my throat, tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.
Endless darkness, suddenly remembered the ancients once said, the spring night is worth a thousand dollars, the implication is that the spring night is wonderful, easy to pass, people infinite heart. But such a situation has an important premise, you have to be a physical and mental health of people, can not be afflicted by disease, otherwise, which have the mood and mind to feel good. For a person like me who feels pain every time I swallow, the minutes and seconds of a good night are endless suffering.
In a daze, I slept and woke up, woke up and slept again, hoping and waiting for the alarm clock to ring at 6:30, and then I got up with a carp, and went straight to the laryngoscopy room on the third floor of the outpatient clinic of the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Jiaotong University to take the stinger.
If the body has pain, it will not be able to sleep well, if people do not sleep well, the body's recovery is slow, and the pain will continue to continue, all of this is like an endless dead cycle in general, into the hard to jump out.
In the half-sleep half-awake, it is hard to wait until dawn, do not wait for the alarm clock called me, I have long been up and dressed, packing things ready to go out.
A tiny fish splinter, which 12 hours ago was in the body of a boiled scallop, after an accidental chewing, it turned out to be a part of my flesh attached on top of it, along with the physiological reaction of every swallow, it stimulates my nerve cells, challenging my tolerance .......

The staff of the Electronic Laryngoscopy Laboratory of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University starts at 8:00 every weekday, and I was at the door of the Electronic Laryngoscopy Laboratory an hour earlier. Despite the fact that it is still very early for the doctors to officially go to work, the hospital's outpatient hall and the entrance to each floor has long been lined up with a long queue of people, and when you look at the past, on the face of everyone waiting with their eyes crossed, written all the joys, anger, sadness and happiness of the world.
Just when I was waiting in line to do the electronic laryngoscope, a sister took the initiative to talk to me, when I said I do the electronic laryngoscope is to take out the throat with fish splinters, the sister sighed thoughtfully: "My son three years ago was also stuck in the fish splinter, when there was no first time to the hospital to see a doctor, we exhausted all kinds of home remedies and miracle methods, the child Suffered a lot, the fishbone still did not go down, three days after the throat is swollen, infected, and finally still looking for Jiaotong University Second Affiliated Hospital otolaryngology doctors to take out."
In the middle of the sister's speech, the doctor in the electronic laryngoscopy room has been calling my name, I went in and handed the doctor the card, did not take off his shoes, lying flat on the examination of the bed, the overhead light sprinkled down the unusually bright.
The tension, anxiety, and unease of last night seemed to be dissipating a little. I knew that in a few minutes, the foreign object (fishbone) that had been with me for 12 hours was going to be discharged through a medical device, and the pain it had caused me would slowly disappear.
When the probe of the electronic laryngoscope entered my pharynx from the nasal cavity, the doctors in the laryngoscopy room clearly located the position of the fishbone on the imaging instrument, and then used a laryngeal biopsy tool to take out a 10-centimeter-long fishbone. The doctors working in the laryngoscopy room told me that it was the first time they had seen a patient like me with a fishbone lodged in the epiglottis cartilage. I smiled at them, said thank you, looked back and watched the white fishbone fall into the palm of my hand, scrutinized it carefully, took a picture to remember it, and then left the hospital in a hurry.
Perhaps the body is too tired after a long night, and I fell asleep when I got home.
In my sleep, I saw a woman eating swordfish wontons outside of Gusu, only to see the woman chewing swordfish wontons, and the pasta swallowed a fishbone, although the fishbone is smaller, thinner, and softer than the one I took out in the morning. Only, the fish splinter poked in the woman's throat and tickled her, and even though it had been tossing her around for many days, she couldn't do anything with it.
Just look at the woman frowning, cupping her heart feel funny when I was woken up by the phone ringing, my husband asked me what I want to eat at noon? "Swordfish ravioli," I blurted out.
"You have been so miserable by the fish spines, but also dare to eat fish again?" My husband teased on the other end of the phone.
"Eat, how can not eat, you first help me pick all the fish spines clean, not can continue to eat it, hahaha ~"

Expectedly, my lunchtime meal in a little bit of fish did not have a shadow, just a bowl of spring bamboo shoots stewed bone soup on the white rice, simple, light.
In the afternoon, I went to work, sitting in front of the office computer, I knocked down this text.
Looking back on the whole thing, people for into the body of a small fish splinter, most people in the treatment of the existence of too many misunderstandings and unrealistic fantasies, those circle of friends ah, jitterbug on the popularity of the life of the hot tips are useless and even misleading suspicion.
"After finding yourself stuck in the throat by a fishbone, first of all, you should stop eating, you can try to cough and vomit the way out of the foreign body, after a few tries to feel the effect is not ideal, the need for the first time to the regular hospital to find a diagnosis of otorhinolaryngology doctors, remove the fishbone, can not be forced to swallow the food, trying to bring the fishbone into the stomach, if not, it is easy to make the fishbone deformed and stuck in the stomach. successful, it is easy to let the fishbone deformation stuck deeper, and the difficulty of the doctor to take out the thorn will also increase." Dr. Wang Junli of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University gave us these words that still ring in our ears. These words he may have to repeat many times a day to the patients, but he still gentle, patient and complete again to us.
The first experience of a fishbone stuck in the throat, despite the scare, made me realize a lot of important issues, and corrected too many of my established prejudices, and made me understand that the advice of friends and family can not replace the diagnosis of a professional doctor.
Diseases are no big or small, don't take small problems seriously and think that they will pass if you put up with them, in fact, many problems will only be delayed and hidden, rather than disappearing on their own; foreign objects don't come into people's bodies for no reason, and most of them don't have people's attention and care in certain aspects of their lives, for example, I swallowed a fish in one gulp this time, and there are also more common children's play with coins, small toys, and so on, which are swallowed by mistake; once you find a foreign object entering your body, you will be able to see the object in your mouth. Swallowing; once found that the foreign body into the body, to try to discharge, rather than hard to swallow, that will only give the burden of the digestive tract of the other organs, and then cause unnecessary trouble; see the doctor do not just figure close to find the right hospital to find the right doctor is really important, after all, the condition of the time in the constant change, may be on the road for a long time on the delay is also the loss of optimal time for treatment; lastly, but also this time I am also very deep a point of experience, is that the doctor's professional skill and experience, is the doctor's professional skill and experience, is the doctor's professional skill and experience. The last thing I learned is that the doctor's professional skills and work attitude will affect and even determine the direction of the disease, because the disease is long in the body, if the doctor to let the patient feel safe, at ease, the disease may be stabilized, and not be completely scared, triggering further deterioration of the disease.
Only when the thorns in the heart are removed will the thorns in the body feel less painful!
