fishbone stuck in throat

Freeman: He didn't say he was going there. He asked for advice on removing it from his throat. He didn't ask for the shortest route to the hospital.;)

Someone almost got killed by A marlin's bone going through their chest and arm :p (the large spiky part on the front)

So I would say more dangerous than a chicken bone

I think the real danger comes from when you ingest them (any bone), they can poke through your intestines and obviously,that can kill you. Very rare but possible. Fish bones are usually finer and thinner than chicken bones, so less likely to splinter but still painful.

Otherwise it's a choking thing.

But Le_Petit_Lapin, that's the reason dogs aren't allowed cooked bones because they splinter easily, and the symptoms often appear too late for you to fix the problem and the pooch doesn't make it. Again, it's unlikely, but can happen.
 
Definitely time to see a doctor who'll snake it out with some long tool.

In the Bible there are people who've had fish bones in their throats for many years so apparently it's torturous enough to warrant a miracle.

you could be a fishbone with a name like that :D
 
It's gone, no way it was going out by itself, it was pointing down and the more I ate the more it stuck in my throat, it was about 2 centimeters long and almost 1 centimeters was in my skin (is it called skin :confused: ) so now it's still sore because of a small wound.

I can't tell you what a relief it is :cool:

I put the bones from whatever I cook in the blender then give it to my pup. He loves the nasty mush it produces, and its good for him. :)

Drink yer own man-juice innit.

Alternatively, rub mustard on your throat where it is stuck - fixes everything I tell ya.

Dutch Guy, how did you end up getting it out? A coat hanger?

No, GP did it with small tweazers (sp?) and a thing on my tongue so he could see, I was in and out within 10 minutes.
