Swallowing a Chicken Bone Posted: 07-25-04 19:56pm
Ok, i'm not sure if I did but I was eating
some chicken cordon bleu and found a small
(like .25") chicken bone in it. I dont
know if I swallowed any others but was
wondering if I should go to the hospital
or anything like that. I'm 6'4" weigh 300
pounds and am 22 years old.. I mean will
my system digest this or should I be
worried?

As long as you actually swallowed it, and
its not stuck in your throat, you're fine.
Its just like swallowing a coin like im
sure we have all done once when we were
little. Coins and the such don't digest
either, they just come out when you have a
bowel movement. So im sure thats what
will happen to the bone if you're body
doesn't digest it.
