Foreign Body Extraction Success 🚑🏥⚕️
Our team successfully removed a foreign body obstruction specifically the hard part (puti) of a balut—from a patient's esophagus via endoscopy.
While balut is a well-loved delicacy, its tough portion can pose a severe choking hazard if not chewed thoroughly. Kudos to the MMGH Endoscopy Team: Dra. Dizza R. Dujali, Dra. Jen Mabilangan-Balili and Endo Staff for a swift and successful intervention!
Reminder to everyone: always take small bites and chew carefully.
