An Illinois man landed in the Kenosha, Wisconsin hospital after a filling gone very wrong.
While the dentist was working on Tom Jozsi's tooth, Jozsi coughed and inhaled an INCH-LONG DRILL BIT!
"I didn't really even feel it going down. All I felt was a cough. When they did the CT scan they realized, you didn't swallow it. You inhaled it."
What kind of robot is this man?? He inhaled an INCH-LONG DRILL BIT and didn't even feel it!
The drill bit was lodged so deep in his lung that the doctors told him they might have to remove part of his lung.
But the medical team decided to try using a device typically used for lung cancer screenings to remove the drill bit.
Thankfully, their ingenuity paid off, and they were able to remove the foreign object with no harm to the patient.
Joszki said after the procedure,
"I was never so happy as when I opened my eyes, and I saw him with a smile under that mask shaking a little plastic container with the tool in it."
He now keeps the drill bit on a shelf at home to remind him of the harrowing experience.
