Drunkard spent 8 years with metal chopstick stuck in his throat

This gives new meaning to pain in the neck.

A drunk man in China swallowed a metal chopstick while eating dinner eight years ago —  and decided to leave it lodged in his throat until a surgeon finally yanked it out last month, according to a jaw-dropping report. 

The “alcoholic” patient, identified only as Mr. Wang, went in for a check-up shortly after gulping down the five-inch utensil in 2018 but refused to have it removed, according to a hospital case study published in March.
