"Unexpected Swallowing of a Knife" -- that's a grabbier title than most ones you see in medical journals.
The short item, a clinical image in this week's New England Journal of Medicine, explains that a 30-year-old woman with a history of bulimia had been bragging to friends that she no longer had a gag reflex. She put the knife into her mouth and then laughed -- at which point she swallowed the knife.

My mother used a large glass of ice water on my brothers...
just sayin’.
Ganag foreq mok nargho.
I love a sword-swallower.
Shhhhhhh, don’t tell everyone!
She’d be very popular at Delta, Dalta, Laz.
Help you? We like you just the way you are... ;-)
Fanks. I fink.
Awwww...youo’re just saying that because it’s true!
;o]
youo’re = you’re
Spelchik is my fren.
Thanks! I call myself “Tax-chick” here, but actually, that identity was overtaken by events years ago. I could more accurately call myself “Spell-chick.”
It has a certain Harry-Potterish cachet, don’t you think?
Apropos of nothing, I’m putting a little something in the mail to you today. I’ll drop it at the PO, since I also have to mail Bill’s note to old Miz McGuinness today.
And it will be 100+ degrees here in DFW the entire month of August while ColdOne and Tax-Chick are livin’ large in the high 80’s. ;p
Pray for rain ... and cheesecake.

It will be 108 here today. The moisture has finally backed off a bit, so I feel almost human!
You pray for the rain, I’ll pray for the cheesecake! ;o]
I can call you Spell-Chick...you can check the spells for proper usage. We don’t want any inadvertent “critters” running around here using our names.
You and me both...and Frank, of course.
I know how you feel. I lived in Texas for 13 years and in Oklahoma for 7. And some of those years we couldn’t even afford cheesecake.
Anoreth, I’m sure, remembers the rice-and-beans years and toast for supper. Good preparation for meals on the cutter, perhaps.
108? You guys are pikers.
:^)
My weather thang sez 111 at least for the rest of the week. My Weatherbug has been blaring a warning about “excessive Heat” since Saturday. Excessive heat? This is Phoenix. I don’t consider 115 excessive. We did get close to that yesterday....
” Try as you might, you cannot beat ‘Face’s inadvertent typo humor.
Has she pinged her lust at you yet? “
I didn’t even get a handshake : )
If you think she’s a hoot online, imagine her with a large box of cheap pink wine, a bag of pretzels, and NO Diet 7-up!
