Your Health
If It's Stuck"
in the Throat
Get il Out

wv IL Wv
By HERMAN NJ. pUNDEsEN. NJ. D
WHENEVER . person COM
plains Of something being stuck"
in his throat, according TO Doctor
Eric Watson Williams Of Eng
land, there is just one thing TO do,
and that is to perform what is
called endoscopy as soon as posi-
bic. This means using an instru-
ment which can be passed into the
throat. The instrument, known as
an esophagoscope, permits the
doctor TO look directly into the
esophagus.
If the object swallowed is known
to be Of metal. an X-ray may be
taken to show Its location. In such
instances, the esophagoscope ex-
animation may not be required.
Such things as bits Of bone, car
tilage, glass, buttons, may not
show in the X-ray.
Simple and Safe
The process of examination with
the esophagoscope is simple and
safe. On the other hand, to poke
blindly about trying TO remove
some object may be dangerous and
lead to damage to the tissues.
Some of the cases which Doctor
Watson Williams treated illus
trate what may occur. For ex-
ample, a man, forty-eight years
of age, complained Of difficulty in
swallowing, which became more
severe gradually over a period OF
six months. He could swallow no
solid foods, and even had difficulty
taking liquids. He also had pain in
the back. He had lost weight, but
still was not thin. An X-ray ex-
animation showed a narrowing Of
the esophagus, and a diagnosis Of
tumor Of the esophagus was made.
Then an examination was car
ried out with the esophagoscope.
This revealed the presence Of a
small piece of bone in the esop-
nagus. Inc man nad no recollec-
ton Of swallowing the piece Of
bone, which was removed, and
complete recovery rapidly fol.
lowed.
Another Case
Another patient, a woman OF
forty-nine, complained that she
had pain in the area of the right
tonsil. She had had difficulty in
swallowing solid foods for some
years. The woman was mentally
defective, and had swallowed two
hairpins. An X-ray examination
showed a tangled mass Of wire in
the throat To remove this mass,
1t was necessary to put The pa
tient to sleep with an anesthetic,
and TO employ wire cutters. OF
course, upon removal, recovery
occurred.
In a man Of fifty, a diagnosis Of
cancer of the bronchus or "wind-
pipe" was made. About six months
before, he had choked over q bone
while eating, but little attention
had been paid to this occurrence,
because he had no difficulty in
swallowing. His symptoms Of
wheeling, difficulty in breathing,
and offensive, profuse splitting had
increased during these months. An
X-ray showed some congestion in
the lung.
Bone Found
A bronchoscope was used 70 ex-
anime him. This is an instrument
made up Of tube with lights,
which can be passed into the
bronchi. A piece Of bone was found
on this examination, and was re-
moved. Considerable damage, how
ever, had occurred to the lung.
1t would appear then, that early
examination with the esophago-
scope and bronchoscope is impor-
tant in any instance in which the
presence of an object in the esop-
hagus or lungs may be suspected
