Today, I got a one-inch fish bone stuck in my throat. I went to the doctor, who claimed he couldn't see the long white thing embedded next to my tonsil. He charged me $70, and told me to eat some bread. I had to pull it out myself with a pair of tweezers. FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Ah, it sure is nice living in Canada... What's that doc? There's a bone there? You'll take it out? Gee wilikers, thanks... How much do I owe you? Nothing? It's free? Well I'll be darned. You have a nice day too doc!

Yeah, after you've waited 14 hours and missed a whole day of work just to get in to see the doc, hopefully before they close for the day....

awe, that sucks and very dangerous! shame on that so called doctor!

This happened to me when I was younger! The whole 'roll bread up into a ball and swallow it' sounds like a plausible solution but it really doesn't help D: I had to basically shove tweezers back there and wrangle the little bastard out myself, too. I feel your pain, OP. I feel your pain.

I think I wouldve went to a different doctor! That guys a ******* idiot!

Why didn't you just do that in the first place?

I would have asked for a refund.
