4. Pierced heart
Last year, a teenager came into the emergency room saying that he feels a sharp pain in his chest. The discovery was astonishing: he had a sewing pin in his heart! The 17-year-old reported having pain in the chest that radiated to the back.
After a medical evaluation and a CT scan, the doctors said that there’s a ‘linear metallic object’ lodged in his heart. That tiny metallic object turned out to be a sewing pin. The doctors were able to remove the 1.4-inch sewing pin through open-heart surgery.

It was discovered that the teenager tailors his own clothes and that, sometimes, he holds sewing pins in his mouth. Thankfully, the scary surgery was a success, and the 17-year-old is perfectly fine right now. But, let’s hope that he will stay away from sewing pins.
