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.
