'What happens if he can't get it out? And really the answer really was, part of my lung was going to have to get removed.'
What began as a routine visit landed an Illinois man in the hospital after he inhaled the dentist's drill bit,The CT scan tells the shocking story: An inch-long dental drill bit had lodged deep in Tom Jozsi's lung.
Doctors believe that inhaling just before he coughed sent the metal object deep into the 60-year-old maintenance worker's airways."When I saw the CAT scan, and where that object is sitting, it was really far down on the right lower lobe of the lung," said Alraiyes, intervention pulmonary director at Aurora Medical Center in Kenosha."What happens if he can't get it out? And really the answer really was, part of my lung was going to have to get removed," Jozsi said.
Video of the scan showed the medical team was able to navigate the narrow airways, reach the drill piece and pull it out, without any harm to the patient.
