As someone mentioned, it's more than likely precaution. If someone came up to you and said they could deadlift 200 kilograms, and they want $500 for that, you wouldn't give the money, you would want them to prove it first. Same thing here, they listen to his story before deciding, okay, let's use this important time and resources on this guy. Which is why he was given an X-ray, so they can figure out if he's telling the truth or not.

there is a tragedy in this story. This man spent two years hoping to acquire a set of wireless earbuds. And only a pay bonus was able to finally accomplish this.
I learned just how dangerous swallowed batteries can be from a vet show when they had a case of a dog who destroyed a hearing aid and might have eaten the battery. Luckily he didn't eat the battery but the vets explained all the dangers. I think HB needs one of those lanyard things meant to hold wireless earbuds the way the wired ones are held together. 😬

I always had to swallow my vegetables whole because my mother wouldn't let me get up from the table until I ate them. The large Brussel sprouts were the most painful to swallow whole. I am waiting for Cubbyemu to do an episode of a kid who was forced to swallow whole a whole plate of vegetables, and tell us what happened to his stomach. Wait, wait, I forgot, I once ate a whole bowl of weather germ like it was a bowl of cereal. That was truly painful once it hit the colon. I almost called 911.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" said HB to himself, as he ingested his airpods.
I'm glad HB didn't end up with an obstruction from the headphone. I have Crohn's Disease and was admitted to the hospital back in March for a bowel obstruction. That was easily the most pain I have ever felt in my life, and I was unable to keep anything down, even water. They had to stick an NG tube up my nose and throat and pump my stomach for me to feel any relief.

Eric Wolfgang Nelson is a VERY multi-faceted actor - he can play anyone with any issue! Well done.

Thank you for explaining why such accidents should never be ignored or treated too lightly. Some people might think that the guy panicked and it was not that much dangerous, but I think by getting immediate help the guy spared himself some really serious troubles. I think the worse happens when you swallow something, don't notice any alarming symptoms and just forget about it. Maybe the earbud would just come out the other end, or maybe it would stay there long enough to dissolve and cause nasty problems. I can think about one more - let's say it got into his stomach, then caused an irritation and vomiting. It could get stuck again while "going up". Ew.

Between the patient actually showing intelligence (which, sad to say is a rarity in these cases) and the entire thing being an innocent accident that anyone could make if unaware, I'm glad he made a full recovery ♥

@@triv4555 it’s uncommon in a Chubby Emu video because this channel revolves around strange and interesting ER cases. “A farmer noticed a brown spot on his hand, this is how he got treatment for skin cancer” is less interesting than “a farmer tried to remove cancer with a pocket knife, this is what happened to his organs”, really it’s only interesting because it’s so much less common. Realistically this video wouldn’t have gotten made if he hadn’t found a way to spend half of the screen time talking about what could’ve happened if the patient hadn’t gotten immediate attention, it’s not an interesting case at all, the guy swallowed an earbud and had it removed at the hospital.

I actually had a very similar case to this a number of years ago! I (Paramedic) attended an incarcerated patient at one of the prisons in our areas that holds young offenders, the call was about severe stomach pains and they were vomiting an enormous quantity of blood. It turned out that the patient had swallowed a phone about 96 hours beforehand, I think it was something like a Samsung X830 or similar, skinny with two rows of buttons and the screen spins around to reveal them, this was during the smartphone era however they’d opted for this model in particular, I assume to get it through in one bite. On endoscopy it was found hadn’t gone far into their alimentary system as they were caught in the act of swallowing it in the visitor centre, the phone was retrieved however the battery had become detached from the phone and travelled beyond their duodenum requiring emergency surgery, but the pt attempted to flee from the hospital following the endoscopy procedure. I met the PT after they’d developed severe, painful, and persistent haematemesis a few days later. They’d been moved to a prison in my area but because of this move no referral for emergency gastrointestinal surgery had taken place or been transferred, they’d barely even discussed any of this with medical professionals before they’d already been moved into the area, and they weren’t allowed to remain in the hospital awaiting surgery because of the attempted escape; all the while the battery is getting closer to shorting or leaking and….. doing exactly what it did do…. At this point, HM’s Prison Service were more interested in moving them elsewhere in the country than making sure they get the correct medical help for an increasingly emergent situation. I get that this PT brought the situation on themselves, but HM Prison Service have some answering to do too…

When I was in my 20s (in my 40s now), I had my tongue pierced and one of the metal balls came loose and I swallowed it. I wasn’t freaked out at the time because I’d had many friends who had done the same thing. As I got older, I started getting concerned, thinking that swallowing metal balls with sharp screws attached could be hazardous to my health! I took the tongue ring out after that!
