DOCTOR REMOVES PLASTIC FRAGMENT LODGED IN LUNG

AMAZING: MAN HAD A 1-INCH PIECE OF FRAGMENT
OF A PLASTIC EATING UTENSIL STUCK IN HIS LUNG
RALEIGH, N.C. USA – (AP) A man who was plagued with coughing fits should be OK now that they have removed a 1-inch piece of plastic from his lung, where it had rested since he apparently inhaled it nearly two years ago while sucking down a soft drink at a Wendy's restaurant. Doctors at Duke University Medical Center say the plastic fragment of an eating utensil - with the fast-food Wendy's logo still legible on the side - was likely to blame for the coughing, fatigue and pneumonia spells that plagued the man for two years. The piece of plastic also show 'A-M-B-U-R-G-E-R-S,' as part of the Wendy's motto of "Old Fashioned Hamburgers.

The 50-year-old man said he probably inhaled it while gulping a drink from Wendy's. "I like to take big gulps of drink," he said.
Manley met with multiple doctors, who eventually determined there was a foreign object in his left lung, eventually Dr. Momen Wahidi, who mostly works with cancer patients, did the surgery and removed the mystery object. Dr. Wahidi said he will meet with Manley in a month for a checkup, but he expects a full recovery.
