All I can say is wow. I thought the moment anyone inhaled even a particle of food, they cough uncontrollably. I wonder why it never occured to her, why she wasn't well for so long. This takes the top award for unbeleivable.

I would think that could kill you if a little bit of food aspirated into one's lung can give you pneumonia, etc.? I would say that would be a heck of a "persistent cough"?

I wonder if maybe she was in an altered state at the time, drunk or drugged or both. I can't imagine a sober person inhaling that and kinda forgetting.
Thanks for this!

Ok.....so they basically said that when they asked her she admitted she remembered inhaling a condom. How do you inhale a condom.....and then just never take care of that? In fact, how do you inhale a condom and not stop and ask yourself "why am I being treated for TB?"

Stupidity + embarrassment = condom in lung. At least I can do THAT math correctly...
Thanks for this!

I don't know, if it happened to me I'm pretty sure I would do just about anything not to tell anyone.

I cannot imagine how you could inhale a condom and not sufficate.

I'm stunned a person could function for even a second after that happened. Ever choked even on your own saliva or the slightest drop of water - makes me gasp for air. Still shaking my head on this one. I also wonder did the dude ever wonder "where did that thing go"???? This should make the Guiness Book Of Records.

But.. why didn't they x-ray her lungs if they though she had a TB (or so some test for it)?
