Overview

  • Emergency surgery at Bueng Sam Phan Hospital removed a 2-cm fish bone after her third hospital visit.
  • Initial X-ray scans at two hospitals showed no foreign object, delaying diagnosis and treatment.
  • Medical experts classify the incident as “foreign body migration,” a rare phenomenon in which ingested bones traverse soft tissues.
  • Traditional home remedies like eating rice and bread may have pushed the bone deeper into her neck.
  • Her husband’s viral Facebook post has prompted public warnings about hidden fish bone hazards and the limits of standard imaging.
