Lim Vanthan, 17, and his family were planting rice at the weekend near their home on the outskirts of the impoverished Southeast Asian nation's capital, when they decided to go for a swim. During his dip, Lim Vanthan caught a prized 20 cm (8 inch) fish, called kantrob in Cambodian, with his hands. But the high school student's excitement was short-lived when his catch squirmed out of his hands and jumped into his mouth, where it became stuck because of barbs running down its back. He died of suffocation before he could receive treatment at a local clinic, the newspapers said. "This is an accident, but it shows we must all be careful," concluded the Khmer-language Rasmei Kampuchea (Light of Cambodia) newspaper. "Accidents can happen at any time."
I guess they don't get ER over there, someone should have put a slit in his throat and put in a small piece of a pen to allow him to breathe. DD
I dont think so..because they were on the outskirts of the impoverished Southeast Asian nation's capital, when they decided to go for a swim and this is when it happened.....that sucks for this kid
don't know about ER, but I imagine they don't get M.A.S.H. over there. MASH trivia time: Who performed the tracheotomy guided by Hawkeye over the radio? What did he use? extra bonus: What did Hawkeye do to save a guy with a pen? And who was it? hint: It was a member of the MASH unit who was more famous in Catch-22. extra extra bonus: why was Hawkeye extra worried that a emergency procedure was needed?
extra extra extra bonus: Why is HeyP watching M*A*S*H reruns when he should be protecting his wife from WNBA wannabe lesbians*. *not there's anything wrong with that.
It was Father Mulcahy. I think he used a tube of some sort from the medical kit he had. Not sure about the other two questions...
What are the chances of this happening? The odds are precisely the same as a whale jumping on your saleboat in the middle of the ocean.
That seriously made me laugh out loud. MoBalls, c'mon bro. I ain't buying the "I was being sarcastic, too" line.
BRO, Am I ever serious....this is the hangout....I almost made the joke of him choking on a dog the day before....sorry Mulder...
