How Yahoo Answers Saved My Life

fishboneWell I believe my life wasn’t in danger but still … Yesterday at lunch time I was eating the fish soup when suddenly I felt like I swallowed a tiny fish bone that got stuck somewhere inside my chest area. Immediately I felt panic since it was very painful. I tried to drink as much water as I could but each swallow had ended with even more pain in my chest area.

In a panic state I went back to my computer and googled for “fish bone swallowed” (thanks to Google’s search intellisense for helping me to pick the right keyword). Among first few organic search results I saw this title from Yahoo Answers: How to remove a fish bone (accidentally swallowed) in the throat? Most of the answers suggested eating a piece of bread and drinking water behind it. This is supposed to push the swallowed bone down to the stomach.  I followed this advice and felt a sudden relief from the pain!

So thanks to  Yahoo Answers for saving me from trip to the hospital. Just in case something similar happens to you always google it first for the solution.
