An Lower Mainland man is warning people to throw out their old barbecue brushes after spending a painful B.C. Day long weekend with a piece of wire lodged in his tonsil.

Jordan Daniels, a producer of the morning show at , was at a friend香蕉视频直播檚 barbecue last Saturday night, where he bit into a burger that had a bristle in it. He said he immediately felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his throat.

香蕉视频直播淚 instantly ran to the bathroom and was spitting up blood,香蕉视频直播� the Aldergrove man said. 香蕉视频直播淚 knew it was a metal bristle from the barbecue brush. I could feel it, and I had just read something about it the other day.香蕉视频直播�

What followed was a nightmare of misdiagnosis and being treated to feel as though he was making the whole thing up.

香蕉视频直播淏y Sunday evening, the pain was still there, so I went to the ER at Langley Memorial.香蕉视频直播�

There he had X-rays done.

香蕉视频直播淚 was at the hospital for five hours. Once the doctor came and saw me, he told me I had heartburn and that I needed to take antacids. The doctor also said there was no metal showing in the X-rays,香蕉视频直播� Daniels said.

香蕉视频直播淚 was mad when I left Langley hospital because I knew there was something still in my throat.香蕉视频直播�

So he went to Surrey, where the ER was even busier.

香蕉视频直播淚t was a gong show. I waited in the ER for five hours.香蕉视频直播�

By then it was 5 a.m. He gave up and went home to sleep.

He woke after two hours and headed to a walk-in clinic in Cloverdale, still in pain. There was no wait there, but the doctor who saw him said if the X-rays from Langley showed nothing then it had likely dislodged and the pain was an after-effect.

香蕉视频直播淚 told him that something was stabbing my throat and that I could feel it with my finger. He took a look and said nothing was there.香蕉视频直播�

He decided to try his luck at a walk-in clinic in Langley.

He claims he was treated even worse there and sent away, but not before he was given what he described as disturbing advice.

香蕉视频直播淪he told me I should try and eat food to dislodge it if it was, in fact, still stuck on my tonsil. I thought, 香蕉视频直播楢re you crazy?香蕉视频直播� I was already starving myself. Imagine what damage a piece of wire could do to your insides?香蕉视频直播�

That has been the case for several Canadians who have had to have invasive surgery as a result of ingesting wire from a barbecue brush, including one who had to have a portion of her small intestine removed.

Daniels went to see his mom and asked her to feel inside his throat.

香蕉视频直播淪he felt the metal and told me I needed to get it removed ASAP,香蕉视频直播� he said.

That香蕉视频直播檚 when Daniels went to Abbotsford Hospital.

香蕉视频直播淒r. Nickel and nurse Sarb both looked and saw the metal in my mouth. I was given a numbing agent and in a matter of just two minutes the metal brush bristle was removed,香蕉视频直播� he said.

Daniels kept the bristle, which is around an inch long. He is now warning others to not use metal barbecue brushes. He also wonders what kind of damage could have been done to his insides had he swallowed the wire.

In the meantime, his co-workers are trying to get trending on social media, he said.

香蕉视频直播淣ow I can laugh, but at the time it wasn香蕉视频直播檛 a laughing matter.香蕉视频直播�

Health Canada is assessing the risks of wire-bristle brushes after nine similar injuries with the wires have been reported across Canada.

The results of that assessment are expected by the end of August and may include recall notices for certain brushes.
