Returning to Shanghai, Jan continued to pass a normal routine, including exercises, without realizing foreign objects in his body. So far, finally, he has not checked himself -not out of the suspicion of a spoon, but because of the fear of swallowing plastic.
The removal operation was carried out on June 18 using the endoscopic method. The initial efforts to use a special clamp failure failed, because the surface of the spoon is too slippery. The medical team finally united two tools – one to pull the spoon back into the stomach, and then the other to raise it. This complex procedure takes 90 minutes.
Ian now recovered and claimed that he was grateful for the fact that the spoon was finally found by accident before causing constant damage.
This unique event caused online discords in China. Many citizens emphasized how a reckless decision in a drunken state can lead to a hidden disaster.
One commentary said: “Again, something stupid because of the drunk. Fortunately, he had a doctor, not because of the spoon! “
