is the right move. But sometimes, the line is a little blurred when it comes to more common small objects—like Legos.
In an attempt to educate parents more on ingested objects and save them a trip to the ER, Andy Tagg, an ER doctor in Melbourne, recently took a chance on an off-the-wall experiment. Tagg, along with five other pediatric doctors, wanted to see what happened to an ingested Lego firsthand. So like any good scientist, each doctor swallowed their own Lego head and waited around to see what happened.
The doctors recorded their results, and in the end, none reported complications. Instead, they found that nature had worked its course, with each doctor finding their Lego head in their stool over an average of 1.71 days. Only one doctor mysteriously never found his. Whether he missed it in his stool or his Lego has taken up residence remains to be seen.? This, too, shall pass.
