Teen Dubbed 'Batgirl' After Swallowing Earring That Made Its Way Into Her Inhaler

Here's a nightmare scenario no one ever thought to fear: what if your earring falls into your inhaler?

It's something you don't think about until you have a piece of Batman-themed jewelry lodged in your throat. But if you manage to survive the incident, you'll get a great nickname out of it.


Reddit user emdarko posted a photo to the website with this caption:

Bat earring found it's way into my inhaler.

14 hours in the ER and one surgery later, I am now known as bat girl.

Further proof/content in comments.

Here's that radiograph of her throat, complete with Batman bling:

Sure, 14 hours of surgery is a terrifying ordeal...but maybe it was all worth it for a story this good?

Reddit

Many Reddit users found the whole story pretty hilarious (since the poster turned out ok).

Emdarko then offered up even more X-rays and photos from before and DURING her operation:

This one is a bit hard to swallow....

But what became of the earring? According to emdarko, she got to keep the earring and still wears it.

But, pics or it didn't happen so...

Prove it!

Some other Redditors had been in similar situations with their own inhalers.

This is why the pharmacy gives it to you with a cap on it guys!

Reddit

And others just had experience with inhaling something other than air by mistake.

Reddit

Emdarko shared what it actually feels like to have Gotham's vengeance stuck in your throat. Turns out it's something more than a few of us have experienced with a certain brand of flavored tortilla chips.

Wow! We're all glad you're ok, emdarko. But please, be careful with what you inhale in the future.

It was recently announced that Wuthering Heights, the 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, is being adapted for the screen at Warner Bros. Pictures. The leading director is Emerald Fennell, and the casting director is Kharmel Cochrane, who was involved in the award-winning Nosferatu and Saltburn.

Lindsey Graham Sparks Fury After Suggesting That Trump Could Be The Next Pope

After President Donald Trump jokingly told reporters that he'd "like to be pope" following the death of Pope Francis, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham threw himself behind Trump's remarks, which came after Trump already raised the ire of critics for seemingly falling asleep at the Pope's funeral.

Trump said that he himself "would be my number one choice" to be the next pope after he was asked who he’d like to see become the next pontiff. That would never, ever happen—and disrespects the billions of Catholics around the world who are in mourning—but Graham suggested it was a good idea in a post on X.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.
