Show SCREW IN LUNG 17 YEARS BALTIMORE, Md. X-rayed for tuberculosis, after she had suffered with occasional bleeding bleed-ing and deep coughing, Mrs. Myrtle Moneypenny, of Camden. W. Va., was .lrprised to be told that a half-inch, rusty screw was imbedded in her lower left lung, perhaps for the past 17 years. It was removed in a local hospital hos-pital by the use of tiny wire-operated wire-operated forceps inserted through a bronchoscope, guided into position though a biplane fluoroscope which gave the position po-sition of the screw and the forceps for-ceps from! two angles. Mrs. Moneypenny Mon-eypenny jias no recollection of how the sprew got into her lung. |
