BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Four years ago, Etienne Verhees broke two vertebrae falling off a ladder, after which doctors put a metal plate in his neck to help heal the wound.
Man coughs up screw after operation
This week, the Belgian coughed up one of four screws used to hold the plate in place.
"I have had a cold for the past few days," Verhees told daily Gazet Van Antwerpen. "I had a terrible cough a few days ago. That's when I suddenly felt something in my mouth.
"It turned out to be a screw."
One of the doctors involved told the paper he assumed the screw had moved because of an infection Verhees suffered following a second operation, which caused his neck to swell.

| That's so weird if it's true. How does any type of soft-tissue swelling have the ability to dislodge a screw? |
