Funny story:
When I was an intern in surgery, one night a father and his son come in through the emergency door. Father says in his broken french (was foreigner): "Son Swallowed the car". After some WTF moments, he explains to me that his son has swallowed a part of a die-cast car.
So into the X-ray, and there is a nice opaque shape in his stomach. I ponder it for a while, and declare " that is a 911 door". Instant laughter in the room from my colleagues.
I say nothing, go in the exam room and ask if the car is with them. The kid produces a mint green 911 turbo from his Pocket....
Ever since, I am the (self) proclaimed expert on foreign body ID in kids...
