You might get lucky and it will pass through. But, it might perforate something along the way and that would be very bad news. Call your doctor.

Let me say at the outset that I'm not currently in any physical distress.
It's now 1440. I was eating a hamburger at 1415. I noticed something poking at me as I swallowed one of the first bites. It hung there for a bit. The second bite knocked whatever it was loose and it all went down. Shortly thereafter, Moose's girlfriend noticed a steel bristle on the plate on which the burgers had sat. Shortly after that, I found a 3/4 inch steel bristle in another bite and put it all together. Moose had used a steel brush to clean the grill before lighting the fire. We figure the brush shed a bit and a few bristles stuck around.
It's down in my stomach. I figure I've got about 3 hours from ingestion before it tries to pass out of the stomach. The question is what to do next.
The complication are as follows:
1) I'm 50 miles from the hospitals in downtown Cincinnati.
2) I'm supposed to be turkey hunting until Tuesday PM.
3) I'll be alone starting Sunday PM
My current plan is to leave things alone and see what happens. I did some quick reading on the Internet, and the big problem is if the booger gets stuck in the esophagus and gets out into the lung or heart. That is not a problem. Otherwise, it's a crap shoot (literally) until it decides to leave via the southern portal. I figure I'll be in the clear in 72 hours.
I'm loathe to pack up and run to town. I figure that the emergency room route is something that is best left as a last resort. I'm looking for ideas and experience. Besides being a good Methodist and praying a lot, what do you recommend?
Become a Christian?  Good fortune and God bless. Done did prayers.

It sounds like maybe somebody doesn't have health insurance...

It sounds like someone has half a brain. You, Upkiker.
Did it sound to you like Zero was a lying corksucker?

Don't get an MRI in the next few days..
I'm sure you'll be fine. As a kid I once swallowed a penny. Folks made me go through my duece for days with plastic forks. Never found that thing.
Maybe my investment is still growing?

No, you were postulating. You should have done that with the lying piece of schatt, Zero. He told you. Long way away and no symptoms. Maybe he has hemmhoroids or wants to hunt turkey or not sit in an ER room 4 hours while the Drs treat emergency colds? Did you consider he may have medicare?

Shaman, i would eat a bunch of cat head biscuits and greasy gravey and southern fried chicken. If that doesnt grease the wheels it would insure you had a great last meal

Gotta pay attention when grilling.
Had it happened to a guy I knew.
Punctured his duodenum. ( sp?)
Lots of internal bleeding
Hospitalized 6 or 7 days.

This happened on an episode of Mystery Diagnosis. The kid dang near died before they figured out what was wrong.
I would get to a doc ASAP.
I read somewhere (might have been on Cook's Country) where you should use a brush that has twisted bristles, not the straight ones that are inserted into a handle.

I'm always amazed at why people ask medical advice from strangers on the Internet instead of going to the urgent care center.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I'm always amazed at why people ask medical advice from strangers on the Internet instead of going to the urgent care center. With 63,000 members, it’s a high probability several have had the same issue. The only time I remember nobody having an answer was when BobbyBrown swallowed his red gag ball by accident during rough sex with his boyfriend. 🦫

Shaman's plight stirred an old memory of my mother telling me a story of some young relation or another (details fuzzy) that swallowed a sowing needle. This would have been WWII era. The docs solution at the time was to force the kid to eat cotton balls, and the needle passed through encapsulate in the cotton balls.
No clue if that was an old urban legend, and it's 4 am over there, so I can't ask.

Damn Shaman don't screw with this.. Seek advice at the very least with a doc and let them know about an MRI. They do stupid stuff too. It may be passed or dissolved but there may be other possibilities. Find out all possible scenarios. Make them aware of what to look for.
Don't dismiss it as routine. Hopeful for your best outcome.
