Children sometimes swallow foreign objects like coins, small toys or beads. Though most objects are not harmful if they happen to swallow it, there are also objects that can really put their lives in danger. Some objects will just pass through the digestive system and out with the feces (human waste) without any problem. But sometimes, swallowed objects get stuck in the esophagus and may not pass into the stomach. In these cases, a doctor will need to remove the object.

The same case happened to this young boy who swallowed a peso coin in Misamis Occidental. Fortunately, he was saved by a doctor in the rural health unit in the province. By only using a catheter and syringe, the 4-year-old boy was saved from a possible danger.

The video also shows the result of the X-ray where the coin is clearly seen. The coin was stuck in his esophagus. By using a Foley catheter, Dr. Eufranist Donggon Jornales pulled out the coin out from the child's esophagus. He inflated air using a syringe and slowly pulling out the catheter. He successfully pulled out the coin, saving the life of the 4-year-old boy.

According to reports, the child will possibly undergo an operation if it wasn't pulled out, also saving them from spending money because of the probable operation.
Because of what the doctor did, many private hospitals were offering him opportunities. However, Dr. Jornales said that he will not give up his current position. He is based in the rural health unit in Don Victoriano in Misamis Occidental under the program of DOH "Doctors to the Barrio."

He also advised the parents to give attention to what their children are putting in their mouth to avoid such incident. He also reminded the public to not do this at home. Only professional doctors can do such this procedure.
