It was very timely the other day that one of the topics on Twitter was urban legends.
My friend told us the story of her sister and how she had this fish bone stuck deep in her throat. At past 10 that Saturday, they have gone through all the emergency rooms of hospitals and no one could take away the bone. All the ERs that they have been told them that their instruments are not capable of reaching that deep. And that this calls for an EENT's instrument. She tried calling all ERs of nearby towns but they could not promise her anything since they all tell her that they would need and EENT and his equipment for the process.
And Saturday was such a bad time for that. After the phone calls, her hubby told her why not try the cats? And she reacted: it's 2011... do you still believe that?
Urban legend says that cats have the power to remove fish bones. All you need to do is have their paws stroke the affected area and it's going to do the wonders.
So, she called her sister to tell her that it wouldn't be possible to do anything that night and they may really have to wait until the next morning.
She, then, made an appointment to a nearby town where she found an EENT working on a Sunday.
But before she called her sister, she got a text message from their mom saying that her sister is now having breakfast and the fish bone was gone.
So, she asked their mom.
What did you guys do?
Mom said, "Well, someone suggested that cat-thing. So, we had all the cat lined up (they have at least eight cats, I think) and had them stroke her throat. That's it."
