"As the 12-year-old fell to the ground, his chopsticks wedged into his neck"



Jun Chia was rushing across his school playground after buying a takeaway from a nearby noodle stand, when he was hit by an electric scooter ridden by one of his classmates parents.

Astonishingly, an x-ray revealed that they had caused absolutely no damage to any of his key organs.

'He was really very lucky,' medic, Zhou Jen told local media, adding that a CT scan had revealed that the chopsticks had missed the Chia's trachea, oesophagus and key blood vessels.

He underwent surgery to have them removed. (more pictures at the link)

One of those old school Chinese acupuncturists couldn't have done a cleaner job. Hope it got the kid's chi balanced in whatever meridian you use to look where you're going.
