Man suffers near death for want of a bottle opener
A man surnamed Wang from Shijiazhuang, capital of Hebei province, almost lost his life on Monday when he used his teeth to open a bottle of beer.
As he levered the bottle open, a blast of gas embedded the cap in his oesophagus. Doctors at the local hospital used an electronic stomatoscope to extract the cap.
