Medical staff said that this was something they have ‘never seen before’
A freak accident led one Kansas teen to spend a night in the hospital after he was impaled with a pair of pliers after slipping and falling on some ice.
Joey Zeman, 15, had been helping with snow removal on Saturday when he slipped on some ice. At first, Zeman didn’t think anything of it, until he noticed that something was terribly wrong.
“Well, I got up and noticed my pliers weren’t in my pouch. And I looked down and they were inside me,” Zeman told KWCH-DT . “It tried to pull them out a couple times when I first saw they were in there. They didn’t come out. I called Mom and told her that I was on my way to the ER ‘cause my pliers were inside me.”
Alicia Zeman, Joey’s mother, initially didn’t believe her son when he said he needed to go to the emergency room, thinking it was just another one of his jokes. However, she soon realized that he was serious this time.
“I couldn’t believe it ‘cause I just thought maybe it just poked it or (there was) a little hole or something, not literally stuck in there and hanging out,” she told the station.
