Israeli toddler swallows 32 magnetic beads and lives to babble about it

Doctors at Hadassah-Ein Kerem hospital removed 32 magnetic balls from a baby’s stomach, saving his life.

Earlier this week, a mother brought her one-and-a-half-year-old son into the emergency room due to a high fever and loss of appetite. The staff began examining the child, including screening him for the novel coronavirus. An x-ray of the lungs revealed an unexpected result: the child had lots of magnetic beads in his stomach.
