A Hong Kong woman somehow swallowed her toothbrush but still managed to dial 999 and call for an ambulance, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The 42-year-old woman's brush with disaster happened on Tuesday morning when she slipped, jamming the offending 15-cm implement down her throat, the South China Morning Post said.
The instrument was eventually extracted with endoscopic surgery. "The woman is now recovering and her condition is listed as stable," a hospital spokeswoman was quoted as saying.
