“I would say it was more like being stabbed in the gut,” said the 31-year-old.

KING 5 reports that (http://is.gd/J7Tivj ) Wojtanowicz’s (woh-TAN-oh-witz) went to the hospital Sunday complaining of abdominal pain that wouldn’t go away despite his taking medication. Doctors found a metal bristle and performed emergency surgery.

Physicians at the hospital performed a CAT scan, and Dr. Steve Norton performed emergency surgery on Wojtanowicz, removing a thin, metal bristle from his intestinal tract.
