A young man nearly lost his life to a toothpick he didn’t even know he had swallowed, according to a harrowing report published Wednesday in The New England Journal of Medicine.

The three-inch wood pick, from a sandwich, traveled through most of his digestive tract without doing any harm. But then it poked through the intestinal wall and pierced an artery, creating a conduit for bacteria to invade his bloodstream and damaging the artery enough to cause serious bleeding.

For nearly three weeks, his symptoms — abdominal pain, fever, distressing gut trouble — mystified doctors. By the time they figured out what was wrong, he had a potentially fatal infection. It took extensive surgery to save him.

What Hotels Need To Know About Their Legal Obligations
January 1, 2019 via Hotel Management

Being well-versed in all of the rules and regulations affecting a hotel can prevent not only expensive lawsuits, but negative publicity. That's why it's always worthwhile to educate management on what they can and cannot (or even should and should not) do, starting from federal law all the way down to brand standards and an individual property’s policies.
