A 22-year-old man is in critical condition after attempting to swallow an entire burger without chewing during a meal with friends in Koropi, Greece, on Thursday (November 13). The man, whose name has not been released, is on a ventilator at G. Gennimatas Hospital after the incident caused significant damage to his vital organs.
The man began to panic and collapsed after swallowing the burger. His friends initially thought he was joking, but he soon started hitting his back against a column, likely trying to dislodge the burger. He reportedly stopped breathing for two minutes, and his airways were obstructed, leading to severe complications affecting his brain, kidneys, and other organs.
Local police are investigating the incident and are seeking footage from the restaurant to determine if anyone encouraged the man to attempt the stunt. The president of the Panhellenic Federation of Public Hospital Workers, Michalis Giannakos, expressed grave concern for the man’s condition, stating that his survival would require a miracle.
