The Medical Detectives

Hailey's Story: Choking Hazard


Listen Later

This week on The Medical Detectives, we share Hailey’s decades-long ordeal with sudden, terrifying “stuck throat” episodes—from rural Yukon ERs and improvised home remedies, to the social anxiety of hiding her symptoms, until a late-night trip, a can of Coca-Cola, and a specialist referral finally pointed her to the right diagnosis. Along the way, we explore the highs and lows of rural medicine, the power of having a name for your condition, and how keeping it all inside can become a dangerous “new normal.” If you’ve ever felt dismissed, misunderstood, or too embarrassed to speak up, this is a must-hear reminder that finding your voice can unlock real answers.
