Influencer thought she had a cold — an X-ray revealed a prior surgical mishap: ‘They said that I could die at any second’

It’s enough to make anyone re-coil in horror.

An influencer who was suffering from cold systems was horrified after doctors discovered a metal spring in her lungs from a prior operation.

“They said that I could die at any second,” Ekaterina Badulina, 34, told local media while detailing the surgical straggler, Jam Press reported.

The Russian content creator had been experiencing a runny fever with chills, which got so bad that she feared she’d developed pneumonia.

“They [doctors] said that a spring had moved in my body from a past operation … through the bloodstream … which, apparently, I didn’t even feel,” Badulina claimed.Jam Press

Badulina rushed to the hospital, where X-rays revealed the surprising culprit.

“It turns out that in the picture the doctors saw some kind of metal spring measuring 5 by 16 millimeters, which was in the lung,” said the distraught Instagrammer, who underwent a CT scan so doctors could get a better view.

They deduced that the surgical instrument had been left from a previous procedure.

“After all the examinations, they said that a spring had moved in my body from a past operation … through the bloodstream … which, apparently, I didn’t even feel,” Badulina claimed.

When the Russian was 27, she had 33 tubes placed in her leg after suffering a thromboembolism, which occurs when a vessel gets blocked by a blood clot that’s splintered off and enters the circulating blood.

“Miraculously, I managed to survive,” said Badulina, who underwent 20 operations in one year.

However, the harrowing ordeal reared its head again when the spring resurfaced years later. Doctors told her she could pass at any moment given the coil’s precarious location in her lungs.

Thankfully, the patient managed to see the positive side of the potentially dire ordeal.

“After hearing it [the fragment] had moved, I had to take control of my thoughts and emotions,” Badulina said. “Focusing only on optimism, not fear and despondency.”

She added, “Anyone can die at any second; no one knows what will happen to them tomorrow.”
