From there, they were referred to DoveLewis where it was found that “Kevin needed a sedated oral exam to determine the source of his discomfort and the blood-tinged saliva they saw around his mouth,” per the release.
“The team discovered the sewing needle embedded in Kevin’s mouth, with the blunt end pressing against the base of his tongue,” the release continued before explaining that the needle was then removed.Tom Brady Never Thought He'd Be a Cat Dad — Now He Has 3 of Them "Kevin's case is an important reminder of how quickly a seemingly minor incident can turn into a critical situation," said DoveLewis Critical Care Specialist Dr. Hannah Marshall.
