        Actually, adults are more likely to pick up this style of pen, stick the cap in their mouth and bite down on it to remove the cap to write. Then hold it in their mouth while they write. They then might cough, sneeze, try to talk, or get bumped and then the cap would get lodged in their airway.

        When I was a medic, this was actually something we discussed in continuing education EMS classes/seminars a few times. I personally never needed to ever extract a Bic cap though.

        If only. Babies don’t hate, they just poop, cry, and eat.

        I wish more people did that instead of what they actually do
