Q: Swallowing a Chicken Bone

Ok, i'm not sure if I did but I was eating some chicken cordon bleu and found a small (like .25") chicken bone in it. I dont know if I swallowed any others but was wondering if I should go to the hospital or anything like that. I'm 6'4" weigh 300 pounds and am 22 years old.. I mean will my system digest this or should I be worried?

As long as you actually swallowed it, and its not stuck in your throat, you're fine. Its just like swallowing a coin like im sure we have all done once when we were little. Coins and the such don't digest either, they just come out when you have a bowel movement. So im sure thats what will happen to the bone if you're body doesn't digest it.
