In a bizarre news, a man showed up in a hospital with artillery shell stuck in his rectum. Later, a bomb squad was called to the hospital in case of any mishap. We have all heard of hospital emergency room stories where people walk with all kinds of objects in their most “private places”. While some of these objects are easily removed by the doctors, others, not so much. According to a The Sun report, the UK man “slipped and fell” on an artillery shell. Later, it was reported that the ammunition was from World War 2 and the shell was a 57mm shell that was fired from anti-tank guns. Thankfully, all the protocols were followed and the situation was resolved without any mishap.
Background
The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System is a database that collects consumer product-related injuries in USA. In the database, some brutally painful incidents of objects stuck in patients’ rectums are filed as well.
While one would assume that sex-toys would be the most common objects, there are some weird, strange, and cringe worthy objects that have made it to a person’s rectums. This includes, salt shaker, hammer, wine cork, wine glass, and several other daily objects. Daily objects that have no business to be going anywhere close to a human opening.
Recently, a patient gave a hospital massive scare after he reported a bomb shell stuck in his rectum.
