    Man has munition lodged in rectum...

    "The Sun was first to report that the unnamed patient told doctors at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital that he "slipped and fell" on the two-inch-wide artillery shell.
    The media outlet reported that the shell was part of his military memorabilia collection."

    Remember the Seinfeld episode where Kramer tells them to look for the proctologist in a room full of doctors because they have the best stories.

    "Million to one shot doc, million to one."

    True story: when I was a paramedic we went to a local university classroom building, a maintenance worker was standing on a chair trying to do something to the lights. The chair was a wooden chair with two vertical wooden posts to hold the back, but the back was broken off. The guy fell backwards onto one of the vertical posts and it went right up his bunghole, work pants and all, about 8 inches. He ended up ok. Man that could have been bad.

    The British newspaper Metro reported that procedures to remove objects from patients' rectums cost the National Health Service (NHS) around £340,000 ($450,000) a year.
    Something is definitely wrong if that many folks are putting stuff up their butts...

    Figure about 20, 30 people per year in England at that cost... A lot better than in the US. When I worked in the ED, we'd see one... every 2 or 3 weeks? Just in our ED. It's an epidemic.
