Why health care costs so much!
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...?ocid=msedgntp
Bomb disposal experts were called to a hospital in Gloucester, England after a man told doctors that there was a World War II anti-tank shell lodged inside of him, authorities said.
The Explosive Ordnance Disposal team (EOD) arrived at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital on Wednesday morning after hearing that "a patient had presented with a munition in his rectum," a spokesperson for Gloucestershire Constabulary told Insider.
The item had already been removed by doctors by the time the bomb squad arrived, the spokesperson added, and the EOD confirmed that the shell was "not live" and "therefore not a danger to the public."
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.
In a statement sent to Insider, Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said: "As with any incident involving munitions, the relevant safety protocols were followed to ensure that there was no risk to patients, staff, or visitors at any time."
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.

I'd like to know, not the pound amount, but how many procedures per year that equates to. Is this a big issue in Britain, occurring dozens of times per year...

Uh ........ yeah .......... sure "you fell and the foreign object slipped into your rectum" .... I'm sure emergency room people find these "accidents" to be quite common .... quite common excuses to be more precise.
That would be soooo humiliating ..... lol

I wonder what kind of puller they used.
A calf puller maybe? Or did they just bash him in the paunch with a Nurf Hammer.

Wife told me a story of somebody coming to emerg with a wedding ring stuck around his penis, not his. They could write a very entertaining book.
