Last weekend in Toulouse, France, a man showed up at the Emergency Room of the main public hospital, complaining of severe rectal pain. The surgeon found – and extracted – a WW1 small shell dated 1918. The bomb squad was called and closed the area. Police wanted to arrest the man on possession of a category-A explosive, but the Dept of Justice eventually said that no further pursuit would be engaged since the shell was deactivated. The patient ignores how the ammunition ended up in that location.

OMG, what’s happening in France?
Not the first time apparently
Toulon: un octogénaire se présente aux urgences avec un obus dans le rectum, l'hôpital en partie évacué
L'hôpital a dû être évacué partiellement. Certains patients ont été redirigés vers d'autres hôpitaux samedi soir, en raison de cette drôle d'intervention et des risques qu'elle pouvait engendrer.

That was in the news here too. A 3,7cm shell, but it was stated to be 20cm's, so the guy had it, including the shell casing inside his rectum.
I have 2 of those little shells, including they're casings here in my collection, all inert off-course, but the 20 cm's are correct. The diameter of the little shell's too.
Some people are just off their heads I think. Mine are in my collection room upstairs, where they belong.

He is 24 years old...
This is the other article posted by Garde Ulan. A similar fact that happened in 2022.

Okay confused as it is Toulouse and I see the article is from 2022, but you posted as if it happened last weekend.
Regardless very crazy and it was on old guy in 2022 so maybe there is another young guy in Toulouse who did the same thing on the weekend? The grandson maybe

Peter, I described an incident that happened in Toulouse last weekend, involving a 24-year old.
Garde Ulan mentioned a similar fact that occurred in 2022 in Toulon (not Toulouse). The "victim" then was 88 years old.
Alles klar?

Bruno,
The wife of a good french friend of mine living near Paris, was an internal medicine specialist in a hospital...
It's incredible what she saw during her professional career, especially in emergency cases. All kinds of objects were found and extracted from this particular area of the body. Light bulbs, perfume bottles, etc. But the best part was always the explanations of how the objects ended up there all of a sudden... The best was: “I slipped in the bathroom and fell on it.”

Around 1980, I had to investigate a ‘violent’ death as part of my job. A man had died on an exercise bike...
In fact, he had fixed the bicycle in place and raised the rear wheel so that he could cycle indoors. He then attached a roller shutter rod behind the rear wheel rim and threaded it through a hole in the saddle. The rod acted like a locomotive wheel connecting rod, moving back and forth as the man pedalled... sitting... naked on the saddle. A plastic handle moved back and forth out of the saddle.
Except that, intoxicated by speed... over-revving (red zone), the wheel pin gave way, and the rod impaled the... cyclist...
Despite this feat, he never made it to the top step of the podium.
The "causes of death" were never disclosed in the newspapers.

Had a friend that was a NYC Health and Hospital officer at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan in the 1980's and 90's. He told me among the staff they had converted a secure linen closet into a makeshift private staff museum of what they had removed from patients both internally and rectally through one sort of medical intervention or another. They even gave VIP tours to visiting medical doctors and psychiatrists. Among the "artifacts" were individual standouts removed from stomachs such as $57 dollars in loose change, various assortments of nuts, bolts, screws, and washers that weighed 9 lbs, a near complete flatware service for 12, and various other objects, utensils, and oddities. Some objects were displayed in glass jars with formaldehyde. Most had a date of removal written on medical tape affixed to them. The "anal canal" collection included assorted metal, wooden, plastic, and perishable items and objects, various vibrators and dildos, multiple gerbils and hamster to include the occasional Habitrail tube or accessory, and various sized balls including at least one regulation sized soft ball. You just can't make this stuff up, people do some really strange stuff to themselves and others. Although some were removed from mental patient's stomachs, the vast majority of back door items were removed from the general public walk in or emergency room patients.
Yes indeed, Brian, and Balzac did not explore it all.

There are indeed some very disturbed people in this world.
