Bomb Shell Stuck In Rectum An 88-year-old man left a hospital staff a bit shocked after arriving with a World War One artillery shell stuck in his rectum. The hospital called for

an evacuation due to the fear that the antique explosive might detonate. The incident took place at the Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon, Southern France. According to the French

news organization Var-Martin, the patient arrived at the hospital on the evening of December 17 in the hope the staff could remove the 8-inch artillery shell from his rectum.A

hospital spokesperson said, "An emergency occurred from 9 pm to 11:30 pm on Saturday evening that required the intervention of bomb disposal personnel, the evacuation of adult and

pediatric emergencies as well as the diversion of incoming emergencies."The hospital staff - who claimed to find unusual objects like an apple, mango, or even a can of shaving foam

inserted where they shouldn't be - were surprised as a shell in the rectum was a first for them.Fearful about what might happen next, they called in bomb experts to assess the

situation. The experts examined and stated there was little danger of the shell blowing up while being stuck in the man. Once the bomb was entirely defused, the doctors made an

incision to dislodge the weapon.To everyone's surprise, the bomb turned out to be a collector's item from World War One and was used by French troops back in the early 1900s. It

was also reported the man had put the bomb up there for sexual pleasure.Last year, a similar incident was reported at the United Kingdom's Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. A patient

arrived with an artillery shell stuck inside his bottom, fortunately, the round was not live and did not pose a danger. The hospital staff managed to get it out of the patient's

body, who was later discharged.https://www.healthick.com/news/buzz/bomb-squad-summoned-after-patient-in-uk-arrives-with-artillery-shell-stuck-in-rectum-4518992.htmlThe artillery
