After an 88-year-old Frenchman arrived at the hospital with a World War I bomb lodged in his rectum, doctors were stunned.
The unidentified senior person arrived at the Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon, France, on Saturday evening with hopes of having the artillery ball removed from his anus.
Var-Matin, a French news organization, stated that hospital staff worried the antique device would detonate upon his arrival.
The risk of the shell bursting within the man was minimal, according to bomb disposal experts who arrived at the site quickly.
Once removed from the man’s rectum, the shell was measured to be 8 inches (20 cm) long and over 2 inches (5 cm) wide. Saturday evening, the event occurred at Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon, southern France.
It is believed that the man inserted the object in his derriere for sexual pleasure.
A Hospital Sainte Musse representative stated, ‘An emergency happened between 9 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on Saturday evening, necessitating the participation of bomb disposal personnel, the evacuation of adult and pediatric emergencies, and the redirection of incoming emergencies.’
The official stated, ‘We have to employ a reactive structure to control the risk. When unsure, we took every precaution.
Detonation experts were able to reassure doctors, who were reasonably concerned for their safety if the device were to be surgically removed.
It was discovered that the bomb was a collectible from the First World War and that it was a common explosive employed by the French military in the early 1900s.
A 88-year-old Frenchman was admitted to the Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon, France, with a World War I bomb lodged in his rectum, which left the hospital’s physicians shell-shocked.
In a series of events that must have been excruciating for the elderly man, physicians eventually removed the shell.
Surgeons performed abdominal surgery to remove the shell.
Once removed from the man’s rectum, the shell was measured to be 8 inches (20 cm) long and over 2 inches (5 cm) wide.
According to a hospital representative, the patient is currently healing well and is in “excellent health.”
