Ah here…
We’re constantly told that hospital staff have seen it all but the folks on duty at Canberra Hospital’s Emergency Department must have winced when this fella came in.
It is being reported today in Australia that a 70-year-old man had to have a 10cm fork removed from his penis recently. According to a piece in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports the man had inserted the fork in a bid for sexual kicks but it disappeared in the process, forcing the man to seek professional help.
As the stunning X-ray below shows, the piece of cutlery had completely gone from view but the X-ray allowed staff to see where it was. The missing bit of tableware was eventually removed using forceps and ‘copious lubrication’.
I think I speak for all of us when I say ‘Jaysus’.
