"Bomb disposal experts had to be called to a hospital in south-west France on Sunday after a patient arrived with a WWI shell lodged in his rectum. The hospital in Toulouse, southwest France, confirmed on Sunday they had treated a man who was admitted with a shell lodged in his rectum - after calling a bomb disposal team. A member of staff who insisted on anonymity confirmed the report in the local paper La Depeche du Midi."
"The patient was admitted overnight Saturday to Sunday. He told staff at Rangueil hospital that he had introduced the object into his rectum himself, the newspaper reported. The team in the operating room found themselves having to extract a "collectible shell nearly 20 centimetres long" - local media reported that it was a German artillery shell dating from the First World War. They called the bomb disposal team because of fears about the risk of an explosion."
A man was admitted overnight to a hospital in Toulouse with a 20-centimetre German artillery shell lodged in his rectum. He told Rangueil hospital staff that he had introduced the object himself. The operating room team extracted what local media described as a collectible First World War shell and called a bomb disposal unit over fears of an explosion. Firefighters were deployed to provide fire protection during the bomb disposal intervention. Emergency services confirmed that an explosive device had been neutralised. Munitions from the First World War still litter parts of northern France and remain collectors' items, but cannot be carried on the Eurostar.
