Most Shocking X-Rays

Crime Victim

This unfortunate person was attacked with a screwdriver. Believe it or not, doctors removed the weapon - and the patient made a full recovery.

Shine a Light

Talk about shining a light in dark places. Here's a guy who stuck a flashlight up his rectum, in a (vain?) attempt at sexual gratification. It's not uncommon for doctors to encounter patients who have done similar stunts, inserting vibrators, shot glasses, lighters, and, yes, flashlights. Some, too embarrassed to explain that they can't retrieve the lost item, come in to the ER complaining only of abdominal pain. But this one hurt plenty.

Ouch!

Watch those nail guns. This worker didn't, and he wound up shooting a nail into his hand. Doctors removed it, and he was fine.

Key-Hole

Talk about losing your keys. This key belongs to man who inserted it into his rectum for who-knows-why. People who seek medical attention to remove such "lost" items often come up with flimsy excuses in a vain attempt to convince doctors they aren't to blame. Doctors say they hear things like, "I must have sat on it" or "my girlfriend got carried away." Convinced?

Recycling Gone Awry

Empty plastic bottles generally wind up in the trash. This one was recycled - into the rectum of a guy who was seeking sexual stimulation. It came out, and he was fine. No word on whether he collected the five cents.

No Running with Sharp Objects!

This scary-looking image shows what can happen when a toddler runs with a pen in his mouth. When he fell, the pen went through the inside of his upper lip - and kept going until it had reached almost to the eye socket. But he was lucky - it came out and he was fine.
