Whose bright idea was that? Doctors left stunned as man in Colombia comes into hospital with a light bulb stuck up his anus
By LUKE ANDREWS HEALTH REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM



A man in Colombia left doctors stunned after they found a light bulb stuck up his butt.

The patient, 53, who has not been named, went to a local hospital this year complaining of pain in his anus.

Doctors did not see anything during a physical examination, but were shocked when an X-ray revealed a large light bulb wedged inside him.

It was not clear how the light bulb got up there, but in previous cases, people have put items up their butts for sexual pleasure.


It was also unclear how the bulb was removed or whether the individual suffered any long-term damage.

The constipated 50-year-old, who wasn't named, was so scared of his wife's reaction he delayed seeking help for three days.

Metro that a 'whole range' of items get stuck up people's backsides.

'[We've seen] wine bottles, deodorant cans, a shower curtain rail, keys, a toy plastic snake, a gerbil — and, of course, sex toys,' she said.

Asked how they are removed, she added: 'When patients come in, sometimes it's simple to manage... requiring a bit of perseverance in [ER] with lots of lubricant and some basic instruments to grab hold of the thing and gently pull it out.

'We are very careful not to damage the very important anal sphincters.

'If it is really tricky, we may have to do this in a safer environment in theatre with the patient sedated or anesthetized and with full relaxation of the sphincters.'

In worst-case scenarios, where an object is too far up to be removed, then there might be a major operation to get the object out.

Doctors have previously warned that when objects become stuck in the rectum, they can lead to the formation of a vacuum.

This can mean that when someone pulls on an object to try to remove it, the vacuum causes it to travel up further inside them.

Watch: 'Dead' woman breathing in coffin is taken to hospital

By James Gregory
BBC News

An Ecuadorean woman has died days after mourners at her funeral were shocked to find her alive in her coffin.

Bella Montoya, 76, was first declared dead by a doctor at a hospital in the city of Babahoyo last week.

But when mourners attending her wake heard her knocking on her coffin, she was immediately rushed back to the same hospital for treatment.

After seven days in intensive care, Ecuador's health ministry confirmed she died on Friday from an ischemic stroke.

The ministry's statement added that she had remained under "permanent surveillance" while at the hospital.

Speaking to a local newspaper, her son,Gilbert Barbera said, "This time my mother really did die. My life will not be the same."

Following her death on 16 June, Ms Montoya was taken back to the same funeral home ahead of her burial at a public cemetery, local media is reporting.

Local media reported Ms Montaya had a condition called catalepsy - where a person experiences seizure, loss of consciousness, and the body becomes rigid.

A commission of experts has been assembled by the Ecuadorian health ministry to review her case.

Ms Montoya was placed in a coffin and taken to the funeral parlour in Babahoyo, south-west of capital Quito, after being declared dead on 9 June.

But after almost five hours inside, the woman gasped for air after her relatives opened the coffin to change her clothes for the funeral.

Minutes later, she was stretchered out by fire fighters and transferred back to the same hospital.
