The case left doctors shell-shocked... 💣

A French hospital was partially evacuated after a senior citizen arrived with a World War I artillery shell lodged in his rectum. According to a French news outlet, the anonymous senior went to Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon to remove the 8-inch artillery shell from his rectum, which he had placed inside him for pleasure.

Once it was dislodged from the man, doctors measured the shell at 8in long (20cm) and more than 2in wide (5cm). The hospital spokesperson said the man was recovering well and was in ‘good health’.
