How many foreign bodies can you identify?
Agree a bit academic with the ‘broken’ spoon and whether to count the handle or not.
Most interesting thing was the actual objects:
- Spoon (1) (cafeteria issue – broken)
- Spoon (2) (Strong One(s))
- Parker pen with metal body (pink)
- Parker pen with metal body (blue)
- Tweezers
- Nail clippers
- Nail file (metal – with rubber handle)
- Pocket radio complete with aerial and wrist strap (still turned on!)

































I can definitely see 11. I think a lateral would help, but I need to say that the difference between 11 and 13 is a bit academic. And it’s not like you’re going to get rid of this guy’s foreign bodies and more won’t magically appear…

I say 10 and one is a Swiss Army Knife!

I think the key in deciding between 12 and 13 is whether the spoon broke pre- or post- ingestion…?
Some of them are overlying each other, so it’s hard to get a true count, but I say 13.

Not quite right, then. Missed incidental finding, and even counting broken object as two, counted third part of radio as seperate.
Was this a friend of your, @sandnsurf?

12?
Was he and extra in the pirate of the Caribbean movie when they shoot cutlery out of cannons?
My antispam word was “implant”… oh the irony

It looks like 14 to me.
That is a very overexposed film, too.

All I can identify is a broken spoon, spoon, tweezers, electronic gadget, razor, ring like object. Looks like 10 objects?

Wow!! Great case Mike

I got all nine including the wrist strap of the radio, which I thought was some kind of necklace with a metal pendant
Totally missed the doughnut in the left lower quadrant. Would have had trouble distinguishing it from normal colonic gas + fecal residue on this particular radiograph even if I had been told to look for intus.

Ugh. Imagine the pain involved!
All very interesting, sandnsurf. Great post.

This is a super fun post, I wish I found it before the answers. You should do more of these myteries.
