Not reported in this story is the fact that this woman has been waiting 25 years to be seen by a doctor, b/c of Brit healthcare queues.

"She was using the pen to poke her tonsils"?
Why would anyone want to poke their tonsils?

She was using the pen to poke her tonsils, examining them with a handheld mirror as she stood on stairs, a report from gastroenterologist Dr. Oliver Walters explained. While doing this, she lost her balance and stumbled down a couple steps, swallowing the pen in the process. At the time, X-rays didn’t show any evidence of the object in her stomach, and the issue was forgotten.
Weird.

Astute observation and conclusion.
She was a 51 year-old woman when she ‘swallowed’ that pen. There is no way she didn’t notice - unless she was drunk....or it was a very small pen.
FWIW I have a really tiny pen - 2.5” long - with a sharp point- the smallest I have ever seen - and it would still be impossible to swallow without choking or piercing the esophagus.

Yeah, it’s bad, but the writing equipment at the washington post has caused way more diarrhea. Oh, their writing is diarrhea. Sorry.

At least it wasn’t stuck in her uterus, or at least four states would be awarding it citizenship by now.
