They call them swallowers. We got them as patients in the hospital, young guys usually for us Mexican, we had to put someone on to watch them so they would not swallow the screws out of the bathroom from the toilet holder in the wall. One guy wasn’t watched properly after the GI doc had already done the procedure to remove things like that from his stomach. Brought the pt back and 2 hours later he went to the bathroom in the pt room. The sitter was supposed to watch him in the bathroom, didn’t. Somehow the guy undid the recessed inset for the toiled paper, got the screws out and swallowed them. Then he removed all the plastic stuff connected to his iv and the iv and swallowed that. Totally creepy. Psych stuff.
Yep I anticipate that pretty soon these folks wont be treated.
“Totally creepy. Psych stuff.”
Aristotle (350 BC) wrote about that. In his chapter on “depraved actions,” he mentions plucking eyelashes, eating charcoal, and homosexuality.
