Bomb disposal experts were called to a hospital in Gloucester, England after a man told doctors that there was a World War II anti-tank shell lodged inside of him, authorities said.
The item had already been removed by doctors by the time the bomb squad arrived, the spokesperson added, and the EOD confirmed that the shell was "not live" and "therefore not a danger to the public."
The Sun was first to report that the unnamed patient told doctors at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital that he "slipped and fell" on the two-inch-wide artillery shell.
The media outlet reported that the shell was part of his military memorabilia collection.

Isn’t the usual protocol to place the explosive in an explosion proof container and attempt to detonate it?
WOW! 10 posts and no Seinfeld mention. The place is really slipping...

Up until recently most ED’S had trophy boards of unusual things removed from people. Either swallowed or inserted. Recently it was deemed not politically correct and taken down with great shame and apologies

Um, so the 1 thing that occurred to me that nobody has yet brought up is the question...
If the guy was wearing pants, how did it get up there without tearing his pants to shreds? The only way I can think of that the shell got up that far that he’d need help was if he was already naked from the waist down.
And what was he doing walking around naked around artillery shells?
Something tells me I really don’t want to know.

Um, how?”
By viewing the X-rays via zoom.
Not to worry, they had a newer iPhone with a high res screen.
