The bomb squad was called to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital on Thursday (December 2), after a patient was admitted with a mortar shell stuck in his rectum.
Troops from 11 Explosive Ordnance Disposal Regiment rushed to the Gloucester hospital after being notified by police “that a patient had presented with a munition in his rectum.”
The man was a military enthusiast who found the shell while clearing out, but somehow “tripped” and fell onto the 57mm piece of army ordnance that landed him in hospital, according to The Sun.
