5 Outrageous X-rays

We’ve heard tons of stories about doctors leaving surgical instruments inside the patients they’ve opened up. These instruments can range from scalpel blades to scissors and even forceps. Amazingly, careless surgeons and nurses don’t have any idea that they’ve left these items inside the patients, which could cause serious health problems. Despite the medical community’s attempts to discredit stories about these, there are several x-rays out there that prove these medical accidents do happen.

These stories of rusted scalpels and scissors left inside patients are no laughing matter but they aren’t exactly new to us, so seeing a couple of x-rays of these aren’t shocking anymore. But what if we tell you there are much much worse things x-rays can show you? Like, a gardening tool impaled through a person’s eye socket? Or, a bottle of gin inserted up one’s, uhm, bottom? Take a look at these 5 outrageous x-rays.
