Florida doctors remove 8-inch screwdriver from man's rectum

Doctors removed a screwdriver from a man’s rectum after he pushed it inside himself and left it in his anal cavity for a week, according to an article in a National Institutes of Health publication aimed at warning the medical profession about such incidents.

“The patient recovered and was discharged to Behavioral Health for inpatient treatment of his psychiatric disorders,” the authors, led by Dr. Youssef Shaban, wrote in a report for Annals of Medicine & Surgery.
