I bet eel regret that

Zhang Nan, 56, from Hubei province, China, was relaxing in a spa bath with live eels to let them feed on his dead skin when one started travelling up his urethra.

Dang! Zhang?

I know it's in the paper and everything so it must be true, but really?

His explanation sounds barely more convincing than all those people who turn up at A&E requiring a foreign object removing having "accidentally" sat on it - or this Indian teenager's.

When I was nursing a common job was to catheterise male patients, passing a tube up the urethra into the bladder.

It was difficult enough to do intentionally so the idea that this can happen accidentally beggars belief

There was a lovely phrase in Grays Anatomy (a standard medical text book) at the beginning of the appropriate section.

I can't remember it exactly so I will paraphrase:

 

"The ingenuity shown by some in inserting a variety of objects into certain of their orifices is surpassed only by the ingenuity shown by Doctors in removing them"

I had a camera jammed up my bell end so that they could have a look inside my bladder. It was on he end of a flexible rod thing. Slipped up there nice and easy, I hardly felt a thing. Candiru are real. I remember seeing a documentary about them on the BBC and the Brazilian surgeon who had extricated one from a guys penis still had said fish in a jar of alcohol in his surgery.

 

But your right to be sceptical Dave, whilst I've seen the eel article on many internet sites, I've not seen ONE article that gives the source of the report.

I'm not really sceptical that it happened, but I'm very sceptical that it happened by accident!
