Stunt Of The Week (4)
What do you do when you’ve got time on your hands and fifteen eggs?
Well, according to Dutch Magazine for Healthcare, an unnamed 29-year-old man from the Netherlands came up with a novel idea.
He took the eggs out of the container and placed them in a pan of water, bringing it slowly to the boil. After four or five minutes – I guess they had to be hard-boiled – he took them out of the pan and removed the shells.
And then he proceeded to insert them, one by one, up his rectum.
In case you are tempted to emulate him, you may be interested in what happened next.
He began to feel unwell and took himself to the local hospital where he was discovered to have a heart rate of 120 beats a minute, a perforated pelvic colon and enormous amounts of air and fluids in his abdominal cavity. The medics performed an emergency laparotomy, essentially cutting through the abdominal wall to access the cavity, the eggs were removed “as well as they could” and his cavity was rinsed thoroughly.
After a short stay in intensive care he was well enough to be discharged a few days later.
A good book and an omelette next time, methinks!
