Doctors in India recently carried out an unusual surgery to remove a 40cm bottle gourd from a farmer’s rectum.

According to India TV, the patient arrived at Chhatarpur District Hospital in Madhya Pradesh from Khajuraho on Saturday (20 July).

The 60-year-old was in critical condition, suffering from intense stomach pain.

An X-ray revealed the entire bottle gourd lodged inside the farmer’s rectum, causing significant internal damage

...

One of the surgeons involved in the operation revealed that the patient declined to disclose how the gourd came to be lodged in his rectum.

Doctors suspect that a mental health issue might be behind this bizarre incident, though they haven’t ruled out the possibility of an accident.

I'm not a doctor, but this sounds like something a doctor might consider sus.

It's worked every time for a friend of mine. He is banned from the allotment but still likes to hoover nude.

Cool.
Well, if you and I ever become friends, will you promise to give me a head's up before introducing us?

Will do, it's better done before you shake hands.
