    I work in X-ray. Get a foreign object like once every two weeks. Good times.

        Sorry, I meant those foreign bodies. Adults. Toys, cucumbers, etc.

          @Redditgee Hah, I figured as much, but wasn’t gonna rule out the ole ear-lego or nose-bean. Gotta wonder what the ratio of accidentally-stuck-stuff in kids:adults is 🤔 and if there’s a correlation. Maybe one grows up into the other?

            For me, adults, because we have a lockdown unit where prisoners are kept for care. That unit is a great place to be, if you’re having a hard time in prison, so you might ingest or shove something where you shouldn’t. If I go only by ER visits, I’d think it was much closer to 50/50, but I still think 60/40 adults to kids.

            EDIT - The adults risk horrifying embarrassment while the parents of the kids risk jail time if they don’t go in and something awful happens, not to mention the loss of your child, which is the main driver for most people. The adults risk death, too, but it’s their own death.
