Oh My, That's Not Supposed to Be There

Ladies, just because it's there, doesn't mean you should put random stuff in it...
From ER blogger Movin' Meat:
"She was brought in from the county jail by correctional officers. They were concerned about her altered mental status, and suspicious of drug use. They had a reason to think she was concealing drugs "on her person."

Um, does that mean what I think it does?

Unfortunately, yes, it did. She had been incapable of cooperating with a body cavity search due to her agitation, and in the ED she was thrashing about in four-point restraints and completely incoherent. So the ususal work-up was begun: CT scan of the brain, blood tests, etc. Also, an X-ray of the abdomen to rule out any body packing. This is what we saw:"
Check out the rest of the post for X-ray image and conclusion.
