In this time of Betwixtmas, it’s common to look back on the year and ponder on things that you did well & and things you could have done better.
One thing I always look out for at this time of year is the annual list from Defector of A&E admissions due to foreign objects. No matter how bad a year one has had, it is always cheering to know that you weren’t as stupid as the people in this list.
And I thought I had an exciting life 
Just read the list. TBH, I’m speechless 
Thankfully, I’ve never had the urge to experiment like that 
My question would be how does one remove such items and keep a straight face.Then comes the does insurance even cover that.
Sorry @Mellow some more reasons to be grateful that it didn’t happen to you in 2025…
Excuse me while i 
If I’m going to look back at 2025 It wouldn’t be this. I’d rather be forward looking and thinking ahead not behind. I’ve never even heard of this word Betwixtmus. I can only say I’ve got better things to think about than this. 
Apparently some emergency departments maintain a “butt box,” where foreign objects are stored after removal. It’s also reported that “I slipped and fell on it” is the most common excuse for why objects were inserted. No one believes this excuse.
These things happen so often that it’s commonplace. As the ED staff tells folks, “If it ain’t got a flare, don’t put it up there.”
…and forgot to add one of my favorite journalist’s Year In Review for 2025.
