Woman swallows toothbrush.

I like the frankness of Colombia's media. From Colombia Reports:

A woman from the town of Jericho in Antioquia had to undergo surgery to remove a toothbrush from her intestines she swallowed for inexplicable reasons.

The toothbrush was stuck in the intestines of the woman after she apparently incidentally swallowed it while brushing her teeth Friday evening. The woman is not able to explain how she was able to swallow the object and whether it was because of an accident or stupidity.

Doctors in her hometown -- alarmed by the seriousness of the situation -- referred the woman to Ciudad Bolivar to undergo treatment, but the doctors there also felt incompetent to remove the toothbrush and referred the woman to a Medellin hospital.
