I would have had that thing removed asap.

How do you swallow a pen at 51 years of age???

You'd be surprised at the number of RFBs we see in the ED in otherwise well-adjusted, grown men 40+ years of age.

Edit: * Rectal Foreign Bodies

I understand the "rectal foreign bodies", as I have witnessed this several times myself while working in the hospital over the last 9 years. There is some sexual fantasy at work in this situation......

But a swallowed pen??? I cannot discern any logical reason for this to take place...😕
