Operation to remove light bulb from inmate's anus

MULTAN, Pakistan (Reuters) - Fateh Mohammad, a prison inmate in Pakistan, says he woke up last weekend with a glass light bulb in his anus.

On Wednesday night, doctors brought Mohammad's misery to an end after a one-and-a-half hour operation to remove the object.

"Thanks Allah, now I feel comfort. Today, I had my breakfast. I was just drinking water, nothing else," Mohammad, a grey-beared man in his mid-40s, told Reuters from a hospital bed in the southern central city of Multan.

"We had to take it out intact," said Dr. Farrukh Aftab at Nishtar Hospital. "Had it been broken inside, it would be a very very complicated situation."

Mohammad, who is serving a four-year sentence for making liquor, prohibited for Muslims, said he was shocked when he was first told the cause of his discomfort. He swears he didn't know the bulb was there.

"When I woke up I felt a pain in my lower abdomen, but later in hospital, they told me this," Mohammad said.

"I don't know who did this to me. Police or other prisoners."

The doctor treating Mohammad said he'd never encountered anything like it before, and doubted the felon's story that someone had drugged him and inserted the bulb while he was comatose.

I said all there is to be said in the title.

"It was another inmate, or those stinking coppers! Yeah, that's the ticket!"

Right.

I would be angry too if someone stuck a lightbulb in my butt.

 

[Bootstoots]

That wasn't a particularly bright idea.

 

[Syterion]

Well this raises an important question. How many prison inmates does it take to screw in a lightbulb?










I had to say it...I'm sorry.

How exactly don't you notice someone sticking a light bulb in your anus?

That's what I was thinking. Along with - How loose was his butt to not break the damn thing going in, or once inside?

 

[Godwynn]

My I'm amazed it got in there in one piece.

They were probably screwing around, and then when they figured out it wouldn't come out they probably had to call in the doctors and make up some bs story..

Does that mean that one coud still use it?

No point wasting a perfectly good lightbulb!

Glass doesn't hold smells very well, I imagine if you just hosed it off it would be fine.

 

[homeyg]

But all the crap that got into the little crevices and tiny locations might be hard to get out..

Fair enough, the glass-screw mating point might be difficult to fclean.

and bulbs do get quite warm... that would cook out the smell......

Thanks Babbler for sheding some light on this poor fellows struggle.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Well, I suppose it's good news that the region is so peaceful, quiet and boring that this gets reported.

He must be feeling light-headed.
