Pen Removed from Woman's Stomach after 25 Years and Still Works

Posted: 21 Dec 2011 04:12 PM PST

A 76 year old woman accidentally swallowed a pen. She wanted a better look at her tonsils. She used a mirror and a pen, which slipped and went down the esophagus (food canal)! Doctors didn't believe her when she went to get herself checked. Furthermore, X-rays didn't show anything.

Twenty-five years later, a surgeon removed it from her and found the pen in full working order. This story has all the makings of a wonderful ad campaign for the pen manufacturer.

It's always strange to realize just how much we spend on things that we don't consider regular, heavy expenses. American pet care is a $50 billion dollar industry and growing. As infrequently as vet visits seem to come up for my family, the bill for most any procedure is at least $200. Pets are a part of the family, and I'm certainly not one to cut corners, but some of our spending is very unnecessary.
