As an X-ray tech, I’ve seen my fair share of unusual cases! One that stands out was when we had a patient come in with severe abdominal pain, and the X-ray revealed a large metal object lodged in their intestine. It turned out to be a metal toy car that a child had swallowed! The family had no idea the child had done it, and we all had a good laugh when the doctor explained it to them. It’s a reminder of how unpredictable our job can be and the surprising things we encounter on a daily basis! What about you? Any unusual cases you’d like to share?
