Finding a random mag-light in a patients’ rectum might be a little unpleasant, especially when you’re having your patient bend over and a beam of light shines straight in your face coming right from this persons cornhole! In medical terms, a foreign body or object is something that is in the body but does not belong there. Small foreign bodies are pretty common, found in the ears, nose, airways, and stomach. They can irritate, eventually causing inflammation and scarring of the tissue, not to speak about the infections they might bring.
