Medical staff had to halt the procedure, fearing a possible explosion. The hospital, unfamiliar with such protocols, immediately alerted the authorities, and around 1:40 a.m., police arrived and activated the bomb squad. The team established a security perimeter to neutralize the device so surgery could continue, though no one knew at that stage if the entire operation could blow up at any moment.

Can’t make this shit up.

“Rectum?”
“Not yet, but it’s touch and go”
Time travelers coming ahead for medical care
This feels like solid evidence that the UK medical system is going to get worse as otherwise the time traveler would just keep going further in time to get better treatment.
“Rectum!? Damn near killed 'em!!”
“Rectum!? Damn near killed us all!”
Everything’s a dildo when you’re brave enough
That’s the kinda mentality that lead to the fall of Yugoslavia
Understood that reference
I’m too stupid to be afraid to ask today, apparently. “Please” enlighten me.

IT KEEPS HAPPENING!
Come on people if you find century old ordnance in your back yard, make sure it has a flared base!
Stick with mortar rounds, not shells for infantry support guns or artillery!
The described size of the shell is interesting. “Over 3 centimeters” sounds like it could be a 3.7cm shell which were fairly common in WW1 but, none of those were “20 cm long” most being closer to 10 cm, such as the the 37mm mle.1916, the 1 pounder pom pom and the 3.7 cm TAK 1918.
Later ww2 3.7mm shells were often close to 20cm in length though.
It’s not his fault. He fell on it.
Million to one shot, doc

Great advice for the butthole-fun-curious detectorist
