Surgeons at a London hospital have found a digital
voice recorder in a man’s anus. The patient, who had undergone laparoscopic
resection of the sigmoid colon for recurrent sigmoid diverticulitis, presented
to the hospital because of symptoms of subileus due to a recurrent high-grade
anastomotic stenosis. A computed tomography scan revealed an electrical object
that was hastily removed and, after consultation, shown to the patient, who
claimed no memory of having inserted the device himself. At his request doctors
at King’s College Hospital gave the recorder a thorough wash, purchased
suitable batteries and played it. They discovered the machine contained more than two hundred hours’ worth of improvisations for a devised theatre
show called The Eradication of Schizophrenia in Western Lapland.
