An x-ray from the book An x-ray from the book "Stuck Up"
This embarrassing X-ray reveals a Buzz Light-rear doll — complete with its wings deployed — lodged inside a patient, the Sun reported.

The bizarre snap is one of 100 awkward ailments that feature in new book, "Stuck Up! 100 Objects Inserted and Ingested in Places They Shouldn't Be."

Doctors collected the X-ray-ted pics in an attempt to take the stigma away from such incidents so people are not afraid to seek medical help.

The book was written by doctors Marty Sindhian, Rich Dreben and Murdoc Knight. It also features patients with glasses, scissors and even a cassette tape wedged inside them.

Sindhian said: "Younger people are more likely to swallow objects, or stick them in their nose or ears. They will put everything in their mouth."

미국 의사들이 사람의 몸 안에 핸드폰, 가위, 안경, 카세트테이프, 인형 등이 들어가 있는 기이한 엑스레이 사진들을 모아 책으로 출판했다.

Marty Sindhian, Rich Dreben,  Murdoc Knight 가 쓴 “Stuck Up”이란 책에서 저자들은 어린이나 젊은이들은 어떤 것이든 삼키고 코나 귀에 붙이고 입 안으로 넣는 경우가 있다며 그런 사고를 당한 사람들이 치료를 받는 것을 겁내지 않게 하려는 의도에서 책을 발간했다고 밝혔다.
