IMAGINE going into hospital to have a procedure done on your leg only to have your dentures misplaced by the staff - it sounds like a real kick in the teeth, right?
Well that's exactly what happened to 86-year-old Audrey Stones when she was admitted to the Royal Bolton Hospital in the United Kingdom, where she was forced to wait in the hospital for three months until the staff finally found her missing choppers.
To make matters worse, around two months into her prolonged stay, someone else's false teeth were left on Stones' bedside table which she ended up using before realising the set did not in fact belong to her.
The hospital claimed it couldn't get a dentist to come in and make a mould for a denture replacement any sooner - one can get pretty long in the tooth hanging around in that joint.
DOCTORS were recently forced to pull 2kg of stones, bottle caps and coins from a man's stomach after he went to hospital complaining of acute belly pain.
When questioned about his bizarre collection of erroneous stomach items, the patient admitted to often swallowing coins and pebbles whenever he felt anxious.
