Too bad the closed end was not towards the top -- would've made it easier to yank out.

Who knows?
What the hell!

How do you swallow a wrench that big.

I'm assuming the guy was alive, just out cold?

Anyone else see what looked like blood get smeared on the dude's lips when they pulled the far end out?

I'm guessing someone shoved it down his throat. I don't think he'd have enough self control to get it all the way down there without giving up.

Should have left it in.
It was likly only an India made wrench. Not worth retrieving.
Now if it was one of my snap on wrenches I would have cut the ******* open myself

Only on Garage Journal would I have come across something like this. Unbelievable.

Maybe the wrench came in from the other end? There are a couple of people that I've worked with that I've wanted to shove one tool or another where the sun don't shine.

I have a couple of co-workers that previously worked as medical equipment repair techs. From what they've said, it is usually a very relaxed atmosphere during procedures when the patient is under sedation. Some doctors crank music, some talk like they are hanging out at the water cooler. If you've had surgery in the past where you have been sedated and when you wake up with a song rattling in your head, that's probably why.

I guessing the lack of gloves is probably because they performing surgery and the wrench is probably the dirtiest thing involved. Would be a major no-no in most countries, others... not so much. Hopefully they at least washed their hands.

Did you check out the doctors pry bar? Was waiting for a tooth to go flying!
It's actually a laryngoscope used for Endotracheal intubation, I carry one on the ambulance and have used it quite a few times. The reason you were waiting for a tooth to go flying is because the "doctor" either doesn't know how to use it correctly or just doesn't care. You are taught to never, ever pry back like that because it will remove the front teeth in short order. At least in the U.S. the manikins you practice on before they let you loose on real people are built with a jaw clicker. If you are using the wrong technique and pry back on the teeth, they will click loudly letting you know that you just failed.
