This is an actual KUB x-ray on a patient seen in the ED. Though some patients in this scenario will complain of constipation or rectal pain, this patient readily admitted to "an object being lodged in the rectum." The object was a can a shaving cream, minus the lid. After radiologic verification, the can was removed digitally (by the lucky intern). Fortunately there was no breach of rectal or colonic lining.
