Woman swallows toothbrush

[SivVulk]

KIRYAT YAM, Israel, May 19 (UPI) -- Israeli doctors say they were able to safely remove a toothbrush from a woman's stomach after she accidentally swallowed it.

Bat-El Panker, 24, came home from work May 11, and went to brush her teeth. When she bent over the faucet with the toothbrush in her mouth, she said it slipped down her throat.

Strange that the toothbrush didn't show up on xrays and it took a CT scan to find it.

Also if you're bending over shouldn't it be easier for a toothbrush to fall out of your mouth rather than down your throat?
