This is a drill

In Kristiansand, the city where I work, a man had gone through knee surgery a while ago. Recently he noticed some new pain. After some days a piece of a drill came out through his skin. It had broken off during the surgery and the surgeon had left it inside the bone, but the bone evidently did not want it. The hospital says this is not an error. It is a perfectly normal routine, although they usually inform the patient when it happens.

That's my local hospital. I've been there a couple times, but not had any drilling done, I'm happy to say.
