Such a
dangerous act. A Colombian woman who had a bitter fight with her husband
angrily swallowed $7,000 in an attempt to keep the money away from his sight.
In an
interview with the local RCN television channel, the woman said she had been
saving the money for a vacation with her husband before swallowing it.
Luckily for
the 30-year-old woman, doctors at the University Hospital of Santander in
Colombia were able to extract the bills through surgery, after she swallowed
them in rolls of $100 bills.
Director of
Surgery at the University Hospital of Santander, Juan Paulo Serrano, said they
were able to surgically extract 57 $100 bills from the woman's stomach and
intestines, while other rolls would be passed through the colon.
He said the
rolls were not wrapped or packaged, which suggests they were not part of any
illegal transport and simply swallowed in an 'act of desperation.'
Did the
majority of the bills were surgically extracted from the stomach. Other rolls
would be passed through the colon, he said.
