I'm sorry, that goes where?!?!?!?

I've just been doing some reflective work - where we write about what we have seen and experienced on placements.

And I remembered one day in surgery.

There is a piece of equipment which is used to quite literally stretch the colon. It's purpose is to check that no damage has been caused during intra-abdominal surgery.

This doesn't sound too bad until you see it and the end is the size of a satsuma/well-rounded plum.
