Sounds fishy to me.

"A month later, another man from Sichuan Province in south-western China was treated in a similar case, only this time his friends inserted the live eel up his backside as a prank."
With friends like that, who needs enemas?

"It was an accident. I slipped and fell and the eel just ended up in there."
Am I close, Cindy?

So the eel is now recovering in the hospital? That's taking universal health care to the extreme.

Now his friends are hoping he'll insert an electric eel up his anus the next time. That would be a lot more fun to watch.

First World problem. As I keep reminding our son ( who has been kicking around the house because his college’s teachers have been on strike for FIVE freakin’ weeks), some children on our beautiful planet are waking up this morning and having nothing to eat but leaves. He tried jellied eels while we were in London recently and wasn’t the biggest fan.
P.S. Our son is a trombone-playing sweetheart and single.

Jeff's right. Usually they're just sitting around, minding their own business, when things like this happen. I learned to never ask questions because sometimes you're better off not knowing the answers. It really doesn't matter how it got there anyway because you're too busy trying to figure out how to remove it.

Jan in Grimsby, Both my son and wonderful daughter-in-law are trombone players. That is how they met. In youth symphony. Please encourage your son to keep playing. I'm sure it pays dividends in many ways.
As far as eels go, Ogden Nash said it best:
I don't mind eels
except as meals
and the way they feels

Jan in Grimsby--If your son can also play a trumpet and mariachi on guitar there's a band here in Roswell looking to expand. Being fluent in Gray slang and playing quantum swing would be a big plus.

The eel – a delicacy in coastal China – was eventually removed from the man’s body and he is now recovering in hospital.
I'm pretty sure this one's not a delicacy...

The hospital cafeteria took over from there.

Be careful where you sit, just saying.

Jan in Grimsby: I played trombone, plus majored in English in college. It has lead me to a wonderful career - in computer science!
Q. What did the trombonist get on his IQ test?
A. Drool.

Was it a consenting eel?
