Think a toilet-brush can get stuck up your butt?

So we had to find an interesting topic related to Health and I discovered one which in my mind was quite, "exotic".

I read this cool article

I found this article quite bizarre because the toilet-brush is one long object and that it shouldn't be too difficult to find.. What did she go for?  Did the British women go in for a check-up?  Could she just not find the pain?

In the article it states that Corton, British women, had told the doctors two years ago that she's been in constant pain and tried to convince doctors that she had a long object stuck inside of her.  There should have been a very serious procedure to remove it, but it could not be done because the top of the toilet-brush, the brush itself, was up her Pelvis. 

A couple of months later, Corton comes back to the Doctors and scheduled a 10 hour surgery to be done to this done.  However, the doctors of Queens Medical Center in Nottingham, England, was done with the surgery, Corton died due to massive blood loss.
