A young mother died after doctors repeatedly failed to spot a six-inch long toilet brush handle embedded in her buttock.
Cindy Corton, 35, was left with the bizarre injury after a drunken fall in a friend's bathroom in 2005.
She was twice seen by hospital staff in the aftermath of the incident and an X-ray was carried out.
But an inquest heard it took Mrs Corton, of Sleaford, Lincolnshire, two years to convince doctors that the handle was lodged in flesh of her bottom.
By then what should have been a routine procedure to remove it had become much more dangerous because the handle had become embedded in her pelvis.

After two unsuccessful operations in 2007, Mrs Corton underwent further, much riskier surgery and died from massive blood loss at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre after a ten-hour operation in June last year.
Recording a narrative verdict, coroner Stuart Fisher criticised Dr Killian Mbewe, who first examined Mrs Corton at Grantham hospital.
Despite being told what had happened he simply had an X-ray taken which revealed nothing.
'It appears Dr Mbewe did not seek a second opinion,' said Mr Fisher.
'My view is that this failure to pursue further medical inquiries at this stage was a very serious error on his part.
'Had he done so and surgery had taken place I have no doubt Mrs Corton would be alive today.
'Surely if it was not picked up on the X-ray you don't abandon this woman and send her home with a few tablets.
'It was a significant foreign object. It is difficult to image anything more significant.'
Bruce Hickling, of Ruskington, Lincolnshire, told the hearing of the night the accident happened when Cindy had arrived at his home.
He said: 'She was drunk. After about an hour she wanted to go to the toilet but I had to help her up the stairs.
'Then I heard the toilet flush followed by a bang and a cry.
'I went in and saw Cindy stuck between the toilet and the wall. I tried to lift her but she was wedged tight.'
He needed the assistance of a friend to free her before calling an ambulance because she was bleeding.
'When the crew arrived they weren't very happy, they said she was drunk,' he said.
He said it was the next day when he discovered that the handle of the toilet brush was snapped off and missing.
Cindy's husband, a construction manager, is now taking legal action against United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust.
He said after the hearing: 'OK she was drunk but they didn't take her seriously. She showed them the wound but they didn't do a proper examination.
'I think it was probably down to the hospitals trying to save money and doing things as cheaply as possible.'
'Cindy got a very poor service from the NHS. I'm sure she would have got better treatment in foreign countries.'
