NEEDLE IN A HAYSEED
A nurse friend of mine who used to work in a Shiite hospital in the Shiite suburbs of Beirut told me that they used to receive several casualty cases a day of women who had accidentally swallowed the pin or needle that they were holding in their pursed lips whilst applying their veil.
She even knew of a doctor, in private practice, who specializes in treating such cases.
