Update: For what it's worth, police now say that the woman who swallowed her cellphone, previously reported as having swallowed it in an attempt to keep it away from her boyfriend (discussed, quite passionately, in this thread), was, in fact, apparently the victim of an assault. Maybe dame and ortho can be friends again.

Brief NYTimes article, p. A21.

Ouch, that's harsh.

So the new take is that Ortho wants to rescue the lady in question from an abusive relationship?

""It appears she didn't voluntarily swallow this phone."

Huh. I've wanted to do that to people in restaurants and movies, but I wasn't sure it was possible.

Thank God she's still alive. It did strike me at the time that something wasn't right. Folks might stab people in anger, fear and frustration, shoot shout and slap them, but you don't go swallowing their phones. Seriously.
