This Xray from 1924 shows a crucifix wedged in a woman’s throat. According to the article that accompanies the image, the crucifix was eventually removed without surgery.
The story does not say how the Holy Object got there in the first place.
Suggestions?

WWJD?
are you sure it’s not the absinthe fairy? that jesus has very feminine curves
I suspect “Cubby” Broccoli directed this whole thing.
Personally, I’ve found the whole notion of Jesus hard to swallow.
Perhaps she was trying to commit suicide and and in doing so wanted to show this Jesus guy that he was close to her heart?
Its not like it was done by accident. When you are sticking something that big down your throat, you at least better like it.
She was in a church and tripped.
jmf: I suspect if he found himself halfway down a woman’s throat he’d hope Dad wasn’t looking.
Nurse Myra: You could well be onto something there. Or maybe it’s the Toasted Sandwich Fairy?
Jam: OK, you’ve managed to out-obscure me…
jmf: A waffer thin mint, sir?
Sirdar: I guess it could’ve been a Jesus lollipop… (OMG There is such a thing!)
Universal Head: Ah, the ol’ Vegemite Jar Excuse!
I’ve heard of people forcing religion down other’s throats, but this is ridiculous.
Maybe her Jesus was chocolate…
As usual, Tom Waits has the answer:
Don’t go to church on Sunday
Don’t get on my knees to pray
Don’t memorize the books of the Bible
I got my own special way
Bit I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more
I fall on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee’s candy store
Well it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
I’m all choked up.
MJD: Ah yes! Here was I assuming the act was self-inflicted, but indeed, it may have been a case of assault!
Colonel & Phoebe: I hope you are out right now shopping for your Lindt Jesuses for next Sunday.
Catalyst: Try gargling with some Holy Water.
Swallowed Christianity whole.
probably sallowed it!
Nikky, you’re a genius. I would never have thought of that.
