description One of the most common cases in practice is the possession by mentally ill and healthy people of various objects and chemicals for suicide. These observations are interesting; a sick soldier aged 21 years, with suicide intention, swallowed 32 pieces of metal nails, each of which was about 15 cm long. Taking into account our examinations and observations, for patients with mental illness who have taken foreign bodies for suicide, the type and shape of the objects taken do not play a special role. The intellectual level of individuals who took foreign bodies to commit suicide is not satisfactory. Their actions are the product of primitive thinking. This observation demonstrates a casuistic clinical case that miraculously did not end in death.
