Desperate Measures!!! See why this woman swallowed $7000

Extracted $100 bills:

Doctors at the University Hospital of Santander in Colombia have successfully carried out a surgery on a woman that swallowed $7000 during a fight with her husband.
In an interview with the local RCN television channel, the woman said she had been saving the money for a vacation with her husband before swallowing it.

According to at the University Hospital of Santander, Director of Surgery, Juan Paulo Serrano, they were able to surgically extract 57 $100 bills from the woman's stomach and intestines, while other rolls would be passed through the colon.

He said the rolls were not wrapped or packaged, which suggests they were not part of any illegal transport and simply swallowed in an 'act of desperation.'

He said the majority of the bills were surgically extracted from the stomach. Other rolls would be passed through the colon, he said.
