The next day Ms Almeida, from Piedecuesta, northeastern Colombia, was rushed to hospital with severe abdominal pains.
She did not tell doctors about the money, but x-rays showed dozens of 3cm-long objects in her stomach and intestine.
Doctors at the
Santander University Hospital in Bucaramanga managed to save $5,700
after cleaning and drying out the notes in the operating theatre.
Juan Pablo Serrano,
chief surgeon at the hospital, said his first they thought was that Ms
Almeida was a drugs mule as the objects in the X-ray images were similar
to bags of narcotics.
