Pensioner 'pulled head first' into aquarium.
An elderly woman's recovering after being pulled head first into the aquarium in the waiting room at Langport Surgery. It's believed an Angel Fish which hadn't been fed since July lunged at the 79 year-old as she argued with Doctor Balai over the correct spelling of haemorrhoids.
Eye-witnesses say after several seconds of frantic splashing, the woman - known locally as Dirty Gerty from Number 30 - emerged from the water with the fish flapping around in her underwear. "No change there then" muttered one of the on-lookers as he read the surgery's 1983 February copy of Reader's Digest for the 23rd time.
The creature had to be removed surgically by a member of staff from the nearby Pendra's fish and chip shop and is now being treated for clap at Heaven's Gate.
Speaking to reporters outside the surgery, the woman - who was also dragged into the River Parrett by a pike last summer - complained that if Doctor Balai had stopped trying to be a smart arse and just written 'pile cream' on her prescription then "none of this would've happened."

Gerty, who runs the brothel at the bottom of Priest Lane, said she'd been "traumatised" by the incident and added that in future she'd be getting her drugs from "that dodgy place on Cheapside". That'll be Boots then Gerty.
A spokeswoman at Langport Surgery denied rumours that Liz and Pete Nightingale and Doctor Gibson - none of whom have been seen for years - were killed by the same Angel Fish in 2009.
