My dad is a doctor.

People come into the emergency room all the time with various objects lodged inside their butts.

A one I recall off the top of my head was a shampoo bottle. As it was inserted opening first, suction made the extraction difficult.

Like the story... it must've been full of ****!

When I worked in the ER people came in with all sorts of things there. Bottles, light bulbs, sex toys, a full sized russet potato. Strangest thing I ever heard of was a set of brass knuckles. I'd love to know the story behind that one.

I've seen urological case notes mentioning grass, wax, a squirrel tail, needles and more. My father once got a publication out of the non-surgical extraction of an ICBM - intra cystic ballistic missile. A woman had an entire .30-06 cartridge in her bladder. He said there was a moment when he was looking at the business end through the cystoscope and though "I really hope it doesn't go off. This would be an embarrassing way for me to die."

And of course, you all have heard about the guy who was went to the ER to get the cat removed?

The second time he came in for a feline removal, they asked him why on earth would he stick a cat in there a SECOND time seeing as the first time ended poorly.

"How else," he asked, "am I supposed to get the rat out??"











Ok.. that one I stole from Kevin Smith's "Mallrats" ...

No, it's an old and reasonably respected Conservative newspaper.

As others have said it's actually a common 'accident', a recent programme here called Bizarre ER listed foreign objects lodged in peoples posteriors, there were some seriously odd things and funnily enough everyone had' accidently' fallen on them, no one is going to admit to inserting them there.

Yeah, sounds a little bit dodgy to be honest. She got drunk, slipped, fell on a brush so that the handle was embedded in her buttocks: a fact that was completely missed over 2 years despite repeated complaints and x-rays? Not to mention that should be very obvious for anyone to notice: the wound with a broom handle embedded in it would be the giveaway there.

On a somewhat related note, here's an interesting X-ray from Medscape, complete with the caption below. I'm assuming it's appropriate for this site, seeing as it's only an X-ray...

"Rectal foreign bodies are typically inserted and the majority of cases are the result of erotic activity. Typically found objects are vibrators, dildoes, light bulbs, candles, shot glasses, and bottles. Some foreign bodies may be found in the rectum that were initially swallowed but then present with complications in the rectum. Patients may be very embarrassed to disclose the circumstances regarding the foreign body insertion and there may have been multiple attempts at removal. The image shown demonstrates a vibrator in the rectum along with a pair of salad tongs that became lodged after attempts at self-removal."

True 'dat. Everyone comes in with a really lame story. The four rubber fishing worms in the guy's bladder had to be the worst. He kept his fishing bait in his shorts, and the worms just "worked their way up".

Many, many years ago, I was an EMT and worked for a private ambulance company. We were in the ER for a major hospital here in Houston when an HFD ambulance rolled in and unloaded a guy screaming like mad. They ran him into the back and a little while later, the medics came out grinning. I asked them what that was all about and one of them explained that the guy had gotten drunk, picked up a girl in a bar, took her home, and then couldn't perform because of the booze.

His solution? Stiffen it up by sliding a oral fever thermometer up his johnson. And of course, it broke....

:uhohh::uhohh:

From 1,000 ways to die. Supposedly based on real stories. Some are, some seem more urban legends.

couldn't find a clip for this one....

674 Killdo Jan. 31, 2004 Jennifer's Pad, Roanoke, Virginia A nymphomaniac uses a peeled carrot as a dildo. A sharp edge on the carrot tears her vaginal wall, and the motion of masturbation forces air into the laceration, causing an air embolism in her bloodstream to rush to her heart, where it becomes lodged, blocking blood flow and killing her.

625 Midnight Choker Dec. 18, 2006 Jack's Bar, Gary, Indiana A man impresses bar patrons by swallowing a billiard ball (the 8-ball in particular) and then bringing it back up. He tries to repeat the trick with the larger diameter cue ball, but the increased size prevents the ball from passing back up his throat, choking him.

No video

510 Kill Basa Aug. 16, 1996 The Brig Disco, New Orleans, Louisiana A man who wants to sport a "large package" uses surgical tubing to tie a 12-inch kielbasa sausage to his upper thigh. Hours later, he collapses and dies from a resulting blood clot in his artery.

114 Vegged Out Aug. 13, 2004 Naperville, Illinois A gardener looks around her vegetable garden for something to practice ******** on for an upcoming date. She uses a zucchini and, when walking, steps on the blade of a hoe, causing the stick to hit the zucchini, lodging it in her windpipe and choking her.

even if they are true... they're proof positive that "they walk among us".... good Darwin Awards reading to be sure.

Having seen more than a few of these xrays over the years, I can tell you that it's very easy to tell if the toy is still "active"... if it is, the image is all blurry.

My wife used to be a coder for an ER trama Dr.
She told me of a case that the Doctor came and told her about, just for 'clarification'.

This man had been at home and walked upstairs to his wife who was in bed. He was naked and told her that they needed to rush to the hospital NOW. She grabbed his robe for him and they went. The doctor extracted two billiard balls from his rectum. The man said that he had simply been naked when he popped up ontop of the pool table to sit down.... and OOOPS..... TWO billiard balls up the schoot. The man asked the doctor to tell his wife some other story. The doctor refused and simply told the wife that "Everything came out okay." and then hand her a bag with the billiard balls in it and walk away.

I don't know what the man said to his wife after that, but I can tell you one thing.....
I bet he stinks at pool.
