Thoughts and prayers for the one patient for whom it actually was a freak accident

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 27 points 2 months ago

Fun fact: If you actually fell and landed on something with enough force to make it's way inside of you the object would quite literally rip your asshole. When it's a true accident, it's very clear due to the blood loss and whatnot

Probably the priest who fell on a potato while cooking naked

[–] Deepus@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How'd you know he was a priest if he was naked?

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 months ago

He was praying when it happened. "Oh my god"

Reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld when Frank gets a pasta statue stuck up his ass

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Million-to-one shot, doc!

[–] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 89 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If i ever get something stuck up my ass while trying to pleasure myself and need medical help to remove it, I will absolutely try to come up with the most convoluted and ridiculous story for how it got there. Not out of embarrasment, but just to give the ER nurses a good laugh.

This sign is bullshit, I accidentally put my prostate massager in my butt all the time, sometimes twice in one day.

[–] li10@feddit.uk 67 points 2 months ago (4 children)

who tf putting a key up there?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 66 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Sorry, I thought it would unlock it so I could get all the other items out. Guess it was the wrong key though.. ☹️

[–] geogle@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)
[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

No, it got stuck because it's dark, so I had to look for it with my flashlight.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

It jingles when I fart. Also there's this weird squeaky sound.

On an unrelated note, I can't seem to find my rubber duckie...

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

consider putting a magnet up there to get the key

Where else can you store them while swimming?

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 13 points 2 months ago

Ah the old prison wallet. Classic.

[–] Eyeuhnluuung@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I work in a ER and can assure you people high on meth put all sorts of crazy shit in their butt.

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 17 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Dare I ask, why? I mean obviously meth addicts aren't known for their shrewd decisions in general, but is there some sensory or cognitive change in particular that compels them to put foreign objects in their butts more than say, alcoholics would?

[–] Eyeuhnluuung@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Mainly the intense drive for sexual stimulation on meth combined with disinhibition and just general bad decision making.

[–] themoken@startrek.website 4 points 2 months ago

Also curious. Possibly just sex / masturbation getting out of hand with intense stimulants, or maybe meth induced paranoia makes putting something in your ass for safe keeping seem reasonable... Meth heads generally aren't hanging out in the safest conditions.

I heard about a guy once, who was a POW, and his friend wanted him to keep a watch for his son so he shoved it way up there.

The reference for the younger among us.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago

This sign was made by someone who's never wiped with single-ply before.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago (3 children)

...and I got news for you, if someone is trying to get you to pull marbles out their ass, then that's their fetish... Because no one is worried that small marble sized balls won't eventually come out naturally... They're looking to bring attention that they're up there (and possibly to get someone to try to get them out). People are weird.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 30 points 2 months ago

Given US healthcare, that's gotta be more expensive than a leather fetish.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Speaking from experience? 🤔

[–] Neon@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dude, if I have anything up my ass, I'm going to the hospital asap.

"it's going to come out anyway" sounds like Darwin-award last words

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I mean, if you cannot pass marbles naturally, you might have other issues a doc should take a look at.

[–] Cagi@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

"Million to one shot, doc"

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 5 points 2 months ago

It was a fusilli Jerry

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 24 points 2 months ago

"We are discreet. But we also think it's funny."

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

... that sign ... they just kept it because it seemed funny after they retrieved it from a pacient.

[–] don@lemm.ee 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because pineapples are a bit trickier, obviously

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Especially if there is already a pizza in there - people get rally mad & very political

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Why would you ruin a perfectly good pineapple by putting it on pizza when you can ruin it by shoving it up your ass

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

Relatively smooth, round and 'filling', comes with a convenient stem to hold on to that definitely won't break on extraction

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

... I can only assume it's like peanut butter with dogs, but you know, for horses.

Exactly, I don't get the appeal.

Fastest salmonella in the west.

[–] ruk_n_rul@monyet.cc 4 points 2 months ago

It comes out the way it went in 😂

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

What if it's fertilized?

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 4 points 2 months ago

Scramble it.

Missed the opportunity to put a golden watch on that picture.

[–] rockhstrongo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I know a medical coder that works exclusively with an ER. Oh the stories I've heard...
