Here is one I saw on the internet, took me a few days to find the story and picture.
... statistics show that archery is safer than baseball, football, and even soccer, ...
October, 2001 - Two brothers, Ron and Brian, were hunting deer. As Ron shot his bow, he bumped his brother, causing Brian to swivel as he was shooting and his arrow hit Ron in the back of his head. The arrow penetrated Ron's skull and pierced his brain. The fact that the brothers were standing close together prevented the accident from being worse. Ron remained conscious and was calming Brian down, who was shaken by the incident, as they walked from the woods. Surgeons spent three hours removing the arrow.

Not an "injury" so much as a precarious situation, but a young woman admitted with a (standard) "LIGHT BULB" (unbroken) inserted in her cooch.

Kind of a sad story...We had a guy recently admitted to ICU...he and his wife were hugging, they lost their balance and she fell on him...he sadly ruptured his spleen, had to be emergently taken to the hospital via ambulance, go to emergency surgery and had a very rough post op course...truthfully, I don't even know if he made it...regardless, he had a rough, rough night....
take home message....don't fall on your husband while hugging!! Can you imagine the guilt???

Had a 50 something man come in after thinking that the vacuum might be pleasant to use "you know where." Unfortunately, he didn't use the hose of the shop-vac, thought there would be better suction if he was closer to the motor. He's not half the man he used to be. Wound up somehow being picked up by national news service!! (yes, ETOH was involved)

The funniest injury I've Ever Seen
|
|
I live in a resort area and one evening I got a call from an elderly lady telling me she was bringing in her husband that had a fish hook in his "sac". Well I wasn't just sure if I heard correctly, but I told her to bring him right in. It turned out that the elderly gentelman did indeed have a fish hook in his scrotum. It seems that his grandson had laid his fish hook down on the drivers seat of the boat while his grandfather was standing helping his other grandchild land a fish. The man then sat down on his seat. The doctor and I had a difficult time not laughing and the poor gentleman was terribly embarrased.

That does not bring an attractive image to mind!

We were riding some ATV's in Cancun Mexico - My daughters fell off the path - the one on the back ended up getting a burn with her calf caught between the tire and fender (thank God she didn't break her leg)...She now has a perm tatoo with the word "suzuki" on her calf. It's funny now - it wasn't @ the time.

[/b]Hello, everyone...funny stories for sure!! I started out working med-surg and urology, and man...you see just about everything. I had a patient similar to DNRme; he was "vacuming" the house while his wifewas at the store. He just attached the suction hose to his "member" and thought he'd get some jollies. Well, too much suction, and he ended up in ER, and on our floor. He had major abrasions and some nerve damage from that one! ha! Another one was when we admitted the young sexy dancer in the ER. He worked for a club for women who want to watch men dance. He had gotten too hot on stage, and passed out. When the EMTs brought him in, we all noticed the gigantic "bulge" underneath those leather pants. MY oh my! Of course, we had to examine him, and take off his clothing. Attached to his crotch area by duct tape was a very large "zucchini"....!!! When he finally woke up and was able to talk; he was totally embarrassed by the zucchini lying on his bedside table!!
