sausage as a dildo?
My patient who let a 12 inch long extra wide vibrator slip up his behind...what are these people thinking?
Oh, yeas...there was a learning experience there too........
Q: when you view an X ray of a vibrator stuck inside someone....how can you tell if it is still running?
A: if the object has a clearly distinct outline...it has stopped......if it has a more indistinct "fuzzy" outline...then it's still going strong.
Q: how long can you expect a vibrator to run on fresh batteries?
A: At least 8 HOURS....well it went into the pt at about 10am.....at 6pm when the surgical resident was trying to fish it out she was astounded to feel it vibrating against her tools........that's what I call having "the bunny" inside...it seems energizer batteries do last!
There are so many things we could warn patients NOT to do!! LOL!
And one more for the "PLEASE don't do this" from our "happy little er"...
Don't use a FULL...GLASS...ketchup bottle in any orifice...
And then get it "stuck"!!!
When you go to surgery to have it removed...
And the glass bottle breaks...
And the KETCHUP spills out of your rectum...
The OR crew gets VERY concerned.
You "end up" with a VERY large surgical procedure...
Only to discover that it was ONLY ketchup!!!
