ER- HELP: Dumbest reason people go to ER

My best "wrong orifice" stoy was when I worked in the ER. One gentleman put a a live mouse "up there" because he heard that if he snorted coke while it was in place, the sensation would be wonderful.

Needless to say, the next mornng, the smell wasn't too wonderful and he was pretty embarassed coming to the ER to have it removed. The xray was interesting though.

Interesting. I wonder what Sigmund Freud would have to say about this? I later asked the doctor what he thought was the psychological origins of this particular hobby. He didn't have an answer. Human beings are so interesting!

Indeed. What makes someone look at this stuff and think, "Gee, I wonder what that would feel like up my butt?"

Good grief

Sometimes I really wonder about the human species

Thanks for the laugh, laughter is good. The thing I love about nursing is meeting such a variety of people, they are facinating. In each person, no matter how unusual they may seem, there is some common ground we can usually find.

Yeah, I like sticking foreign up my youknowwhat too....LMAO!
How do you keep yourself from laughing while doing the admission assessment? I've never had the "pleasure" of caring for this type of pt.

Thanks for the laugh though,

In each person, no matter how unusual they may seem, there is some common ground we can usually find. For instance, this fellow was an avid gardener. He wasn't just a nutcase. People have all sorts of unusual hobbies that hold no interest to me, who's to judge?

Nursing really brings you up close with the human race, doesn't it?
