Creative Weapons

Holy ****!!

MMC.RN.... you just hit on some amazing scenarios! Thank you so much for sharing. And I do appreciate your sense of humor lol! I had a similar scenario where a patient completely lodged an 8in. hairbrush up her hoo-haa while trying to masturbate. Of course she didn't inform anyone until 3 days later...needless to say, she won a trip to the ER as well for extraction! :***:

Firehoses and nozzles from the fire extinguishers on the unit.

Pretty much any solid in a sock or pillow case. Or sleeve.

Plastics can be semi-melted, cooled, and made sharper and more rigid.

Toothbrush handles can be ground against the floor or wall and made into a shank or a heat treatment, as described above, can be used to augment the weapon.

Slivers of razor blades can be burrowed into a toothbrush handle and used to slash.

Toilet paper rolls can actually be weaved together into an arrow head like weapon. Same with milk cartons.

Colorful potato and corn chip bags can be weaved tightly into an array of garments and items that would've made the indians jealous.

Clearly you can do a number of things with pencils of any size. I imagine a creative guy could do the same with a crayon.

Candy canes can be a shank.

Many of the inpatient folks have been incarcerated where the above items originated. Use caution. Weapons against staff...or others or self. Of course, you're number one so look out for yourself first.

Thanks! I think if I didn't have a sense of humor, I would be on the other side of the nursing station. Ouch! A hairbrush for three days? I can't imagine the pain involved...
