Funniest injury you have ever seen.....

I took care of a guy once who had an injury to the third toe and complete amputation of the fourth toe. When asked how this injury occurred......"I was using my twelve gauge shot gun to kill moles in my yard." :chuckle

All I kept thinking was "you might be a redneck if........." :rotfl:

I told him that I hoped his family was going to get plenty of miles out of his injury and his son said "oh yeah. The last thing I told him was not to shoot his foot with the gun." The guy had been balancing the barrel of the gun on his shoe while he waited for signs of the moles moving underground.

My father, brother & I went fishing a couple years back & my brother got his bait stuck right behind daddy's ear...two treble hook burried into the hilt. Well we walk in the ER & I was just dying laughing because the bait had bb's in it so it would rattle & attract fish...he rattled all the way across the parking lot & into the ER,lol

Believe it or not I was trying to teach my husband to fly fish. He insisted on standing beside me. When I was trying to show him how to pull the line,

As I was pulling the wind caught the line and it caught in in the NOSE of all places. Try taking your husband to the ER to get the hook out of his nose. Too bad it didn't have a ring on it:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

One night a man was brought into the ER. His face was swollen and he was holding his butt at the same time. He would not sit in a wheel chair.

Into the trauma room he went he lay on his side while his wife explained that they had been at an outdoor show and her husband went to the port-a-john. When he sat doun he sat on a brown recluse, when the spider bit him he jumped up so fast that he hit his face on the door of the john and broke his jaw.. The rest as they say is history. Can you just see how the insurance was filed. Man bit by spider and breaks jaw. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Probably the following answer will help "I am sorry Ms, that is outside the bounds of my professional responsibility. The service you requested was not part of the nursing school's training."

Or he just could have replied " Sorry Ma'am, you're insurance won't cover that."

A nominee for "funniest" injury...

women came in with cc of nipple pain. Turns out she decided to get her nipples pierced for her 65th birthday. Considering the age and nature of the complaint, everyone thought it was quite amusing

Ew gross! Wouldn't that irritate her knees? :chuckle -Andrea

Add me to the list of folks who can verify that Nair is not a good substitute for bikini wax. :imbar

ok when I was little I for some dumb reason wanted to be hurt - I would do things like put on ace bandages on the school bus and tell everyone I sprained my wrist. I have no idea why I did this. Anyways when I was 7 I was playing outside and thought I would "fall down". So i fake fell - I mean I was just walking around the yard and fell. Imagine my surprise when my leg really started to hurt so off to the ER. Turns out my "fall" tore ligaments in my leg. I wore a hot pink cast for 6 weeks and got all kinds of attention.:chuckle Not long ago I told my mom about this - she didnt think it was too funny!

OMG, I used to do the same stupid thing!!! I 'fell' off the couch one day, pretended to fall on the phone beneath it, and I said I broke my rib. The x ray showed nothing. :rotfl: I used to go to school with those stupid ace bandages wrapped around one limb or another.sounds like a deep rooted psychological problem, now that I think about it.........:uhoh21: :p I havent confessed to my mom yet, however........:rotfl: And I never was "lucky" enough to have a real genuine cast... wow I would have LOVED that.........I just realized ,I never actually voiced this to anybody, ever........too funny

I know of a gentlemen who discovered his latex allergy in a rather, uh, memorable way (hint: not gloves.) I really can't imagine how unpleasant that would actually be ...

about 10 years ago my wife and i were getting a bit frisky in the kitchen and we were both naked. she grabbed for my special purpose and by pure reflexes i jumped away and caught my scrotum - that's right - scrotum, on a kitchen cabinet and tore a small hole in it. well, thinking i would never have any more children, i called the er and told the nurse what had happened. i could tell she was trying no to laugh and told me there was nothing she could do unless i came in. so i did. after a few pokes and prods i was sent home with nothing more than a bandage. a small bandage at that. needless to say once my wife reported my er trip to the relatives i got all kinds of testicular jokes! but, everything's fine now. the boys healed well. :p

michael... your wife told this story to the relatives???!!! thats even funnier than what actually happened!!!!!:rotfl:

One of my classics was the husband of a lady I used to work with. It seems he was using a chainsaw to cut wood, and it kicked back and grazed the side of his face. What does he do he goes home and gets a BIGGER chainsaw. Needles to say he ended up cutting his leg all the way down to the tibia. I looked at him in front of his wife and said what the %^&( were you thinking.

I liked the guy who was stoned, I forget on what. But he decided to climb up a flag pole and steal the eagle that was on top. Hr managed to do this and as he slid back down at a fast rate hugging the pole that little hook think they use to secure the pole hit just right splitting his pants and splitting his scrotum. You know testicles look so funny just hamging there by their little cords and funny they look do much smaller also.
