E.R. Alien proof

No, but I do remember a psych patient once who came in with a fantastic story about how soon all the computers in the world will be connected to one another. My coworker and I thought it was definitely original. Yup, right before the internet became a thing. He heard about it before we did.

You think I am like the pych patient, I know it's a stupid question but I am doing research on this. Sorry. Maybe the patient was an alien. Lol

No, you read me wrong. I meant it's too easy to discount something as being loony and then to find out there's actual truth to it. I also had a patient once who gave me such an outlandish medical history I almost burst out laughing at one point. Luckily I didn't. When I got her records it was all documented.

Yes, I have encountered this many times in my career where mysterious foreign objects are found inside of someone.

For some odd reason the objects are typically lodged in the rectum with no memory of how they got there.

Same, and once they did surgery they did find the cap to the cologne bottle up in the rectum (was up to high to pull out) and then the patient remembered it wasn't aliens but that he had accidentally sat on it.

I really think aliens attack humans with constipation. How else would you explain the ungodly amount of poop that hang out in these patients
