Interesting obstructions!

Published

Nothing beats an interesting obstruction. I admitted a patient tonight with a 'lady partsl obstruction'. Root of the obstruction...candy cane. Yes, I said candy cane. How this woman thought that would be a good idea, I have no idea?!? lol

So let's hear your most interesting obstructions. This should be good! :candycane:

Isn't it a little early for a candy cane? People start decorating for Christmas earlier and earlier every year. hahahaha:lol2:

Be interesting to see where she puts her Christmas lights.

I heard a story about a woman who forgot to take her tampon out at the end of her period, and only remembered it when she and her husband had sex. Her gynae had to fish it out...

Ok, ok...I'll admit it. That's happened to me. I fished it out myself. :o

My friend, a Doctor, told me the story of a man who came into the ER because he had put a Budweiser bottle up where it should not go.

I'll bet that's not what Budweiser was advertising for.

I am truly desensitized to all manner of gross things, because now I want a candy cane, hahaha!

Anyway, we had a man with a Grey Poupon jar inside of his rectum. Ended up with a colostomy, that one...

I'm not sure I've posted this before, but as a young medic in a major Army medical center, we ICU types were frequently pulled to other areas, if we weren't busy, and the ER was a frequent destination. The ER also frrequently ran out of female personell to chaperon female patients (military and civilian spouses and employees), so we men had to help out. The procedure was for us to stand behind a small curtain, where we could see the Dr. but not much of the patient. One night ( I was on nights) I was called down to ER to help out. About halfway into the shift, I was informed by the Charge Nurse to help Dr. X with a female with "PID". Got the room and the patient ready and stood back behind my curtain while the Dr. explained the procedure to the pt. The Dr. was in position and when he inserted the speculum, his FACE LIT UP! As my insides turned to jello trying not to laugh at the warn glow of the Dr's face in the flashlight the pt. inserted (her husband was in Germany on temporary duty) to take care of business, I rapidly excused myself to the nearest utility closet to laugh myself silly! I was joined a few minutes later by the Dr. which started the Laugh-Fest all over again. The MP's that came to find us must have thought we were into the pharmacueticals as neither one of us was coherent enough to explain what was so funny!

All I can think is OOOUUUCCCHHHHHH!!:eek:

Thinking back on the candy cane...this woman must not have had very high expectations of her partner. I don't know about you, but a candy cane wouldn't do much for me ;)
