New and 'fun' things

[Sassy5d]

Anyone care to share any new and possibly 'fun' things you've seen or learned about lately??

I'll start. A pt under the age of 40 who had no risk factors for anything.. Ended up with a pneumothorax. Came in with CP.

Um, the light bulb in his ceiling burned out and he was using the flashlight to see to change the bulb. He unfortunately was naked and accidentally fell on the flashlight at which point it inserted itself into his bum. Totally accidental.

That sounds pretty legit to me...

What I thought was more surprising was when a male came in who purposely inserted 3 carrots into his rectum.

We had a young guy intentionally insert a bicycle pump into his rectum. Required emergency colostomy after he "overinflated".
