A urologist who was being inappropriate with a young girl... The CRNA and me had to write him up, turn him in to the Chief of Surgery and go before their peer review board at the hospital. He was a total perv. Still makes me cringe when I think of it. Thank god this CRNA and I were in the room to protect her...and they say OR nurses do nothing!

Foreign body removals from the rectal orifice..:D You name it, it's been up there, markers, tubes of toothpaste, a serving fork, an aftershave bottle.:uhoh3:

I didn't see this, but classmates of mine who observed a craniotomy say they saw a fly land in the sterile water, and the nurses just looked at each other and the fly, and continued to use it to irrigate the patient's brain.

I saw a general surgeon remove gobs of duct tape from a young guys stomach that he had injested. :uhoh3:

A big cucumber the other day, LOL. they even had a teather of string whapped around it with duct tape but the string broke. :uhoh3: Everyone that works in the OR know if you are going to stick something up the rectum you had better have a really good teather on it,

Oh yeah, how about a small vibrator in a womans bladder.

Vibrator in the colon. Needed a bowel resection to get it out. It was still running.

Young child shot in abdomen by sibling with BB gun. Holes in stomach, liver, and small intestine. Saw same child several months later for a lysis of adhesions.

Yeah, that's just wrong on multiple levels!:mad::eek:

Guy up in yellow fins for a buttock abscess. Don't you looooove those add ons? The cottage cheese pus literally shot about 8 feet when the surgeon started. I had to stand outside the substerile because I was swallowing my own vomit from the smell. Once it was over there was so much chunky pus it looked like a placenta on the ground. Never have been in a case that has made me vomit since.
