What was the MOST BIZARRE thing a pt has been brought to ER for (and lived to tell)?

[cari rn]

You know...impaled by a fence, or swallowed 50 screws, or that sort of thing! Thought we'd try again - that last thread (the WORST thing) was too sad to read.

I'd love to hear about those freaky/bizarre things that happened to people, stuff you wouldn't believe unless you saw it with your own eyes. Anyone have any good ones?

here is one to lighten the spirt!! lol:Santa1:

A female was brought into the ER via ambulance. She had been driving her car on icy roads, the car failed to stop at an intersection with a major highway and she struck a Toyota station wagon. There were no police around (it was 5am and this is a very small town). She volunteered to walk to the Sheriff office to get help since there was no other traffic. No one would answer there so she walked to the city police dept. No one there either (found out later they were all at the Sheriff Office drinking coffee and eating their doughnuts).

She saw a tow truck pull into the car dealership and went over and had them call the SO to get help, then decided to walk back to the accident scene.

On the way back she slipped on the ice, you guessed it, broke her leg. Now I should tell you she had wrecked a brand spanking new Pinto sedan (only had 500 miles on it) and had not received a scratch.

After 45 minutes of laying on the ice and snow employees of the business she fell in front of came to work and found her. (There had been a severe ice storm the night before and had come early to shovel the walks....... to late to save her from falling lol).

Anyway, she ended up in the ER, got casted and family took her home. 30 minutes later she was back in the ER with the cast broken off her foot and all the toes broken on the casted leg.

She had gone to her parents home, sat in her dad's recliner, it broke, flipped her backwards. Her casted foot struck a bookcase breaking her toes and splitting the cast.

The doc was still in the ER when she was taken back in, yelled at her to go home........ she showed him what was left of her cast and asked him if there was a warranty on his work. He shut up and refixed her leg and toes.

She totaled her new car, broke her leg and then her toes in less than 2 1/2 hours..... now that was a bad day.

:Snow: I lived to tell about it, but I also check all chairs before I sit. :icon_redface:
