Wrong hole.

So, I had bariatric surgery done almost 4 years ago and I've had NUMEROUS complications and illness ever since.

Probably 5 hospitalizations. 4-5 major surgeries following.

Anyway, this was not funny at the time (as I was pretty ill) but three years later, I can appreciate the humor in how just utterly clueless people can be.

I had to get a barium enema (first ever enema). On my side in radiology. The radiology tech is hanging the bag and priming the tubing.

At the time, I had an open pilonidal cyst (if you don't know what it is you probably don't want to look it up) at the base of my tailbone. At the TOP of my butt.

The radioligy tech is all sunshine and flowers like "are you ready?!"

Guess where she begins to violently shove the enema tubing?

I said, as calmly as I could, "Excuse me, but you're not in the right place."

RT: "It's okay! Sometimes there's resistance."

Me: "No. You don't understand, you're NOT IN THE RIGHT PLACE."

Afterwards, when I got up to expel the solution, the back of my gown looked like a murder scene. I've given enemas in my day and I guess the first clue for me would have been the blood? Nope.

I am so sorry this happened to you.... And wow I admire your sense of humor about it now!! [emoji33]

reminds me of the time I was going through infertility testing and had to go for a hystersalpingogram...the radiologist was a generalist, not a GYN radiologist and the stuck the speculum in my orifice...

I was going to "like" this but I just don't think I can....

And now, a word from The Speculums:

I thought I was bad for missing the urethra and ending up in the lady parts when first attempting female straight cath as a first semester adn student.

Reminds me of the movie Knocked Up.

No, she did NOT choose that OBGYN to deliver her child!

Ummm, what did you say, Twinmom06? "...Butt, that's not it!"???

First day on the job for that radiology tech. :nailbiting:

My cath instructor advised if we did this...just leave the lady partsl cath in there, then try for the urethra!! Fortunately I've never had this mishap!

OMG! Was this rad tech a certified tech? That was inexcusable.

A rad tech doing his industrial training? lol

And hopefully the last. Anyone with half a brain cell should know you NEVER force anything into any hole! And when the patient tells you something...LISTEN.
