Ambulance-blogger Random Reality has a series of posts concerning objects lodged up people’s arses. Recommended, if you find that sort of thing entertaining.
This also gives me the opportunity to tell my favourite ‘objects lodged up people’s orifices’ story: my doctor friend had a couple of A&E visits from a local, erm, ‘community patient’.
Each time, he had a different object lodged in his urethra. The first time, it was the arm of his glasses. The final time, it was a razor blade. A safety razor blade, but still…
Following the removal of the razor blade, the patient asked my friend to amputate his back. "But why do you want your back amputated?", she asked. "Because it’s black", came the reponse.
You can’t argue with that (pretty much literally, in fact: what on earth would you say?)
:). You might also find Mistress Matisse’s most recent post amusing …
A friend of mine told me about a woman being admitted to A&E with glass splinters embedded in her buttocks, followed five minutes later by a man with glass and faeces in his face. Turned out she’d been squatting on a coffee table while he lay underneath it…
Must have been a pretty big load to shatter the glass table so forcefully
