I think most of us are sometimes worried about going to the doctor. We don't want to go unless something is truly wrong. Most people worry that they will make the appointment, go in, and the doctor will tell them they are perfectly healthy. Nothing ruins a day quite like hearing that news.
Mothers are often particularly concerned with this. We all ask each other for medical advice about our kids. We sure don't want to drag them to the doctor unless it is really necessary.
That's why I was so happy to come upon this medical story from Canada. Oh sure, they have that fancy health care system up there so maybe they aren't worried about unnecessary trips to the doctor. But, I'm wagering this one would have seemed legitimate no matter where you live.
Three urologists reported a man came into the emergency room with a ballpoint pen in his urethra. Seems he thought this insertion might be...ummm...pleasurable. When it wasn't, he did what any other sane person would do and decided it wasn't in far enough. Well, doggone it. When that didn't work out the way he planned either, he decided if he pushed it in far enough, it would come out his rectum. I'm guessing anatomy was not this gentleman's strong suit in school. After the same procedure used to remove kidney stones was utilized, the patient was discharged home.
It does kinda make that H1N1 look less news worthy, doesn't it?

I think I threw up in my mouth a little.
Good morning to you too.
;)
Blessings!

Ewwwww! And D'OH!! :)
I love how I don't ever have to watch the news - I just come here for the really hard-hitting and crucial stories.
wow.
:|
wow.
He is an asshole, he just didn't know how to "find himself"
That's just gross. My friend works in the ER and you should hear the stories she tells about what people insert.
The power of the Internet never ceases to amaze me. How did we ever exist before we had the ability to share stories like these?
Oh, and I am definitely with Amanda on this one. :)

Oh my goodness! Just goes to show that he should have been listening during biology class...
Men are so damned stupid
Ahh...but my favorite is the one where the guy put the little snake up there. The xrays are way cool.
O.M.G. W.T.F.?!!??!
I wonder how hard is for the nurses and doctors not to laugh sometimes....omg.
Whoa. Just. Whoa.
I'm laughing out loud! I'm sorry for the guy, but am still laughing!
P.S. LOVE the new header.
Ewwwww, this is just not morning reading.
I think he might just win the Big, Giant Stupid Award. 'kay?
Ouch. And I'm not even a man!
Some men can be so ridiculous!!
And yes, we have a great health care plan in Canada and I speak for myself...I make as few trips to the doctor as possible, though it's good to know I can go when needed.
Hmm I just will never comprehend some people. Push it in further when it already doesn't feel good? Brilliant
I wasn't in Canada when that happened.
I'm speechless....
If he would've died during this little incident, I'm sure he would have won the Darwin award for it...
And Social Services and Psych consult was not called, because?......
Ummmmm.... speechless.
Oh my freaking nasty!
And we wonder where little children get the notions of inserting beans, stones, coins, etc, in various orifices, don't we? Must be an innate talent that crops out every so many births or generations or some such. Unbelievable that someone could be that goofy to even think about doing something like that much less actually following through!
I read this and then, had to re-read it, aloud, to my daughter cause she wanted to know what it was I was chuckling about. Now she knows and she's saying "EUWWWW!"
Thank the good Lord that my 4 year old can't read yet! He's the king of "will X fit X." I'm hoping he outgrows it & stays out of Canada. OUUUUUCH!
Oh. Oh. Oh.
I'm just basically sitting here in shock. That is weird. And disgusting. And, and. Why?
Umm...if it wasn't a life threatening mistake...can he still be eligible for the Darwin Award?
Ouch! What a weirdo! I am sure Dr. Hubby has a story that would trump that one after doing his ER rotation...LOL
Oh, Lord! What an idiot!
Proof that not everyone swims at the deep end of the gene pool.
Wow!
Bwahahaha ... the humiliation! Obviously well deserved. Freakazoid!
Here's your sign...
I needed a serious dose of laughing
today.Thanks . Always it's great reading you.Really fun!
P.S I'm sorry for the guy though.
xoxo
Holy Cow! Someone was THAT stu... ignorant? Wow. Wow. People... really do amaze me. Sometimes. Lol. Thanks, I needed that jolt today.
...I was wondering where all my pens had disappeared to...
OMG.....snort!
Yikes! He needs a new hobby.
OMG that is so gross, so why am I laughing??!!! LOL ha ha ha
Ew.
Dummy deserved for them to leave it in.
People are so weird... Oh wait - that was the word you used in your post title!
OUCH! I used to work in medical claims, and we saw some very bizarre stuff.
OUCH! I used to work in medical claims, and we saw some very bizarre stuff.
Ummmm........ YUCK!
OH. My. Gawd.
*shudder*
I wonder why I cover my eyes ans still read when something like this grosses me out?
Oh my! Thanks for the laugh, I needed it this week!
Maybe it wasn't enough for him to be able to write his name in the snow.
I can't think of anything to say.
Wow this just takes stupidity to a whole new level.
I knew there had to be more uses for a ballpoint than just jotting down to-do lists.
Ouch.
Weird doesn't even begin to describe this guy! I'm still laughing anyway!
YUK!!!!!!!
Oh yea. A day in the life of a nurse....you see it all, trust me.
One of my most memorable was the guy who put a wedding band around his penis while it was limp, then got erect and the ring obviously got stuck.
By the time he got his MOTHER to drive him to the ER, his penis was turning black.
I don't think there's much that could shock me anymore.
XOXO
All I can say is that for once I'm glad you didn't do what you usually do with your posts and throw in several pictures here and there :)))))
You can't fix stupid.
I'm thinkin' the pen must have poked him in his brain...At least the dr's didn't have a dull day.
Um...yeah. I don't have anything for that one.
Really?
Sounds perfectly sane and logical to me. Papa used to work in the E.R. (here in the good old U.S.A) A man came in one night attached to the hose on the vacuum cleaner.
Another man came in, his ring was stuck, but not on his finger.
Good Times!!!
And THAT'S why I think paying attention in anatomy class is a really good idea. The stupidity of people never fails to amaze me.
Oh owwwww! Had to share it with my hubby, who just looked shocked and kept asking why??? Some people are sooo odd!
Now that was frightening. He obviously made it worth his while going to the doctor that time.
Um, the guy believed in the power of the pen?
Wow - that sounds painful. AND stupid! Thx for visiting :)
Oh. My. Gosh. Eeeeeewwwww
I almost can't believe anyone could be that stupid. But I guess there are warning labels on things for a reason. Just imagine the label they are going to have to add to pens because of this!
ah ouch! I was reading this wincing the entire time. I just cannot imagine doing that even if I was a guy! seriously! ouch!
Oh my! That's all I can say. Oh my!
xo
EWWWWWWW! I can't imagine the pain----oh----gag!!
I guess other people must have a different definition of pleasurable.
Boys are so silly.
BLECH!!!
OMG!!!!!
EWWWWWW.
Wow. That is just all that comes to mind really.
Oh that's just grooooosss...I wonder, honestly...what goes through peoples minds when they chose to do something like this, tee hee.
Jamie :)
p.s. thanks for stopping by my blog too!
Stranger things have been seen on x-ray...no really.
Well, after hearing his reasoning for putting in more, I guess I'm not surprised it ended up there in the first place.
Wow. That is just...wow.
Wanted to say thanks for stopping by my blog! I appreciate the comment!
Ewwwww! What is wrong with people?!
I'm not a man, but reading that post hurt.
Yuck!
gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
This is better than the lady who 'fell' onto a can of hairspray. Not better in a good way...
That is flat out awful.
THANKS! :)
That hurt just to imagine what he went through. What was he thinking? Come on, how dumb can a person be? Never mind, don't answer that question.
Awesome! There's nothing like an Idiot in the ER story to get you going!
Oh my...
that's just...
yah...
I got nothin'
Ouch!!! What an idiot!
That is so a man! dingledorf! LOL, what a mental image you're leaving with me!
My sister is an RN and used to tell me of these kind of stories during her clinical rotations, when she saw a lot of the weird and unexplainable.
After reading this, I feel as if I'm completely normal. And that doesn't often happen.
That made me shiver ... I am voting "insane" on this one. YIKES !!!!!!!
Some people are just idiots. I think this one deserves a prize!
Oh my gosh, that is gross and hysterical all at once!
OMG - Did you catch Adrienne's comment? "Maybe it wasn't enough for him to be able to write his name in the snow." BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
The lengths some people go to...! Your stories are just the best!! Playing catchup now on all your recent posts I've missed out on!
Oh my.
That's just way messed up.
*speechless*
Oh. Oh. Oh, my!
What the heck?
Pen in the uretha? Yeah, H1N what?
Ewww....
