Each of these, of course, tells a very abbreviated story, but I want to know more about the "dog's paw" under "ear." A live dog's paw? Still attached to the dog? How large a dog? Front or back paw? How was the patient(s) transported? How, no why, did it happen? I'm not going to be able to get back to sleep....

A very good friend of mine used tho date an emergency room surgeon, and one evening he told us about all the excuses he had heard concerning this very subject while on duty in the ER. By far the most common excuse was 'I was getting ready to take a shower and I fell and landed ass first on _______'
Apparently a lot of people store individual light bulbs in their shower. Precariously balanced light bulbs. Who knew?

Now inhale somewhat forcefully and pull all that energy up from the deep red root center, through the orange sexual/regenerative center, and up and through the yellow power plexus, and the green heart level, and into your throat area, which is a beautiful blue color.

If you're having trouble pulling on this energy emanating from your root chakra, don't be afraid to help things along with the Ceremonial Lamp 110/120v 750w E40/GES. That's a 150 mm diameter GLS bulb with the toughened glass.

Who knew x-rays could resolve the colored stripes on a candy cane.

I didn't know, but I think I can explain how this is the case. The videos in this post talk about how white hard candy is made white not by adding a dye but by stretching so as to introduce millions of tiny air bubbles which refract the light. White hard candy is essentially a foam.

I'd bet that the x-ray is picking up not the color of the stripes but the difference in density between the red and the white candy that make up the cane.

I transcribed for a HEENT (head, eye, ear, nose, throat) physician for years. She treated many pediatric cases and had a dry sense of humor, and scribing her op notes was a delight.

A couple of favorites: "Patient is three year old female whose mother describes a foul smell. With mother aiding in stabilizing patient I introduced lidocaine spray, then inserted my scope to find one mung bean in the left sinus, which I removed using forceps. It had sprouted." Another: "Patient is brought in by mother; male four-year-old denies insertion of object but continues to bother his nose, which runs. [after insertion of scope] I viewed a small plastic soldier in the patient's nasal cavity which appeared to be infantry, and armed. This was carefully removed without incident."

I like how as you move down the body, the implied age of the person increases. But every now and then there was one that would catch me picturing a wrong-ish age person. "Mom noted rubber hand" from the title of the post was one of those. I had to rapidly age down the picture in my mind but I'll never fully unsee it.

The son of one of my friends once freaked her out (he was maybe 3) by proudly showing her his penis, which was entirely flattened at the tip as if it had been hit squarely by a hammer. Once she calmed down, in part by realizing that he wasn't acting like he was hurt or alarmed, she discovered that he'd put a nickel in his foreskin.

The ones that are openly admitted sexytimes misfires should be omitted. I mean, if you go through 10-50 dildos a year, at least one of them is going to of substandard quality. The more you try for verisimilitude in the little clit bunny extensions and cutesy animals, the more you are asking for trouble, silicone just isn't that forgiving. Buy quality -- there is no free lunch when it comes to discount dildos. And don't even get me started on the fading quality standards of cock rings.

Apparently a lot of people store individual light bulbs in their shower. Precariously balanced light bulbs. Who knew?

Rectal light bulbs are common enough that there is actually a published method for removing them without breaking them into shards of glass, involving encasing them with a plaster of Paris enema. A lot of other things on the list are actually pretty common. Among the more interesting things I have helped retrieve over the years are a toilet bolt cover (which was actually kind of hard as it was stuck to the back of the child's tongue like a suction cup) and a teenager who managed to inhale his grill, which was sitting right at his vocal cords. More tragically, we saw a toddler a couple of years ago who inhaled a chunk of broken glass from a beer bottle, fatally obstructing his trachea. Other life-threatening ingestions that many people aren't aware of include disc batteries and magnets.

Parental guide:
  • Ages below puberty: Don't knock, investigate any silence (or giggling from child's room if there are friends present)
  • Ages where kid is likely to be rubbing one out: Always knock, and for the love of god actually pause for "Just a minute! Jesus, can't I spend any time alone! I was just reading!" before entering room.

I feel for the girl with the anal fissure, I've had one, they're no fun.

Wish we were a lot better about sex in this society, too. Some enterprising manufacturer needs to come up with a line of hairbrushes, toothbrushes and other "normal" everyday things which area actually safe sex toys on their handle ends. Those things are going to be used anyway, and if we're not going to get the kids safe things that are explicitly for the purpose, we should at least have a way for them to get things which aren't dangerous.

No, no, don't get anywhere near the door. Just yell from the bottom of the staircase or down the hallway or, y'know, the neighbour's yard. Never risk overhearing anything that might put any sort of indelible mark in your mind.

There are multiple things designed for this purpose! There's a cheap adapter top for electric toothbrushes, for one example, which removes damage that might be done by bristles while letting people have plausible deniability since all it involves is switching the head.

OK, I just googled "plaster of paris enema," because why not? Here are some highlights.


Rectal Impaction Following Enema with Concrete Mix. Includes pic of the extracted concrete casting.


Rectal Foreign Bodies: What Is the Current Standard? Great article with a noteworthy stat:

The mean age at presentation is 44 years, but ranges from 20 to over 90 with a decidedly higher proportion of male patients (17–37:1).

I suppose we all suspected men were more likely to put strange things in their butts than women, but 37:1 is quite remarkable.
