Of all the things to livetweet, a trip to the hospital with a dildo stuck in your rear would have to be the pinnacle of TMI. "What did you do last night" "I shoved a dildo up my ass and needed the hospital to extract it" "oh man me too"
Wow. And ouch.

As an EMT, most of the stuff I've seen stuck in peoples bodies is some sort of impalement... none of them tweeted about it as far as I know. Although I did when I tore my big toe almost completely off a while back.

Wow. Every doctor has a story like this, but I have never seen it live-tweeted, that 's for sure.
(for the record, my story is about the guy with a wooden dowel from a footstool lost up his ass; he declined to be admitted for observation after it was retrieved. my intern was so apologetic about calling me; I was like "are you kidding? this will be the highlight of morning report").
Corollary story...when I did a trauma rotation at a busy city hospital during my training years, we had to have a rule regarding foreign objects. If you had an issue from swallowing a non-food item, you went to regular general surgery. If you were there because you inserted something per rectum, you went to trauma surgery.

One of my BFFs was a Paramedic back when she and I first met. She called me one day to tell me about a call that she got. Dispatcher said that someone who was impaled needed transport to the hospital. She was surprised when a bathrobe clad guy met her and her partner at the door; normally impalement calls are people who fell off of ladders onto fences, kids who fell out of trees onto something pointy, etc.,. So he gets into the rig and she starts asking him questions - where is the injury, how did it happen, ... and the guy opens his robe. You know those long metal picks that come with the nutcracker in a holiday nut basket? Yeah, he had about 4 - 5 of those stuck up his urethra. She made a career change and is very happy with what she's doing. I'm very happy for her but man, I miss hearing those stories. Never got old.

My best friends brother in law is a surgeon. On his stint in ER during training they had a little boy admitted because he had shoved a wood screw up his urethra. That sounds pretty bad on its own, but then the reason they couldn't get it out was they only had the pointy end showing. He'd stuck it in there head first.
He told the story at a sizeable family dinner, and according to reports the only other male not squirming was the patriarch (a GP) who thought it was immensely amusing. I'm crossing my legs just telling the story.

Apparently, this is a sexual act known as 'sounding'. Some start out by 'training' the urethra by using 'sounds' (long thin and very smooth objects). Those who do this? Are sometimes referred to as 'sounders'.
So when an acquaintance heard that the professional soccer team here in Seattle is called 'Seattle Sounders FC', I could read their shock through the forum message boards. "That's the sickest name for a sports team I've ever heard." was the exact quote, I believe. However, it makes the supporters song "I'm a Sounder! I'm seldom sober!" oh, so much more fun to sing on Match Day.

Many years ago I was a proofreader for a medical journal. We kept a file of the more gruesome and/or entertaining case reports that had been submitted for publication. Amidst such knee-slappers as "Efficacy of Intercessory Prayer in a Coronary Care Unit Population" and "Use of Medicinal Leeches to Regulate Blood Flow in Facial Reconstructive Surgery" was a report of an elderly gentleman who showed up at his local emergency room with an economy-sized peanut butter jar lodged in his rectum. He claimed he had "slipped in the shower while washing his dog". The author of the report detailed how the jar was removed (the jar was first filled with a quick-setting expanding foam to prevent it from breaking and causing serious lacerations, then a tube was inserted past the obstruction and air was pumped in. This insufflation caused the jar to pop out like a champagne cork.). Then the author noted that the gentleman's story was likely false, as to work such an object into one's posterior likely required YEARS of practice and conditioning.....
The report was accompanied by x-rays. Truly the human body is a marvel.

A co-worker once told me one of those "I know someone who knows someone who knows someone who..." stories about this kind of thing - a man who turned up in an emergency room in hysterics, and naked, and with an entire television vacuum tube sticking out of his ass. He ran around screaming, clearly distraught, and the staff had to chase him around to a) get a blanket over him for modesty's sake, and b) get him to calm down long enough to tell him what the hell happened. They got him calm and still, but he was still shaken, so they were giving him a chance to collect himself before they started asking him. But after a couple minutes he started screaming again, and took off running again, and ran out the door into the street - where he promptly got hit by a truck and killed.
My co-worker said that the staff of this ER was torn between shock and horror at the man's death - and disappointment that "dammit, now we'll NEVER know what the fuck was up with that".

There's a paper that made its rounds in medical school entitled, from what I recall, "Rectal Foreign Bodies," which summarized the various foreign bodies found, dangers to health and life, and methods of removal. I did a brief search, but can't find the same paper.
It included, amongst the "usual" items, things like luggage keys and quick-dry concrete. The paper went into considerable detail about the concrete cast and how it was a marvel of medicine, providing the first-ever life model of the interior of the rectum/colon.
Hopefully (or maybe not), someone can find and link the article.
There's also an apocryphal story I heard about a patient who inserted a light bulb. The bulb broke. He went to surgery. The surgeon had to meticulously find and reconstruct the entire light build to ensure that there were no missing pieces of glass that could cause injury/laceration/bleeding.
And to any skeptics out there: yes, these events happen. I personally attended, briefly, to a patient who had a Nokia in nature's pocket. Yes, it still worked. Yes, it is possible to hear the buzz of such a phone, ringing in vibrate-only mode.

I've been working on a piece for the follow-up second book to my as-yet unpublished first book, a little ditty about my childhood Lolito period, and among the other horrors I go into, there are the matters of a flashlight battery I lost up a friend (a D cell, no less) and the consequences of putting a travel-size bottle of mint mouthwash up my own backside with the cap a bit looser than it should have been (I'd since figured out how to easily remove such things by that point, but whoooo minty!).
Fortunately, my mother can't figure out how to read metafilter, so I don't mind a bit of oversharing, so you can listen to me prattle on endlessly on a podcast about these horrors for over an hour:
They Don't Know How To Act, Episode 3 with [your pal, sonascope]
It goes without saying it's sort of not safe for listening in almost any social environment.
I discuss the missing battery starting at 30:45, the minty moment at 36:12, and I forget where it is, but I discuss just how I determined that Tesla coils and the human penis don't mix.
I never ended up in a medical setting, but it was almost certainly just luck.

Obviously this was not done for happy fun times (maybe, I was a weird kid) but when I was about 2 my mum got worried because I was wondering around the house on my hands and knees with my bum up in the air for hours and wouldn't sit down. One quick trip to the doctor and the removal of a small plastic soldier later, life was relatively normal again.
The main thing was, this was one better than my brother who, at around the same age, had a disgusting odor coming from his nose and was discovered to have a few chicken bones lodged up there.

Ouch. I'm having painful flashbacks of laying in a hospital peeing through a tube a few years ago.
I arrived in SF for a contract job that day. I felt sick the night before and vomited, but I flew anyway. When I arrived, I felt pretty bad and wasn't able to pee. I still went to work, but after an hour I was so sick I had to be rushed to the hospital. The first thing they did was insert a catheter. I'll never forget the pain. Turns out I had an E. Coli infection, which ended up in my prostate. I spent almost a week on IV antibiotics & peeing through a tube.

During my first month of surgery internship, I was on the trauma service. When people come in after they've been in serious car accidents, we automatically get chest and pelvis x-rays of them. Imagine our surprise when we saw this. It turned out to be a crackpipe that she was hiding from the cops and rescue workers. There was a bet as to which orifice it was in - a pelvic CT revealed that it was not the rectum.

"Son, when you told me you were gay, I accepted and understood. But I won't accept you being one of the dumbest gay men walking God's green earth. Jesus. Start spending time with intelligent gay men. Haven't you learned anything?"
"Son, so now I'm going to have to lay awake at night wondering if you're going to come and tell me you have something stuck up your ass? I can't live like this."
"Son, I'm sorry, but I'm telling your mother. Maybe she can talk some sense into your dumb ass. Oops. What am I saying? Bwahahaha."

TrolleyOffTheTracks: "I'm most interested in what dear old Dad said.
"Son, you need a boyfriend."
"Son, after you have that dildo pulled out of your butt, we are going to have a long talk about the decisions you're making in life."
"Son, what the hell has gotten into you lately? Bwahahaha."
"Son, when you told me you were gay, I accepted and understood. But I won't accept you being one of the dumbest gay men walking God's green earth. Jesus. Start spending time with intelligent gay men. Haven't you learned anything?"
"Son, so now I'm going to have to lay awake at night wondering if you're going to come and tell me you have something stuck up your ass? I can't live like this."
"Son, I'm sorry, but I'm telling your mother. Maybe she can talk some sense into your dumb ass. Oops. What am I saying? Bwahahaha."
This thread is hilarious."
I heard this being delivered in Hank Hill's voice.

At the very least, we can conclude that @grawley and others like him are deep thinkers who do not hesitate to plunge right in when confronted by a hard challenge that might knock a lesser man arse over tea kettle.

Everything that goes in there should have a flared base. Use lots of lube.

Absolutely. Where would this song, for example, have been without it?

Everything that goes in there should have a flared base. Use lots of lube. Never, ever put glass bottles in your body.
These are, however, some of the most fun EMT calls.
