I worked in an ER trauma center for years and some of the crap people do is unbelievable. You can't make one f that stuff up if you tried.
Things in rectum. Things in vaginas. Things in noses. Giant boils. Suicide gone wrong. Car accidents. Power tool accidents. All around stupidity. Burns
This one may be a regional variant (coastal Maine): lobster pick lodged in female urethra. Two different patients, on different occasions. The surface of the pick is knurled, you see, so they get firmly lodged.
I'm forced to speculate that there must be other objects getting inserted into urethras out there, but we're only seeing the ones that get stuck.

OMG, TEARS running down my face and only page 1. Thank you so much for the link (bored out of my skull before).

I worked the USC LA County ER for a month prior to going to Iraq, the Wino-9-0 ambulance crew brought a woman in who they found on the street waving her airway shunt in the air, got her on the table opened up her dress dozens of firecrackers came falling out..
Friend of mine worked the ER in Groton, went out on a 911 call to pick up a frequent flyer, got her back to the ER, lifted her arms and found a Green Oreo cookie in her pits. Whenever I want to mess with his head I will go get a small pack or Oreos and eat them in front of him.
In Iraq my CAPT had a policy of no cameras in the ER. We had a GySgt get hit in the groin with Sharpenl, dude had everyone in ther cracking up when he yelled don't touch me unitl I take a picture of my nuts, my corpsman were running all over the place looking for a camera for the Gunny.

"A patient"?!? I bet it was patient(s) but the way it was written makes it sound that much more entertaining.
Hey Doc, Bob is here for his weekly 'procedure'....

Ah yeah, according to what I was told it was one guy.
I saw a couple repeat offenders and can't stomach telling his story right now, his Xrays were ... amazing ...; the other was institutionalized and she often swallowed things, including, again, batteries.
