just recently I came from the ER for a very similar reason 😂 thought I may have an obstruction, or something else. because I was vomiting a lot and having other concerning GI symptoms. couldn't even keep down Zofran. yup, just bad constipation
I had an experience which made me realize that despite the problems, our medical system in Canada works wonders in a true emergency. First, let me say that the ER nurse who admitted me stopped in my room and mentioned that she was astounded I actually walked into the hospital under my own power. And this is why: I had a minor pain in my right side, following some vomiting related to a migraine headache, and went to the ER, was told it was likely a pulled muscle, given some Tylenol #3 and sent home. Three days later, I'd pretty much not moved from my easy chair since I got home and my mom noticed my belly was a bit bloated. She said we needed to go back to the ER. I got up and collapsed, out for 1/2 a minute. Went to the washroom, blacked out and fell into the bathtub, again just for half a minute. My mom drove me to the ER w/o further incident. Walked into triage, and the nurse took my BP. It was 60/10. Very calmly she said, "well, that's a little lower then we'd like to see it." Immediately I was sent to imaging (ultrasound). They offered a wheel chair but I declined. The tech showed me the screen which showed (in black & white) a large mass of white which moved and flowed in my abdominal area. He said, again, very calmly, "that white blob is fluid. We don't like to see that." This time he insisted I sit in a wheelchair and he wheeled me off to the OR. Turns out I'd blown a blood vessel in my abdomen and had been bleeding into my belly for 4 days. Bizarrely, the blood vessel I blew was actually just under my rib cage, outside of the abdominal sack. I'm told it's a very strange thing to happen. They drained 4 litres of blood during surgery (I was a a big guy, i was estimated to have a blood volume of 7 to 8 litres total, apparently). From the moment I walked into the hospital I was in the OR in under 20 minutes, and even though I was quite drowsy, everyone was so calm and relaxed that at no point did I feel afraid. The reality is, though, that BP is so low that it is very close to the point where the heart stops beating simply due to a lack of resistance. An interesting experience - I do not recommend.
I derived some mild amusement from turning up at ER with a referral note from the veterinarian. Cat objected to an antibiotic injection and took it out on me instead of the vet. Nasty bite marks on both hands, was on antibiotics longer than the cat was!
@@ianmoseley9910a friend of mine had a nasty female cat that bit her. She got an infection and ended up in the ER from an infection. They told her that if this happened in the 1920's she would've been dead from that infection. The doctor reported the incident to the county health department. Somebody actually came to her house to investigate the incident. The cat was up on her shots and didn't have to be quarantined.
I responded to major trauma and no patient showed up. Half hour a 16 yo showed up with a 4x4 sticking out of his chest. Paramedic said his out of control car crashed a fence, ripped the 4x4 out of ground, through the windshield, steering wheel, his chest, and the seat! They had to cut the wood just in front of the boy, made him lean forward (yeah, he was conscious!) and cut the 4x4 off near his back. Next day parents wanted him to go home from ICU. Doctor showed them photos convince them to not sign him out.
7:00 I'm pretty sure there's actually a law that says that the news isn't supposed to report a death until after the family has been informed first. This came about after Buddy Holly's death in the 50's
My mom works in a hospital. One night a code GREY (meaning a patient/family member attacked staff) was called. Apparently, the mother of the patient who was brought to the ER left to get Macca's for the two of them. Despite being told by the doctor that she cannot have food in the hospital, she started throwing everything she could find at anyone who told her no, even looking at her you were a target. This includes doctors, nurses, cleaners, PSAs, security personnel, even patients. She was escorted out. If you are wondering why you cannot take outside food into the hospital, it is due to the possibility that tests or procedures may be performed. To rule out various illnesses, some require an empty stomach.
Also unless you have been there awhile and they know of potential food allergies it is best to play it safe and if the patient is eating make sure you know what is in the food.
As a former cancer patient who is in remission, when I go for checkups once every two years I always have to go without eating before checkups… I usually go straight to Subway or McDonalds right after these checkups.
My Sister, a brother, and my self have a metabolic condition called cystinuria. So we know when we have kidney Stones. My sister having a kidney stone attack went to ER and they said she must be imagining that. Her doctor later told the nurses and doctors that she could educate them and knew more they they knew. Another time I went in and said the same thing. I was in pain for almost 4 hours before the ER people came back and said yes I had a kidney stone and to send me to Urology surgery stat. Sometime patients know a lot more then ER.
No doctor is going to know e:erything about every condition. I just wish medics wouldn't try to hide it when they have no clue. I started going to the physicians assistant I have now because he said he didn't know what was wrong with me but he knew who to ask.
The parents of one of my friends got a phone call from the ER about one of their daughters that was on a car accident. Both parents went to the hospital and while they waited to talk with a doctor the mother started looking around for her daughter. She found her. Dead on an ambulance stretcher. She was 22 years old. Too many accidents that night and somebody somehow made a mistake. Imagine
Story 12 is so sad, I can just image the utter Terry that 16 year old was feeling and understand why he crashed into the bay as he moat likely was just flooring it to get to the hospital so couldn't stop. Hope the younger brother lived.
I gotta tell this one (I'm not from the US). I was with my bf in the ER waiting for some tests results. This was in 2021, still with the rona going strong so there weren't rooms or beds, we were left in a hallway waiting because he would only be priority depending on the results. But they wouldn't let him go just in case, so we were left there waiting and witnessing a lot of things. A woman walked in with a friend, the woman was holding a hankerchief over her head and claiming it hurt so much. They were just around the corner and we heard more or less what was happening but didn't see anything. The woman had hurt her head some time ago and let it get infected. Not only that, it was infested with eggs of some insect (i guess from flies). The doctors and nurses had to clean it. We heard screams of pain, saw the staff walking in a hurry and some left the room to compose themselves. There were hundred if not thousands of eggs, some med students described them as "similar to rice". Then the cleaners came and left in a shock taking a bucket full of the thing, I tried to see it but couldn't. Two hours later the woman left, with her head all bandaged, an antibiotic prescription and a warning to not let this happen again.
Something similar to #21 happened to me a few months ago, my stomach was hurting so bad that I was squirming around, so I had my step mom bring me to the hospital and it turned out to just be bad constpation. I wound up getting a CT scan and was in the hospital from like midnight to 8AM, I felt dumb afterwards, but I really had no clue what was going on and was worried that it was something a lot worse.
5:25 fair warning this is Graphic child abuse against a toddler I heard this story when my kid was two. The eye burning has haunted me for years,l. I'd forgotten where I'd heard it. The horror had worn down. It's one of very few things that give me nightmares. I couldn't handle looking down into my kid's eyes for a long time without remembering. They forced that baby to hold open his eye and watch as they burned out his irises. The last thing that baby ever saw was his parents smirking while lowering burning cigarettes into his eyes repeatedly. The torture. Betrayal. Agony. The filth, blisters and infection. Those parents shouldn't be allowed to ingest calories ever again. Just let them watch it happen.

To START, a fitting punishment is to do to those eye-destroying "parents" what they did to their little one. 😢 At irregular, unpredictable intervals, with the procedure-performers gleefully laughing and talking about justice being served. Aside from laws, the biggest problem would be finding people to do that job. I'm going to go cuddle my cat now.
I am an RN and at one of the teaching hospitals where I worked at one of the doctors was telling us about an ER patient from when she was working on the West Coast. This was a male patient with...you guessed it...abdominal pain. When they took the abdominal X-ray, she said that everybody just about lost their minds when they realized what they were looking at were NOT 1, NOT 2, NOT 3, BUT 7 Barbie doll heads inside this man's rectum. She also mentioned the male patient that came in and had NOT 1, but 2 live hamsters in his rectum. When I was working at a psychiatric hospital if there were medical emergencies they needed to be taken to a medical center. One night I accompanied a patient to the ER of this medical hospital. It just so happened that the radiology department was located within a wing of the ER. All of a sudden I heard this group of people laughing pretty hard and it was one of those laughs that you just had to know what was going on. When I peeked my head around the wall and asked them what was so funny, while still laughing hysterically, they motioned me to come in, they said this was one of their favorite X-rays of all time. It was an X-ray of a man's rectum that contained a jar full of baby gherkin pickles and you could see the individual pickles and the outline of the jar with the lid on it.
My mom used to be a surgical tech and has told the story of a psych patient who had to have doll heads removed from his stomach. Someone he managed to swallow them.
Sticking things up your butt isn't the issue. Sticking things up your butt that don't have a flared end (designed to prevent them from going ALL the way inside) is the issue. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean things won't get stuck if you do other things wrong, but it is less likely to happen! PSA from this PSA
Scariest thing I’ve ever gone in by EMT’s for was sudden onset abdominal pain two months after my fourth and final kidney transplant failed! I thought my kidney had ruptured! Docs couldn’t see anything on CT scan. Last thing I remember was the doctor saying, We can’t see anything on the CT. We have to do exploratory surgery!” That was a Saturday and I awoke in ICU the following Thursday! My small intestine had ruptured and doctors didn’t think I’d make it! They saw the problem but my Potassium came back sky high so they had to close me up and give dialysis then drugs to fool my body into thinking it was lower than it was! I had gone to my dialysis treatment the day before so my Potassium should’ve been fine! That was one of the very few times I actually thought I was going to die!
My mother, born in 1932, found out having her period from her older sister, not mom and of course not school. Her sister was scared she was dying when she started and found out from some other girls.
Have none of these people ever heard of sex toys? Seriously, you don't need to put pickle jars and light bulbs or any other everyday object up there! Just get some safe, sanitary sex toys and you can avoid the ER!
For anyone curious: priapism is when an erection doesn't go away, which can cause tissue damage and other issues. It's one symptom of Brazilian wandering spider bites (only reason I know this, I'm a girl and not in the medical field).
A man can also get priapism from viagra (a medication to help bring erections when he has sexual dysfunction). It even says in the drug information handout and commercials that any erection lasted four or more hours is a medical emergency. I’m a nurse but I learned that information from a commercial I’d seen in my first weeks in my nursing school program, which turned out to be a very good thing since I got a panicked call from a girlfriend whose boyfriend was having exactly that exact emergency. I let her know, and she wanted to know if I was sure that it was a real emergency since he felt fine otherwise. I yelled, “Yes, I’m sure. He needs to go to the emergency room NOW! Or neither of you will likely ever be having fun together again!” She made sure he went to the emergency room. Not how I was expecting to give my first advice as a future nurse. 😂 😅 🤣 But anyway thanks for sharing about the wandering spider bite being able to cause priapism! I’d never heard that!!!
I work in a lab at a trauma one center. This super fat guy came in with stomach pain. They took out a giant thing from his belly button. While later a doctor wanted to do more testing because they still didn’t know what it was- dropped the specimen in their hands and told them not to bring it back.
Priapism is a long lasting, painful, usually downward erection that will not go down or resolve on its own. Usually, it is a result of medications or certain health conditions. It can be dangerous for the organ in question and has to be resolved with medical intervention. The first thing they will usually try is a loading dose of decongestants as that sometimes works to get the blood to leave the affected area. The sure fire fix though is usually a mechanical aspiration of the blood with a large bore needle. I will leave it to your imagination as to why that would be terrible.
I had a patient come into my ER because he couldn't pee. A 37 year old male. He admitted it had been an issue for "weeks" and was getting worse. He told no one, not even his wife. They buried him 9 weeks later. Severe, untreated prostate cancer. He apparently had ignored the symptoms for years. Yea, not being able to pee is actually not uncommon at all. It's nearly always extremely painful. It often requires surgical intervention. Being high rarely has anything to do with it.
Story 16, that’s gonna be a lawsuit for several things. Breach of privacy, possibly Doctor patient confidentiality breach, undue emotional harm. Possibly another lawsuit against the news agency.
I used to be an orderly in an ER. I'd get to clean up drunks that came in for injuries. I had to pry what was left of his shoes off, then work on however many indistinguishable layers of socks he hadn't had off for several years. I used a scalpel AND a putty knife. You don't even want to hear about removing what I guess was his underwear. He was too drunk to care. One time I had to shave a guy's private parts for surgery. I guess I shouldn't have mentioned it was my first time shaving with a blade razor--I used an electric. Boy, was he cooperative--- and helpful!!
How much money do you think hospitals would save per year if they gave out proper adult toys with a flared base to those repeat stuff-up-the-butt offenders?
Hey that itchy sunburn thing, I did the same thing. It’s literally called Hells itch. I’ve had kidney stones, and the misery I was experiencing came close to that. I was up all night and had to go in early morning for some relief. A bad sunburn is no joke
Eyelids glued shut with superglue should not be soaked in Acetone. It may be necessary to anaesthetise to prevent eyeball movement in the interim, but the glue will fail as the surface layers of skin are shed, hopefully within couple days or even hours.
i kinda relate to the paper cut story. cut my finger w a bread knife at work and found out i had major neurological issues w my pain and neuro pathways. at first the occupational clinic was confused as hell and i’m like nah i waited like over a wk so it’s started to heal…i’ve never been in sm pain over such a bs injury. guess that’s why they took me seriously lmao
I had an injury at work where my skin was punctured in 3 spots on my hand. I developed CRPS from it and now have 3 of my nervous systems severely affected as well as only 19% use of my dominant arm now
Story #21 had me dying of laughter! I know I shouldn't be laughing about someone else's pain, but the way the story came out was hysterical! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
In our local news, that became national news in the UK. He was admitted with a live 14 inch shell about 2 inched diameter inserted anally, from WW2 (not a gun nut and can't remember what it was.) Said he tripped and fell on it. Yeh dude. The bomb squad had to be called.
Work for a vet er. I'll never forger the man who brought his Pomeranian in for "limping". The dog had been severely neglected, hadn't been groomed in years. The fur was so long and matted you couldn't make out what was dog and what wasnt. The reason the dog was "limping" (other than being complelty blind from the fur) was because his fur has gotten so tangled around his leg that it had basically turned into a tourniquet, slowly cutting off blood flow and complelty severing the leg. All things considered it was a pretty clean amputation, considering how slow the process must have been of having the fur tighten over time there were no open wounds, his leg just shriveled up from lack of blood and fallen off, only it was still semi attached to the dog because it was so wrapped up in his fur. I'm just thankful there weren't any maggots, we see a lot of maggots

@@spykethespider5070 nope, unfortunately the laws in my state are very lax about animal abuse. The fact that the owner did eventually seek medical help was case enough for him to keep the dog
The workers comp one…. Any injury at work should be reported and viewed by hospital staff. I had a work injury, it seemed minor, but I developed a bad infection and have now lost 81% use of my dominant arm, also developed CRPS and now have 3 life long disabilities because of the work injury and because I was expected to work as normal…. It’s very very very important to go to get any work injury checked. Regardless how minor it seems
My friend’s mom is an ER doctor. She had a 24-year-old man come in with really bad burns all over his skin, his clothes totally tattered, and the most awful bleeding wounds all over his body.
My sister used to work at a Starbucks and tells this insane story. They were working one day when this man wanders into the store. He is in an absolute daze, his clothes are singed and ripped to shreds, and his skin is flecking off in bloody pieces. They call the ambulance for him, and somehow he managed to tell them his meth lab had exploded.
Speaking of stucking things up your butt....lol. I dated a nurse practitioner for a while. When to pick her up for lunch on day. When I got to her office I saw a rather large male walking out. A member of our well known, championship high school football team. He was walking very strangely. Kind of a legs spread waddle. Looked kind of like a duck? Anyway, I overheard a few things while waiting on her office. I'll let you figure it out. Here's what I heard. 1. The name of the only local proctologist. 2. The word " burn." 3. The word "Roman candle." One last hint. The movie at the local theater was named Jack Ass.
If you feel the need to put stuff into your butt use things that ARE DESIGNED FOR THAT. Order online if you are too shy to shop, even shopping is less embarrassing than going to ER.
My teenaged son's school called and said he had just been taken to the hospital because his appendix had burst. I panicked and left work to go to him. The doctor said that it probably not been a rupture but something else. He went into the X-Ray room. He came back to the room.and the doctor came in and asked my teenage high school son when the last time he had a bowel movement.was. He looked at me and said 'Mom, what is he asking me?' He had never been told what that meant. I had to ask him the last time he took a dump was. He looked at me and asked when so I explained to my 16 year old son what that meant. He was constipated!
#27 reminds me of an "honorable mention" story in the Darwin Awards, where someone injected himself with something that was intended help HORSES with BREEDING. yep, ruined his dick permanently.
A few months ago I was riding my bike at the park and what looked like a 7 year old and 5 year old were in front of me. While I was going full speed I stopped and my knee hurt I looked at it and I saw this Gash where I nearly saw bone. I was walking home and I saw my mom, she saw my bloody knee and shoe and told me to wash my knee I put a wet paper towel on it and stuck on 2 bainaids and called it good. A week later I went to swimming lessons and my left was really itchy when I got home. I had hives up my back arms and legs. I kept getting hives for months and it was the worst
Not (technically) ER, not a doctor, and not me. My dad is a firefighter-paramedic and got a call somewhat early into his career for a MVC involving a motorcycle. Whole squad + truck shows up and the motorcycle rider is surprisingly awake, alert, and very obviously still running on adrenaline. Guy has an open compound tibia fracture, looking like a mid-size tree branch snapped and splintered in half, so they load him up on a stretcher and put him in the back of the ambulance. Dude proceeds to ask my dad and a few other guys how bad his injury looks, and if they would please take a picture with his phone and show him this absolutely gnarly leg injury. My dad ends up taking the guys phone and taking a picture of his leg on the way to the hospital. When my dad handed the guy his phone back, dude was surprisingly chill and said something along the lines of “Whoa, that’s so crazy.” They eventually get the dude to the hospital and I guess he was alright, it was only a leg injury and maybe some bumps, bruises, and road rash. My dad still has the picture to this day, and I cringe every time he’s shown it to me. 😅
Well, number 33 hits close to home when I was about 13 and a mental health facility. Having a merchant I clocked out and didn’t wake up for basically three days as well. Once I did they fed me dinner and then transferred me to the Children’s Hospital so I can see how that could happen as a motorist been in that same situation
In for UTI because of a bacteria ridden toilet, but it wasnt me, it was the lad before me. Corked his thigh (a common AFL injury if bad landing after a mark) which was soon seen and found to be a hamstring injury by the way he walked despite his pain in the thigh.
2:06 Umm, Mineral Oil works just as well for removing superglue. No need to burn his eye out with acetone. 10:55 Sounded like every specialist there had to preform an absolutely perfectly coordinated surgery to save the guy's life. cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, hepatology, nephrology, urology, osteology, proctology, vascular surgeon and oral surgeon to basically rebuild the guy from scratch.
1:50 If she's on birth control, she is not actually experiencing periods. The thing is, birth control pills are *specifically* made to mimic periods in the blood department as not having a period is, unsurprisingly, kinda panic-inducing.
Treated by physically removing the extra blood, one syringe at a time sometimes a saline flush to remove the deoxygenated blood to prevent necrosis. Repeat until boner drops and stays down. can take days.
Story 33 I actually dated a guy who would sleep for days at a time when he could. On his weekends he would be in bed so long I would start to freak out a bit and on regular nights he would sleep like ten or twelve hours. I could never get him to go to the doctor for it and he just blamed it on sleep apnea.
Working in an emergency veterinary hospital I had a call from a guy who said he thought his bulldogs vagina fell out. Had to have him bring her in for a prolapsed uterus. Another was a guy who went on vacation, he came back and his room mate put a farm animal neutering band on his dogs testicles because he had an argument over getting his dog neutered.
Once i had accidently broke my sisters ankle with a fourwheller (A REAL ONE) she pushed me away no broken bones or any thing for me but MY SISTERS LEG WAS UNDER THE FOURWHEELER and she was supposedly "crying" she was faking it I understand why my parents ran to me first like why I was just thrown off the four-wheeler like a little away boys end of how we got into the ER from what I heard my mom covered my eyes I think there was like a girl covered in blood at the a person screaming at her 2 give her an Uber home so I have no clue what actually happened but for a brief second I think I saw a little bit what happened it was 3 a.m. and we were eating burgers so end of story
Correction: don’t stick stuff up your butt that is not made to be. Sex toy packaging is discreet nowadays, get a toy with a flared bottom and DONT PUSH TOO HARD. Happy butt fun
People can stick stuff up their butt if they want to. The thing is that they should use stuff that are specifically designed for that function instead of random objects, for their own and the medical staff's sake. Don't be telling people how to enjoy themselves
Why are so many of these stories about things in people's butts? Like when people say they fell on it, were you naked? Sex Toys are at least understandable.
I feel like at least 10% of ER care would stop when men can remember they can also buy dildos, if lesbians can buy them and not be straight you can buy em and not be gay
To answer your question if people will stop putting stuff up their butts, no that will never happen. People are crazy, and will do the weirdest s*** no matter what

I once had to go to the ER for possibly having appendicitis, ended up losing what felt like 20 pounds of poop. Most embarrassing day of my life.
Me, too. Although, I felt perfectly fine and it was my radiologist who wanted to send me to the ER after I had a CT scan done.
Bet you felt physically better afterwards though. Tough break being literally full of shit. 😂

I responded to major trauma and no patient showed up. Half hour a 16 yo showed up with a 4x4 sticking out of his chest. Paramedic said his out of control car crashed a fence, ripped the 4x4 out of ground, through the windshield, steering wheel, his chest, and the seat! They had to cut the wood just in front of the boy, made him lean forward (yeah, he was conscious!) and cut the 4x4 off near his back. Next day parents wanted him to go home from ICU. Doctor showed them photos convince them to not sign him out.
7:00 I'm pretty sure there's actually a law that says that the news isn't supposed to report a death until after the family has been informed first. This came about after Buddy Holly's death in the 50's

My Sister, a brother, and my self have a metabolic condition called cystinuria. So we know when we have kidney Stones. My sister having a kidney stone attack went to ER and they said she must be imagining that. Her doctor later told the nurses and doctors that she could educate them and knew more they they knew. Another time I went in and said the same thing. I was in pain for almost 4 hours before the ER people came back and said yes I had a kidney stone and to send me to Urology surgery stat. Sometime patients know a lot more then ER.
No doctor is going to know e:erything about every condition. I just wish medics wouldn't try to hide it when they have no clue. I started going to the physicians assistant I have now because he said he didn't know what was wrong with me but he knew who to ask.
This is something I heard or read somewhere and I think it’s a good PSA: “If the base doesn’t flare, don’t stick it up there”. Good advice.
The parents of one of my friends got a phone call from the ER about one of their daughters that was on a car accident. Both parents went to the hospital and while they waited to talk with a doctor the mother started looking around for her daughter. She found her. Dead on an ambulance stretcher. She was 22 years old. Too many accidents that night and somebody somehow made a mistake. Imagine
Story 12 is so sad, I can just image the utter Terry that 16 year old was feeling and understand why he crashed into the bay as he moat likely was just flooring it to get to the hospital so couldn't stop.
Hope the younger brother lived.
I gotta tell this one (I'm not from the US). I was with my bf in the ER waiting for some tests results. This was in 2021, still with the rona going strong so there weren't rooms or beds, we were left in a hallway waiting because he would only be priority depending on the results. But they wouldn't let him go just in case, so we were left there waiting and witnessing a lot of things. A woman walked in with a friend, the woman was holding a hankerchief over her head and claiming it hurt so much. They were just around the corner and we heard more or less what was happening but didn't see anything. The woman had hurt her head some time ago and let it get infected. Not only that, it was infested with eggs of some insect (i guess from flies). The doctors and nurses had to clean it. We heard screams of pain, saw the staff walking in a hurry and some left the room to compose themselves. There were hundred if not thousands of eggs, some med students described them as "similar to rice". Then the cleaners came and left in a shock taking a bucket full of the thing, I tried to see it but couldn't. Two hours later the woman left, with her head all bandaged, an antibiotic prescription and a warning to not let this happen again.
idk how this would happen once, let alone twice.
Something similar to #21 happened to me a few months ago, my stomach was hurting so bad that I was squirming around, so I had my step mom bring me to the hospital and it turned out to just be bad constpation. I wound up getting a CT scan and was in the hospital from like midnight to 8AM, I felt dumb afterwards, but I really had no clue what was going on and was worried that it was something a lot worse.
5:25 fair warning this is Graphic child abuse against a toddler
I heard this story when my kid was two. The eye burning has haunted me for years,l. I'd forgotten where I'd heard it. The horror had worn down. It's one of very few things that give me nightmares. I couldn't handle looking down into my kid's eyes for a long time without remembering.
They forced that baby to hold open his eye and watch as they burned out his irises.
The last thing that baby ever saw was his parents smirking while lowering burning cigarettes into his eyes repeatedly. The torture. Betrayal. Agony. The filth, blisters and infection.
Those parents shouldn't be allowed to ingest calories ever again. Just let them watch it happen.

To START, a fitting punishment is to do to those eye-destroying "parents" what they did to their little one. 😢
At irregular, unpredictable intervals, with the procedure-performers gleefully laughing and talking about justice being served.
Aside from laws, the biggest problem would be finding people to do that job.

That story was the most disturbing thing that Iv'e heard in a very long time.
I am an RN and at one of the teaching hospitals where I worked at one of the doctors was telling us about an ER patient from when she was working on the West Coast. This was a male patient with...you guessed it...abdominal pain. When they took the abdominal X-ray, she said that everybody just about lost their minds when they realized what they were looking at were NOT 1, NOT 2, NOT 3, BUT 7 Barbie doll heads inside this man's rectum. She also mentioned the male patient that came in and had NOT 1, but 2 live hamsters in his rectum. When I was working at a psychiatric hospital if there were medical emergencies they needed to be taken to a medical center. One night I accompanied a patient to the ER of this medical hospital. It just so happened that the radiology department was located within a wing of the ER. All of a sudden I heard this group of people laughing pretty hard and it was one of those laughs that you just had to know what was going on. When I peeked my head around the wall and asked them what was so funny, while still laughing hysterically, they motioned me to come in, they said this was one of their favorite X-rays of all time. It was an X-ray of a man's rectum that contained a jar full of baby gherkin pickles and you could see the individual pickles and the outline of the jar with the lid on it.
My mom used to be a surgical tech and has told the story of a psych patient who had to have doll heads removed from his stomach. Someone he managed to swallow them.
Sticking things up your butt isn't the issue. Sticking things up your butt that don't have a flared end (designed to prevent them from going ALL the way inside) is the issue. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean things won't get stuck if you do other things wrong, but it is less likely to happen! PSA from this PSA
in other words, don't stick anything up your butt _that isn't designed to go up there_
Thank you; came here to say that! Flared bases, kiddies.
Scariest thing I’ve ever gone in by EMT’s for was sudden onset abdominal pain two months after my fourth and final kidney transplant failed! I thought my kidney had ruptured! Docs couldn’t see anything on CT scan. Last thing I remember was the doctor saying, We can’t see anything on the CT. We have to do exploratory surgery!” That was a Saturday and I awoke in ICU the following Thursday! My small intestine had ruptured and doctors didn’t think I’d make it! They saw the problem but my Potassium came back sky high so they had to close me up and give dialysis then drugs to fool my body into thinking it was lower than it was! I had gone to my dialysis treatment the day before so my Potassium should’ve been fine! That was one of the very few times I actually thought I was going to die!
1:55 - Now to be fair, depending on where she lived, her health class might have been so abysmally bad that they didn't cover periods....
My mother, born in 1932, found out having her period from her older sister, not mom and of course not school. Her sister was scared she was dying when she started and found out from some other girls.
Have none of these people ever heard of sex toys? Seriously, you don't need to put pickle jars and light bulbs or any other everyday object up there! Just get some safe, sanitary sex toys and you can avoid the ER!
For anyone curious: priapism is when an erection doesn't go away, which can cause tissue damage and other issues. It's one symptom of Brazilian wandering spider bites (only reason I know this, I'm a girl and not in the medical field).
Thank you for answering this!
A man can also get priapism from viagra (a medication to help bring erections when he has sexual dysfunction). It even says in the drug information handout and commercials that any erection lasted four or more hours is a medical emergency.
I’m a nurse but I learned that information from a commercial I’d seen in my first weeks in my nursing school program, which turned out to be a very good thing since I got a panicked call from a girlfriend whose boyfriend was having exactly that exact emergency.
I let her know, and she wanted to know if I was sure that it was a real emergency since he felt fine otherwise. I yelled, “Yes, I’m sure. He needs to go to the emergency room NOW! Or neither of you will likely ever be having fun together again!” She made sure he went to the emergency room. Not how I was expecting to give my first advice as a future nurse. 😂 😅 🤣
But anyway thanks for sharing about the wandering spider bite being able to cause priapism! I’d never heard that!!!
The fish feed and grow gameplay in the background is giving me mass nostalgia
People who put live animals inside themselves like that should be put in jail for animal abuse.
The guy getting impaled and surviving that oddly terrifying yet oddly, hilarious.
I work in a lab at a trauma one center. This super fat guy came in with stomach pain. They took out a giant thing from his belly button. While later a doctor wanted to do more testing because they still didn’t know what it was- dropped the specimen in their hands and told them not to bring it back.
It was probably a omphalolith.
@@kujo3423 Oh god what is that?

@@kujo3423 Oh ewww
Priapism is a long lasting, painful, usually downward erection that will not go down or resolve on its own. Usually, it is a result of medications or certain health conditions. It can be dangerous for the organ in question and has to be resolved with medical intervention. The first thing they will usually try is a loading dose of decongestants as that sometimes works to get the blood to leave the affected area. The sure fire fix though is usually a mechanical aspiration of the blood with a large bore needle. I will leave it to your imagination as to why that would be terrible.
I have never been so high that I mistook having to pee as a medical problem🤣🤣🤣
I had a patient come into my ER because he couldn't pee.
A 37 year old male.
He admitted it had been an issue for "weeks" and was getting worse.
He told no one, not even his wife.
They buried him 9 weeks later.
Severe, untreated prostate cancer. He apparently had ignored the symptoms for years.
Yea, not being able to pee is actually not uncommon at all.
It's nearly always extremely painful.
It often requires surgical intervention.
Being high rarely has anything to do with it.
The fart one had me laughing like crazy
Story 16, that’s gonna be a lawsuit for several things. Breach of privacy, possibly Doctor patient confidentiality breach, undue emotional harm.
Possibly another lawsuit against the news agency.
I used to be an orderly in an ER. I'd get to clean up drunks that came in for injuries. I had to pry what was left of his shoes off, then work on however many indistinguishable layers of socks he hadn't had off for several years. I used a scalpel AND a putty knife. You don't even want to hear about removing what I guess was his underwear. He was too drunk to care. One time I had to shave a guy's private parts for surgery. I guess I shouldn't have mentioned it was my first time shaving with a blade razor--I used an electric. Boy, was he cooperative--- and helpful!!
How much money do you think hospitals would save per year if they gave out proper adult toys with a flared base to those repeat stuff-up-the-butt offenders?
Please tell me there's a calendar full of xrays of weird things up the butt!
I swear people are something else in these Reddit stories
Hey that itchy sunburn thing, I did the same thing. It’s literally called Hells itch. I’ve had kidney stones, and the misery I was experiencing came close to that. I was up all night and had to go in early morning for some relief. A bad sunburn is no joke
10:27 that one just about killed me trying to imagine what that must’ve sounded like!
“Would everyone just stop putting stuff up their butt?” 😂😂😂😂
The school rivalry thing is one of the many reasons that I hate sports.

Eyelids glued shut with superglue should not be soaked in Acetone. It may be necessary to anaesthetise to prevent eyeball movement in the interim, but the glue will fail as the surface layers of skin are shed, hopefully within couple days or even hours.
the one about thte baby having his eyes removed, jesus ppl are sick.
i kinda relate to the paper cut story. cut my finger w a bread knife at work and found out i had major neurological issues w my pain and neuro pathways. at first the occupational clinic was confused as hell and i’m like nah i waited like over a wk so it’s started to heal…i’ve never been in sm pain over such a bs injury. guess that’s why they took me seriously lmao
I had an injury at work where my skin was punctured in 3 spots on my hand. I developed CRPS from it and now have 3 of my nervous systems severely affected as well as only 19% use of my dominant arm now
For story 24, I find the placement of the hand sanitizer ironic
Story #13 - Those aren't parents, even monsters is too light a name for them
I wonder if they were using drugs?
The cancer stories always break my heart
Story #21 had me dying of laughter! I know I shouldn't be laughing about someone else's pain, but the way the story came out was hysterical! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
In our local news, that became national news in the UK. He was admitted with a live 14 inch shell about 2 inched diameter inserted anally, from WW2 (not a gun nut and can't remember what it was.) Said he tripped and fell on it. Yeh dude. The bomb squad had to be called.
I watch a silly news show on UA-cam and they do an annual list of things like this. This one was on there last year I believe.
The 'back in WV' had me scared a bit😂
Work for a vet er. I'll never forger the man who brought his Pomeranian in for "limping". The dog had been severely neglected, hadn't been groomed in years. The fur was so long and matted you couldn't make out what was dog and what wasnt. The reason the dog was "limping" (other than being complelty blind from the fur) was because his fur has gotten so tangled around his leg that it had basically turned into a tourniquet, slowly cutting off blood flow and complelty severing the leg. All things considered it was a pretty clean amputation, considering how slow the process must have been of having the fur tighten over time there were no open wounds, his leg just shriveled up from lack of blood and fallen off, only it was still semi attached to the dog because it was so wrapped up in his fur. I'm just thankful there weren't any maggots, we see a lot of maggots

POOR DOG..... and disgusting human beings!!!!
Please say you were able to take it from the owners.
@@spykethespider5070 nope, unfortunately the laws in my state are very lax about animal abuse. The fact that the owner did eventually seek medical help was case enough for him to keep the dog
The workers comp one….
Any injury at work should be reported and viewed by hospital staff.
I had a work injury, it seemed minor, but I developed a bad infection and have now lost 81% use of my dominant arm, also developed CRPS and now have 3 life long disabilities because of the work injury and because I was expected to work as normal….
It’s very very very important to go to get any work injury checked. Regardless how minor it seems
My friend’s mom is an ER doctor. She had a 24-year-old man come in with really bad burns all over his skin, his clothes totally tattered, and the most awful bleeding wounds all over his body.
My sister used to work at a Starbucks and tells this insane story. They were working one day when this man wanders into the store. He is in an absolute daze, his clothes are singed and ripped to shreds, and his skin is flecking off in bloody pieces. They call the ambulance for him, and somehow he managed to tell them his meth lab had exploded.
Super glue in the eye after glass. I wonder if anyone was sued for that!
I think the two guys did that not the hospital
"Maybe try a sandwich." Maybe give the poor man a sandwich.
Speaking of stucking things up your butt....lol.
I dated a nurse practitioner for a while.
When to pick her up for lunch on day.
When I got to her office I saw a rather large male walking out. A member of our well known, championship high school football team.
He was walking very strangely. Kind of a legs spread waddle. Looked kind of like a duck?
Anyway, I overheard a few things while waiting on her office.
I'll let you figure it out.
Here's what I heard.
1. The name of the only local proctologist.
2. The word " burn."
3. The word "Roman candle."
One last hint. The movie at the local theater was named Jack Ass.
If you feel the need to put stuff into your butt use things that ARE DESIGNED FOR THAT. Order online if you are too shy to shop, even shopping is less embarrassing than going to ER.
You should google it, not as bad as it sounds
The guy with the 24 hour erection is what that word you wound look up is
My teenaged son's school called and said he had just been taken to the hospital because his appendix had burst. I panicked and left work to go to him. The doctor said that it probably not been a rupture but something else. He went into the X-Ray room. He came back to the room.and the doctor came in and asked my teenage high school son when the last time he had a bowel movement.was. He looked at me and said 'Mom, what is he asking me?' He had never been told what that meant. I had to ask him the last time he took a dump was. He looked at me and asked when so I explained to my 16 year old son what that meant. He was constipated!
You should be ashamed.
Calm/satisfying gameplay will always take the cake for me!!
Hi I love your videos are the best hope you make another one soon
Really, the first story the lay was an idiot for saying she was alergic to oxigen, there isn't such allergy
#27 reminds me of an "honorable mention" story in the Darwin Awards, where someone injected himself with something that was intended help HORSES with BREEDING.
yep, ruined his dick permanently.
@ 10:41 RAFLMAO, honestly I fell on top of it is the usual saying, yeh right, lol
A few months ago I was riding my bike at the park and what looked like a 7 year old and 5 year old were in front of me. While I was going full speed I stopped and my knee hurt I looked at it and I saw this Gash where I nearly saw bone. I was walking home and I saw my mom, she saw my bloody knee and shoe and told me to wash my knee I put a wet paper towel on it and stuck on 2 bainaids and called it good. A week later I went to swimming lessons and my left was really itchy when I got home. I had hives up my back arms and legs. I kept getting hives for months and it was the worst
"Ha ha! You missed all my vital spots!" said the guy with the arrow through his head.
3:47 I thought the exact same thing
This site talks about medical issues but, @ 9:24 the narrator reverts to saying "thing" instead of "penis"? How immature!
¡Exactamente!
Not (technically) ER, not a doctor, and not me.
My dad is a firefighter-paramedic and got a call somewhat early into his career for a MVC involving a motorcycle. Whole squad + truck shows up and the motorcycle rider is surprisingly awake, alert, and very obviously still running on adrenaline. Guy has an open compound tibia fracture, looking like a mid-size tree branch snapped and splintered in half, so they load him up on a stretcher and put him in the back of the ambulance.
Dude proceeds to ask my dad and a few other guys how bad his injury looks, and if they would please take a picture with his phone and show him this absolutely gnarly leg injury. My dad ends up taking the guys phone and taking a picture of his leg on the way to the hospital. When my dad handed the guy his phone back, dude was surprisingly chill and said something along the lines of “Whoa, that’s so crazy.”
They eventually get the dude to the hospital and I guess he was alright, it was only a leg injury and maybe some bumps, bruises, and road rash. My dad still has the picture to this day, and I cringe every time he’s shown it to me. 😅
Well, number 33 hits close to home when I was about 13 and a mental health facility. Having a merchant I clocked out and didn’t wake up for basically three days as well. Once I did they fed me dinner and then transferred me to the Children’s Hospital so I can see how that could happen as a motorist been in that same situation
Love you"re story's thank you ❤
Thank you for the good captions.
1:07 probably, since it’s a mimic of a cockring. Don’t do this without professional equipment, and ESPECIALLY don’t use this as a birth control.
This reminds me of a TikTok from an ER doctor who was just like "Use a proper dil*o!!! It needs a wide base!!!"
In for UTI because of a bacteria ridden toilet, but it wasnt me, it was the lad before me. Corked his thigh (a common AFL injury if bad landing after a mark) which was soon seen and found to be a hamstring injury by the way he walked despite his pain in the thigh.
Priapism is an unwanted erection that lasts a long time and is really really painful, it's usually common in anemic patients.
2:06 Umm, Mineral Oil works just as well for removing superglue. No need to burn his eye out with acetone.
10:55 Sounded like every specialist there had to preform an absolutely perfectly coordinated surgery to save the guy's life. cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, hepatology, nephrology, urology, osteology, proctology, vascular surgeon and oral surgeon to basically rebuild the guy from scratch.
1:50 If she's on birth control, she is not actually experiencing periods. The thing is, birth control pills are *specifically* made to mimic periods in the blood department as not having a period is, unsurprisingly, kinda panic-inducing.
There’s a reason medical professionals are often known to say “if it doesn’t have a flare, it doesn’t go THERE!” 😂
0:12 "IM ALLERGIC TO OXYGEN!!!!!! " how the fak are you allergic to faking air!?💀
Priapism is where you get a random boner that won't go down. Usually caused by meds f9r that area or antidepressants
Also a potential side effect of some adhd meds now. Was a new warning I read on my son's meds.
Treated by physically removing the extra blood, one syringe at a time
sometimes a saline flush to remove the deoxygenated blood to prevent necrosis.
Repeat until boner drops and stays down. can take days.
@@GrifoStelle that is a hell I am glad I'll never experience.
Story 33
I actually dated a guy who would sleep for days at a time when he could. On his weekends he would be in bed so long I would start to freak out a bit and on regular nights he would sleep like ten or twelve hours. I could never get him to go to the doctor for it and he just blamed it on sleep apnea.
And I thought I was a champion sleeper! Last time I lost whole days I had Mono.
I was changing a light bulb, or i was walking and fell. You would need to be NAKED for that to happen.
Working in an emergency veterinary hospital I had a call from a guy who said he thought his bulldogs vagina fell out. Had to have him bring her in for a prolapsed uterus. Another was a guy who went on vacation, he came back and his room mate put a farm animal neutering band on his dogs testicles because he had an argument over getting his dog neutered.
Hospital in farming area. Kids played chicken with combine harvesters. Guess what they look like after a combine eats them.
The love board when I heard that I just thought of a wooden pizza paddle you know what they use to scoop up the pizza
Y'know, I really think that any story that involves something stuck up the butt should be disqualified as a weird story at this point.
Once i had accidently broke my sisters ankle with a fourwheller (A REAL ONE) she pushed me away no broken bones or any thing for me but MY SISTERS LEG WAS UNDER THE FOURWHEELER and she was supposedly "crying" she was faking it I understand why my parents ran to me first like why I was just thrown off the four-wheeler like a little away boys end of how we got into the ER from what I heard my mom covered my eyes I think there was like a girl covered in blood at the a person screaming at her 2 give her an Uber home so I have no clue what actually happened but for a brief second I think I saw a little bit what happened it was 3 a.m. and we were eating burgers so end of story

There is nothing wrong with the world it's just the people who are in it
Correction: don’t stick stuff up your butt that is not made to be. Sex toy packaging is discreet nowadays, get a toy with a flared bottom and DONT PUSH TOO HARD. Happy butt fun
People can stick stuff up their butt if they want to. The thing is that they should use stuff that are specifically designed for that function instead of random objects, for their own and the medical staff's sake. Don't be telling people how to enjoy themselves
Just watching this make my butt feel hurt. Ouch.
You heard it here folks. Don't stick things up your butt. Seriously. 😅
I've watched too many of these to not wonder what game is that in the background?
Why are so many of these stories about things in people's butts? Like when people say they fell on it, were you naked? Sex Toys are at least understandable.
Why are you boiling pine-sol before using it???
I love fish game
I feel like at least 10% of ER care would stop when men can remember they can also buy dildos, if lesbians can buy them and not be straight you can buy em and not be gay

To answer your question if people will stop putting stuff up their butts, no that will never happen. People are crazy, and will do the weirdest s*** no matter what
