      I read a book once in the late-80s from EMTs and Paramedics about the oddest calls they'd been on. There were a few stories that I recall to this day. The woman that thought it was "romantic" to insert a rose stem - with thorns - into her boyfriend's urethra... And the couple that celebrated their wedding anniversary by using the husband's wedding band as a c--k ring. And the wine glass inserted in the rectum that broke internally...
      This was in the 1980s, and I'm fairly certain the stories haven't gotten tamer as the years have passed. They probably have heard it all, and probably even treated the same issue a time or two (or spoke with a fellow doctor that has) and that could make the literal difference between life and death.

    I’m 62. When I was about 5, I became obsessed with a dark green oil my grandmother had on her vanity. It was OLBA’s Oil. It contains wintergreen, eucalyptus, juniper, clove, and peppermint essential oils and is still sold today. I kept asking my grandmother if I could use it but she forbad me, saying that was for adults. It is actually an old formula for muscle aches and pains, pre-dating Ben-Gay type creams. One day, I was alone in my grandmother’s bedroom. I rubbed the oil all over myself. Within seconds, I felt faint but was too scared to tell my parents or grandparents what I had done. I felt like screaming. My skin was burning 🔥 and itching like crazy. I dashed into the bathroom and ran a tub of cold water and sat in it for over an hour, washing off the oil and refilling the tub and washing until I felt well enough to put clothes back on and come out of the bathroom. The worse was over. But it still took several more hours before the burning and itching completely stopped. That oil was just too strong for my young skin. I knew I wasn’t allowed to use that oil and I wasn’t allowed to take a bath by myself at that age either. But I kept quiet and said nothing because I also knew I would be in big trouble if my parents or grandparents knew what I had done. Needless to say, I never sampled that oil that again. 🤣

      You're fine. It was more than 2 years ago and wasn't a chronic exposure (meaning it didn't happen repeatedly). In all likelihood, the cream they gave you was probably similar to the one discussed in this case and contained menthol, camphor, and an active ingredient like salicylate.

      As a former teen (not a boy though), I fully support nurses like you who know how to get the truth. But I think there needs to be a standard of kicking the parents out during questioning, not just asking the kid if they want their parents to step out. I know a teen is usually a minor and all that comes with the minor/parent relationship, but there's a lot of things teens don't want to share with their parents and that information could be the truth. Send the parents for a walk and get all the facts from the kid.

      I used to be a call taker in an ambulance service and took a call like this. The caller was in agony but started with "I've fallen out the window from the 4th floor", luckily falling mostly in some thick bushes. After keeping him talking for a bit whilst the truck was enroute he admitted that he'd actually tried to kill himself... He went and got some rope, tied a noose, tied the end to an old iron radiator, put his neck in the noose, and jumped. The problem is that he miscalculated. It wasn't the fourth floor he jumped from...but the third.

    When I was in the Army doing jungle patrolling we were frequently attacked by land leeches, which are very common in some parts of the rainforest. The remedy was to apply insect repellent to our boots and flies, which effectively stopped the leeches climbing our legs and getting in. The repellent was a liquid in a metal tube which was unsuitable for the face because it produced a strange sensation if it reached one's lips and there was a warning not to get it into ones eyes. However, when applied to the flies to prevent leeches getting at one's willy, the repellent sometimes made contact with the scrotum and was quite painful, so most men stopped using it there. The warmer and more humid the weather, the more painful it was, so be careful how you use it.

    After I had my son I tore really, really badly. The hospital sent me home with a can marked “pain relieving spray” and it was a lifesaver because I couldn’t take pain medication since I was breastfeeding.
    So I run out and head down to CVS and grab a bottle that said pain spray. I had no idea icyhot came in a spray or even what icyhot was. I was 21 and relatively healthy so I’d never needed to know.
    I didn’t even hesitate before spraying my stitches with the icyhot. I have never felt pain like that, even natural childbirth wasn’t as bad. Washing it with water and soap doesn’t do anything once it gets in there. It was pure agony for long enough that I almost passed out.

      I disagree. Imo this stuff in this video should be common knowledge and probably lifes will be saved by this video, I for example had no idea something like this could be so fatal and I bet mostly no one knew of it been a danger either

      @@ferreroman2913 true. My first thoughts were, salicylate toxicity, but couldn't recall if it was in the ointment that was indicated. It's a common ingredient, as doctor mentioned and if recognized late, is terminally bad news for the patient and family.
      Other toxins to mitochondria can cause malignant hyperthermia, in short, a dangerous to fatal fever, salicylates block that method of energy production and hence, part of why they lower fevers in therapeutic doses.
      Remember, the dose makes the poison - too much of a good thing can and will kill.

      The scenarios may be of people doing crazy thing for lols, but the presentation is getting better. I noticed with this video, Chubbyemu have a recap of the topics covered at the end, which is good addition.

    Great information and video. I use that for pain relieve on my neck and shoulder sometimes. But I don’t use too much.
