It finally happened - after 3 years in X-ray!

I’m going to go out on a limb here and conjecture that it is stinging up there already.

Heck, it may not even be an acronym, it may just be a contraction for Foreign OBject…

Just when I thought I’d have nothing to contribute to a thread with this subject matter, you come along. Uncooked squash is fibrous and hard as a brick, so your suggestion would not work.

Taken out of context, this quote could come back to haunt you.

In context, it ain’t so great either. :smiley:

Worst thing I’ve seen up a urethra was a Bic “4 colour” pen. I assume the guy was just hoping he could pee in the snow in green, blue, black or red at the touch of a button.

The surgeon tried without success to gut the squash, for the reasons Chefguy said. Cutting open the bowel to get something out also means ending up with a colostomy bag.

Now we know.

**What feels better: a good bowel movement or sex? ( 1 2 ) **

That’s a great line, but I think I should complain about the poor level of service in your ER. A truly caring doctor would have changed the batteries.

As a matter of fact, back when I was a Rad Tech student, a resident from another hospital told me that, while he was doing his ER residency, a guy came into the ER twice within a few days with the same complaint: foreign object in rectum.

He swears that, the second time, he said, “Do you want me to take it out or just change the batteries?”

If he did, then he truly became a Legend In His Own Time.

Hence the necessity of heating the patient up to 350 degrees for an hour before attenmpting the procedure.

I think Alton Brown may suggest an unglazed terracotta pot be shoved up as well to improve the convection currents.

During my employ as an ER tech, a young lady arrived one evening and refused to divulge the nature of her complaint to anyone but the Doc. He accompanied her into the minor OR, and after ~ 10 minutes she exited the room, and the ER. Quickly. The Doc emerged holding a stalk of celery in his forceps and asked, “Who wants salad?” :stuck_out_tongue:

I might say something like that and I know some docs that would too.

Y’ever seen Jackass: The Movie?

You should see Jackass: The Movie.

I once saw a list of objects that doctors have had to pull out of people’s poo chutes. I’ve forgotten all of them except one - a magazine.

A magazine? WTF? :eek:

“Hey, I think I’ll take that copy of House and Garden, roll it up, and jam it right up my jacksie! Yup, sounds a plan!”

I’ve seen Jackass: The Movie. That’s the main reason I’m still waiting.

And everyone know celery is best used for garnishing Caesars. Most of the doctors I know would make some snarky comment.

Please tell me the patients name was Mary and she was on her period. That will complete my little internal snicker over celery being a garnish for a bloody mary :stuck_out_tongue:
