Ok I'll start from my plethora of calls over the years. LOL

Lightbulb in the rear
remote control in the rear (the patient "accidentially" sat on it.

)
Cucumber x2
Coke Bottle
and finally

a shower head.. Ouch....

Talked to a medic that transported a person with a 3D cell police issued maglite stuck in the rear end. Doesn't sound too comfortable.

One of my first calls as a new EMT was for an "unknown medical" which turned out to be.... just not that.

Met the police officer at the door in this position:

Walked in to find a woman and her dog kneeling next to each other in the bathroom. The dog was "stuck" in the woman.

Long story short, the only way to rectify (pun intended) the situation was to help the dog "finish."

I will never forget that one.

Back in the days of me working as a ER Tech many moons ago during a insanely busy 4th of July shift I see this man being brought back and placed into a ED room. Patient was in a US Forest Service uniform uniform and walked as though he may have been having some lower back problems. So it was one of those days I was in auto-mode as it was so busy and just grabbed Workman's comp paperwork and headed towards the room to start VS and getting info.

So I get to the room and he is standing next to the bed arching his back with his backside up in the air. I hand him the Workers comp paper work and begin my assessment and data gathering. He says "Oh, this isn't Workman's comp" And I said But you in uniform did this happen before you got to work? and he says, "Yup, I have a dildo stuck up my ***" Followed by a "Yeah, it happens..." with a serious look on his face. Had to leave the room immediately and couldn't return to him for 10 minutes because I couldn't keep from laughing as I got even close to his room.

The MD and myself tried for 45 minutes to get that thing out with him sedated before we gave up and he had to be transferred to somewhere else to have it extracted.

Worse thing was I would see this guy multiple times through out the years for work purposes. Never could look him straight in the eye after that.

There are some people who enjoy that sort of image. Alas, I as well, am not one of them.

Ha, I'm sorry guys. It's just one of those stories you can't not tell.

Part of a Poland Springs water bottle. Surprisingly I still love that water. But mostly when my patients have something stuck in them, it's usually their own feces.
