Doctors What Was Your "OH GOD, WHAT IS THAT?" Moment?

doctors over at it what is your most oh my god what is that moment while treating a patient a famous australian he is in the entertainment industry who was a trainee doctor tells a great story of a guy who came into the ear with something up his rectum they took x-rays and had to take it out turns out the patient had a hammer up his rectum a doctor asked if he could keep it to put in his museum of things taken out of people's asses the patient said no the doctor could not keep it the patient's reason it was part of a set not a doctor but a nurse was working in emergency for first five years if my career old guy about 80 presents foreign body in his butt turns out to be a war vet and had a live shell about the size of a slim coconut his arse probably about nine inches long he was very stoic however we had to call australia's version of the bomb squad to assist in the removal exciting days poor lonely old guy tl dr giza so artillery much insertion as a medical student in a urology office we had a young healthy male coming with problems urinating he said he had hesitancy and a decreased stream pretty odd for a young male so the doctor went through all the standard questions and it was a benign physical exam did a prostate examine nothing was out of the ordinary there either so after a couple visits a cystoscopy was done a little black tube with a camera on the end is shoved up your pee hole to look at your bladder well this guy had strictures all over the place extremely odd so more questions like have you ever had a catheter nonchalantly oh yeah hundreds of times for what well when my partner and i host parties i take a catheter and drain my bladder we both thought that was strange and thought maybe he doesn't want to miss any other party by having to pee we were clueless so then he states and then i fill my bladder up with red or white wine okay it doesn't work like that but chugging sure but not a bladder so here comes the kicker this guy would go around and pee in people's mouths to give them a drink of wine it was a big gay orgy come to find out i just recently caught up with an old friend who is now an old nurse and she told me this gem she was preparing a morbidly obese woman for surgery scrubbing her down and cleaning the areas up underneath fat rolls that haven't seen the light of day and god knows how many years when she picked up one particularly hefty roll around the side of this lady near the lower back she stopped suddenly is that a bone she mustered her courage and continued to investigate a moment later she uncovered the skeleton of a small kitten the bones were fused with the still-rotting flesh of the sad little creature holding back tears and vomit she walked around to face the large woman mom i don't want to alarm you but i've just found the remains of a small cat in one of your fat rolls lady's response seemingly unfazed oh i've been looking for him apparently people this huge develop rather thick calluses in their fat rolls from all the friction this cat could have been clawing for life in there and she might not have felt a thing poor little guy died trying to claw his way out of heck the cat and the fat this is a little different but i worked as a tech in a mental hospital one of my jobs was to go through and catalog a patient's belonging when they were admitted one day a woman came in for her third or fourth stay she's pretty disheveled as per usual and smells pretty rough which means going through her bag will be no fun i pull a pair of gloves on and get started opening the bag releases the most awful smell like something had died in the bag so with my gloves on and considering a second pair too i dig in i find normal stuff dirty shirt that has holes in it used tampons coins and cash that are sticky bits of fur wait i think bits offer that strange and here at the bottom of the bag is more i lift up some dirty pants and there it is a dead cat slightly rotting something had died in this bag after that she was kicked out of the last place she had lived she stuffed the cat in the bag to keep it warm and safe and apparently forgot it while my wife was in medical school she helped treat a patient who was having difficulty urinating she and the doc asked all the preliminary questions but they still weren't sure what the problem might be so the doc orders an x-ray she notices a tangle of dark lines in the patient's bladder the doctor then went in to show the patient the results as she was thoroughly stumped after the patient sees the x-ray he freely offers up that he likes to take baby snakes and let them slither up his urethra where they ultimately die in his bladder his reason for doing this well he said it gave him a funny feeling that's a trip to the psych ward right there i am not a doctor but a nurse going on 18 years yes i have seen so amazing things in my career people talk about finding maggots in wounds well we actually use them in our hospital to clean up wounds ordered from a lab in cali they are raised in a sterile environment and packed into a sterile specimen cup and shipped overnight the normal application is five zero zero one zero zero zero maggots per wound they are placed into the wound and secured with a mesh drsg and left in the wound normally two four days then washed out and disposed off they only eat dead flesh usually air and felt and do a tremendous job so that the pt can't avoid surgery i once had to put 20 000 on a young lady who came in with necrotizing fasciitis with her leg started as a cat scratch on her knee pt ignored it over several days while it was eating her tissues she came in unresponsive in the home and septic after keeping it from her family when she arrived the only thing holding her leg on was the muscle bone and dead tissue the points family wished to save the leg and avoid amputation surgeon said to do maggots five hours later they were applied she eventually lost the leg and underwent amputation early on in my career we took a call for an unconscious unresponsive female we get on scene and fire is already there they are in full bunker gear with scbas we could smell it from outside this lady had a colostomy and developed c diff she rolled out of bed and the bag tore out she laid in an ever growing puddle of her own crap for two days before someone found her the saws she had were so infected the smell was awful we had to drag her outside and spray her off with a water hose before transport that ambulance was out of service for a week being deckoned was working in a free clinic and the residence of a halfway house came as a group to get checked out i picked up a file found my patient and we went back to our little curtained off area he seemed a little off but so did many of our patients high rates of drug abuse mental illness etc i can do that so that didn't really throw me i asked him what we could do for him today and he said i want you to look at my head i ask him what is wrong with his head and he just says that it hurts and i need to look at it i ask him to take his hat off he says i think you should have gloves first that should have been my first warning i assure him it will be fine and he slowly takes off his hat underneath is a drag so i still can't see anything but that's when the smell started it's a smell you can't really describe unless you've smelled it but many of the other healthcare people here will know it was foul putrefying like flesh was rotting i can't even find the words i ask him to take off the doughrag and so he starts to peel it off as i get hit full force with a wall of the worst smell i've ever experienced i see his head as entirely covered with abscesses big ones inches in diameter all coalescing together to completely cover his scalp many were bursting open with pus oozing out his head was a minefield of pus i decide that now might be a good time to grab some gloves it turns out he also had similar abscesses in his armpits which i looked at and confirmed and in his groin which i did not everything was oozing pus and smelling so incredibly bad by this point the smell was permeating throughout the rest of clinic and as close as i was to the source i don't know how i didn't throw up although he was in pain he didn't seem to understand how serious it was that level of infection anywhere is bad but in the head has the risk of finding its way into the skull and therefore the brain and it took a lot of persuading to convince him he needed to go to the ed for higher level treatment than we could do this was near the beginning of my training and i've seen a lot more gross things since then but that's the moment that i always remember i once made a nurse scream oh my god she got reprimanded even though i just laughed and didn't mind i had terrible pink eye in both eyes it literally looked like i just had bright red eyeballs worst i've ever seen i was in my senior year of college in the middle of midterms so i had to put off my doctor's app for like two extra days during that time my one eyes mild case of pink eye spread to the other eye and went from mild to raging infection my eyes are already slightly startling my irises are yellowish green almost like a cat so combined with bright red eyeballs i look like a cat demon i walked into the office and whipped off my sunglasses and the nurse screamed and did the sign of the cross my proudest moment was once observing a surgical removal of a ovarian tumor it was a teratoma so when the surgeon cut it open it was full of motioned hair teratomas can be pretty cool i've seen scans of teeth growing in them and all my mother was an icu nurse for over 10 years so never a dull moment on her first day she was taking a break when a woman walked into the hospital with her head wrapped in a towel mom said she was speaking quietly and calmly and explained that her husband had a violent outburst and threw a hatchet into her skull lucky for her he hit her in her forehead the thickest part of your skull so she was able to wrap herself up and drive herself to the hospital woman was fine overall and police arrested husband my good friend is a physician's assistant they had someone come in who had lost an eye and developed some sort of rash around the area they inspected it and quickly realized it was herpes apparently the person had been removing their glass eye and selling out their eye socket to use it for freaking contracting herpes in the process just to be clear the eye socket is very shallow so it would basically involve someone just rubbing the end of their dong in it there is no brain freaking involved not my doctor story a friend's awkward gay couple walk in one with severely saw lower abdominal pain turns out the reason for the pain is a butternut shoved up his arse have to cut it out but can't use a scalpel too many blood vessels or something will bleed a lot have to use one of those cauterizing knives surgery smelled like lunch tl dr gay guy had butternut cooked in his butt my friend's brother who is a surgeon told me lots of wtf stories but my favorite is this one more funny than gross i while a student doing residency at anonymous major not rph or digital up hospital in perth western australia a patient was admitted through the emergency department because he and his boyfriend had been playing a kind of adult game where they each stuck a balloon on a straw up their urethras and took turns to blow into the straw which apparently gave them an omg need to pee feeling and a fit of the giggles but this time said patient had laughed so hard the straw came out leaving the partially inflated balloon behind the docks tried a few things to pop the balloon but couldn't quite get at it so they decided that a quick keyhole and camera into the bladder to puncture and remove the balloon was the only option left the keyhole went fine and the balloon was easily deflated and removed along with many other fragments of variously colored balloon material my buddies bro said there though maybe 10 or 12 balloons had popped in this patient previously leaving fragments in his bladder it wasn't the first time this boy had lost a balloon up his dong but it was the first time it had been full of air when he lost it tl drdo lost multiple balloons up his dong playing adult games until one day one twisted off while blown up surgery ensued yeah it's a story i heard from a guy it might not be true it might be partly true it might be an australian med students urban legend that doesn't make me a freaking liar it makes me a storyteller passing on a story i heard i think i made that clear at the start of my post but if not here it is again this c i know once told me this story note to self condom goes on the dong not in the dong i was working in an urgent care clinic in south atlanta ga and had a patient come in complaining of itchiness on his chest and back i examined him did a scraping and diagnosed him with tinier fungal infection as i am discussing treatment options he casually mentions that he has some itching in the groin area as well after consulting with the supervising physician it was decided that it should be examined i gave the patient a gown and asked him to change upon returning to the room i see him sitting on the exam table in only a pair of mesh underwear the disposable kind you get after childbirth stuffed with gauze i inquire about his use of this particular type of undergarment and he proceeds to tell me that he in his fifties and four friends of similar age had been circumcised seven days prior the diaper rash for lack of a better term was visible on the inside of his thighs and i informed him that we would need to examine him further removal of the underwear and gauze revealed a swollen glands and shaft with stitches on the underside barely holding together a dehist non-healing split apart incision there was pus using from the unhealed incision and a yeast infection covering his entire groin he repeatedly said he was not worried about the surgery he just wanted to stop the itching we started him on antifungals and antibiotics and tried to reach his surgeon after several hours he decided to leave and promise to see his surgeon the next day tldr i have never been so sure that a man was going to lose his dong urology resident here on my second month of intern year brand new to doctoring i saw a patient in our spinal cord injury neurogenic bladder clinic who came as an add-on one afternoon about three months before her next scheduled appointment i go in to see her thinking she was having some problems with drainage of her suprapubic catheter a tube placed through the anterior abdominal wall into the bladder to drain the bladder she starts to describe to me how she changed the dressing over the catheter earlier in the week without issue when she changed it this morning she noted a bloody drainage from around the catheter i go to examine her while she is sitting in a motorized scooter i throw on some gloves lift up her shirt and begin to peel the dressing back as soon as the tape comes off the skin a tan bull of something about the size of a doughnut hole falls to the ground between her legs i looked down and saw it wiggling a ball of maggots i pulled the dressing fully off and saw them all retract into the skin around the tube i had no idea wtf to do and she's like that's normal right i'm like yeah this happens all the time give me a moment i left the room and found my attending who is this grizzled old vet who's been doing this longer than i've been alive i describe the maggots and the maggoty ball to him and he doesn't believe me he follows me to examine the patient we excuse ourselves again and once outside the room he looks astonished and goes i don't know what to do with this i've never seen this in all my years of practice i went what a coincidence neither have i i did some quick reading on my asus came up with a plan and fixed her up every once in a while i'll look her up on our electronic medical record to see if they came back i'll have you know she's maggot free and i'm still the guy who's notable for dexterous removal of maggots not a doctor but a nurse i was the tissue viability nurse for my ward which basically means i go round checking people are not developing ulcers from being stuck in bed too long i was doing a normal round and i come to a 19 year old who had just had a lung procedure this will be quick i thought to myself younger people are generally lower risk to these things i had been looking after this guy a few days post-op we were both pretty young and got to build up a good rapport with him so i approach him and explain how i need to check his sacral area aka your butt and apologize saying it should only take a glance as i'm sure it will only take less than a minute he laughs it off with me and says actually silly egg there is something there i didn't really want anyone to see so i have not mentioned it before but for the last year it is always painful when i go to the toilet and wipe my butt after alarm bells ring at this point and i go full nurse mode and decide that something was not quite right so i put on my protective gear gloves and stuff draw his curtains and dive on in i was not prepared for what was there as i pulled his cheeks apart to inspect the skin it literally just kept going right down to muscle and bone the worst part though was it was full of infection the smell was so powerful it literally hit me in the face not only was there bacterial infection but fungal too it was like jackson pollock had gone up in there and created a masterpiece i did not dare part the wound open all the way because i could not see how deep it went i turned to the poor guy and explained he had a serious wound there and i needed to get the doctor to look at it he was amazing about it while i was fetching the doc he got his friend to take a picture on his phone so he could see it i will never forget the words he said when i came back round the curtain oh my god silly egg my boss goes on forever no wonder it hurt i at this point nearly keel over laughing awesome kid he made a full recovery d he and a doctor but one evening working in prison infirmary i had an inmate brought in with a pencil stuck up his dong bleeding copiously and apparently it wasn't the first time he'd done this well i once saw this ct scan of a psych patient who fired multiple nails from a nail gun into his head there were at least four nails going right through his brain it was pretty cool really kinda my mom worked as a nurse in surgery for many years they had one guy show up at eo with a loose towel around his waist he tried to be romantic by putting a rose in his urethra for his wife roses of thorns thorne slide nicely one way and are bobbed the other way he couldn't get it out everyone was laughing as they cut it open and took the rose out when attending a urology conference you get to hear quite a few wtf stories here's my favorite where there even was a video along with the question guess what we're looking at my guess was that what was shown was the inside of a bladder got that part right and two small corn cobs floating around inside of it lighting and overall video quality of the endoscope feed wasn't all that good two small corn cobs would have been weird enough as it is turns out we were looking at two slugs actual slugs apparently the pt walked into the hospital claiming that something did not feel right when peeing and after being confronted with the contents of his bladder claimed that he took a nap in the grass the day before and the slugs must have crawled inside by themselves without him noticing happens all the time right there was other wtf stuff but that one was my favorite because video tl dr apparently slugs like to crawl up your urethra several here interior in general surgery a young patient with cerebral palsy and mental retardation gets admitted for decreased po intake long story short we open his stomach and pull out a ridiculous amount of chewed up plastic toy balls plastic bags and an alligator plastic second year of urology admit a guy overnight who stuck something in his urethra and couldn't get it out looked like tweezers on x-ray put a scope in and found yep tweezers almost had to open his bladder to get it out few from my other residence necklace in the bladder glass thermometer in the bladder my favorite though in jail this patient melted dice to make small shapes that he then implanted into his skin under his urethra for her pleasure gets released from jail she doesn't like it we surgically remove if i feel motivated i'll post the image to him go later oh also had a young man get shot in the taint with a shotgun and his urethra and anus were trashed poor kid this was during residency had a husband bring his wife in for an ingrown nail every nurse avoiding that room due to the smell was my first clue i looked at her and pondered what to do with this foot that was wrapped in a big black garbage bag underneath said bag were layers and layers of newspapers unwrapping their homemade dressing invoked the worst odor i've ever experienced i got to the point of gagging and i have a very strong stomach and had to leave the room put a surgical mask on chew gum and breath through my mouth all the while thinking i'm tasting this stuff most likely finally got the dressing unwrapped and this great toe had wet gangrene and is auto amputating due to the layers of rubber bands the woman had wrapped on the base of her toe the couple lived in an rv driving from place to place state to state the lady thought by wrapping the toe with rubber bands she'd prevent the ingrown nail from spreading the odor started and she wrapped newspapers and finally garbage bags the husband admitted that he brought her to the clinic because he couldn't stand the smell anymore she ended up getting a transmetatarsal amputation it was interesting for me since i got to perform it and it was my first one hearing an elderly lady fall in the next room and running in to get her it's dark and i can see she's on the ground and has lost one of her shoes but she's not yelling i ask if she's okay and she says yes i'm sleeping can't you see so i go pick up the shoe so it doesn't get in the way when i pick her up once it's in my hand i suddenly realized what it is it's not a shoe it's a huge hunk of flesh from her calf she's not in pain weird the dementia patients are like that sometimes so i put a pillow under her head a blanket on her again dementia she wanted to rest and call nine one one she was fine ended up growing thirty percent of her calf back in four months the feeling of a bloody warm chunk of calf in my hand will linger on though r.i.p little missy if you are new to the channel
