Acupuncture is not that weird. Caffeine enemas are very weird. But sticking a coffee jar and sewing needles in your rectum - that’s just plain crazy!

Lateral x-ray of the pelvis demonstrates a large instant coffee jar in the rectum. There appears to be a number of pins stuck in the rubber inside of the lid.

Corina Marinescu You wouldn't believe how many of these sorts of xrays I see in my daily work!
ReplyDeleteI do believe Vikas Shah saw a lot of these in ER also ;)
ReplyDeleteWhy??
ReplyDeleteMindey I. why? Haha, because instant coffee and enemas =))
ReplyDeleteBrrrrrrr...chills my bones. People can be so stupid sometimes.
ReplyDeleteCorina Marinescu was this your patient?
ReplyDeleteLOL..nope Nandlal Shah
ReplyDeleteI only treat the ones that like Buzz Lightyear in their rectums :)
hahahahahah You are comedian physician ;) Corina Marinescu
ReplyDeleteWhy are these people on my planet? They weren't on the guest list. I'm going have to fire the bouncer for letting them in http://images.starpulse.com/news/bloggers/747815/blog_images/men-in-black.jpg
ReplyDeleteThe next sailor that tells me this coffee taste like $#it, I'll understand what he's talking about.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's a cheaper way to make Black Ivory Coffee, aka Elephant Dung Coffee.
ReplyDeleteHe's just practicing too smuggle BitCoins across the border.
ReplyDeleteWell that may not be bad idea when one each cost $800 ;)
ReplyDeleteHold on a second Alexander Soe , I thought Elephant Dung Coffee involves spitting ...not rectum insertion?!? =)
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless, that's plan nuts. Drug mule perhaps?
ReplyDeleteA drug mule from Dunkin Donuts.
ReplyDeleteI don't actually understand how that is even possible. Maybe I don't really want to.
ReplyDeleteThis has permanently taken the glow out of my morning coffee... Imagine the hemorrhoid that would ensue...
ReplyDeleteCorina - how did you manage to get it out ? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have no polite words to properly express how messed up that last option is, so I will simply concur. >_0
ReplyDeleteSaw one with a 60W light bulb in the rectum.
ReplyDeleteLmao... Goebel Volker you do notice the penis on the xray? Yes? Is impossible for me to own a penis since I have a uterus and gave birth to a child ;)
ReplyDeleteCorina Marinescu i never ever said that this is you - i know that people from the medicine branch have those photos of stupid problems - (once also in Dr. House) - how to get it out is a question for an engineer - same way - what tool ? ... vg
ReplyDeleteI only treat the ones that like Buzz Lightyear in their rectums
ReplyDeleteI almost guffawed my protein drink onto my desk when I read that Corina Marinescu. :)
Len Smith The colonoscopies are when it gets really fun... Both the invasive part and the laxitive prep... Thank goodness they are separated by 10 years! Well in Canada anyway.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness med school and residency are just old memories ...colonoscopy is not that bad, but digital rectal examination....that's another fishy story.
ReplyDeleteLet me assure you that if you are on the receiving end of one of those procedures, neither one is much fun. :)
ReplyDeletelol - 'fishy' - not sure why you selected that adjective, and I'm probably better off not knowing.... ;) The digital part sounds like it relates to some sort of software visualization approach.
ReplyDeleteMichael Rutherford you're funny!
ReplyDeleteActually Sean Walker it relates to using digits to check men prostate ;)
ReplyDeleteMost of these people have comorbid psychiatric symptoms...this insertion of foreign bodies in the rectum is called polyembolokoilamania. So obviously they invent all kind of idiotic excuses and most of the time they even believe it and they will go back home and insert same object again and again then try to remove it by themselves, until all these insertions will lead to rectal perforation.
ReplyDeleteCorina Marinescu I see. How does this polyembolokoilamania work? How are their minds so twisted?
ReplyDeleteLen Smith Sean Walker The only sensible alternative to a colonoscopy is CT colonography. Far more comfortable, far more tolerable.
ReplyDeleteLen Smith that's a bit extreme! it's really not painful - if done properly.
ReplyDeleteCorina Marinescu it's pretty funny that I didn't understand what you meant by the use of the term digital... I imagine as a doctor there are many moments (especially the hands-on ones) that you have to confront natural squeemishness and do things like a digital examination of a rectum. I remember J. G. Ballard exploring this 'clinical intimacy' in a slightly surreal way in one of his books (perhaps it was Empire of the Sun) - he was disecting a cadaver in (first year?) med school.
ReplyDeleteLMAO...you guys are funny ;))
ReplyDeleteVikas Shah I think Len Smith want me to be his dr and do the VC ;)
ReplyDeleteVC?
