Doctors Blog Concerning the Weirdest Stuff They’ve Removed From Patients [Health]

That’s a fragment of a Wendy’s spork that was removed from a man’s throat last year. It’s by far the least weird thing that shows up on a new, cringe-inducing list of unusual things doctors have extracted from patients.

Sermo, a members-only website for doctors, asked their doctor users to post concerning the strangest things they’d ever pulled out of their patients. Then, they published one of the crucial weirdest on their public blog. They’re very weird, and possibly mentally not safe for work. Listed below are some noteworthy ones, in ascending order of ways much they disturbed me:

Allergist & Immunologist:

I once retrieved a plastic helicopter from a baby’s nose.

General Surgeon:

5 pens, 2 permanent markers, 3 straws, 2 toothbrushes, 4 Oreo cookie wrappers. All simultaneously from the stomach of a patient.

Urologist:

At our hospital recently the final surgeons removed from the stomach a bound and gagged barbie doll that the patient had swallowed.

Pathologist:

Large zucchini (rectum). The spiral from a spiral-bound notebook (male urethra). Pencil (male urethra). Cigarette lighter (stomach).

OH MY GOD I’m only going to consume smoothies for the following several months. [Sermo via NPR]
