A man entered the ER with severe lower abdominal pain and debilitating cramps, and a green piece of plastic protruding from his glans penis (and I swear it wasn’t me). Medical imaging showed that something was in his bladder which made peeing next-to-impossible, and since the patient’s bladder was about to burst, emergency surgery was needed. And what came out of this man’s body was absolutely baffling: a green plastic cable measuring 12 feet (3.66 meter) in length, which somehow had been inserted down there, and which had mechanically rolled up inside the patient’s bladder (not mine). The man could not explain how the cable had ended up in his glans (and bladder), except for stating that “it was an accident.” The closest he came (yes indeed) to giving some actual insight on the matter was that “he wanted to know how it felt.” And now he knew.
What was the most embarrassing medical procedure you have had?
