“Patient arrived by helicopter, walking, talking, and smiling with an arrow through his chest. The back end or feather was sticking out his front, and the front (pointed) end was sticking out his back”
Photo-Illustration: Photos: Getty Images Earlier this month, news broke that a doctor found a 28-year-old contact lens lodged in a female patient’s eyelid. According to reports, the lens was implanted during a badminton accident and had since caused the patient’s eyelid to droop. Surprisingly, that seems to have been the only side effect — the patient experienced no pain, swelling, or infection.
Typically, when I try to remove rectal foreign bodies, I put the patient under a lot of sedation using propofol, which is a profound muscle relaxant, which is what you need to really get your hand up inside the rectum. So I get my hand up in there, and I can feel the candle. The problem is, being inside your body, where it’s 98.6 degrees, the candle becomes very malleable and soft.
“Patient arrived by helicopter, walking, talking, and smiling with an arrow through his chest. The back end or feather was sticking out his front, and the front end was sticking out his back. Allegedly an accident, the source was a friend’s crossbow while they were out hunting. The arrow went through his heart and lungs and was removed in the OR.” —Anonymous
