Stories from the ER

Saw this link on another site and spent sometime reading this forum. It has some of the most funny stuff I've ever read. Hilarious stories from ER doctors, EMS persons, etc.

Take a lookie:

Here's a sample post:

An unconscious 30-year-old man was brought to the ER by ambulance. His girlfriend had found him lying naked on the floor of his bathroom and called 911. In the ER, he was found to have a large lump on the top of his head and, strangely, several scratches on his scrotum. The doctors figured the lump was possibly caused by a fall or a knock to the head. However the source of the scratches remained a mystery until he woke up and provided the doctors with the following explanation. He said he had been cleaning his bathtub while naked, kneeling on the floor beside the tub. His cat, apparently transfixed by the rhythmic swaying of his scrotum, lunged forward, sinking its claws into this pendulous target. This caused the man to rocket upward, striking his head on the top frame of the shower door.

Wow these are great!! I'm all the way on page 6 and can't stop reading them. One thing that I wonder, a couple of them say don't go to the bathroom if you are having chest pains. Funny thing is i know someone who died on the crapper from a heart attack after complaining of chest pains. I've also heard this saying before. Anyone know if there really is some link with dying right after you go to the bathroom while having chest pains, or is it all just coincidence?

No medical backup here, but when I was a kid the janitor at the local school was found on the crapper dead from a heart attack. I remember someone saying that when you are having a heart attack, you get the sensation that you need to take a dump. When you are having a heart attack I think the dump is just a side effect, not a cause. The only way that I want to croak with my pants down is if I just finished "servicing" a young lovely a la Nelson Rockefeller.

There is a nerve, called the Vagus Nerve, that actually connects your anus and your heart. You can never use a rectal thermometer on a patient with heart problems. I'm assuming that is part of the problem. I'm also assuming that this is part of the reason that Shane had to leave.

When I was a medic in the Army, I had to do rotations at the Troop Medical Center. Needless to say there were alot of STD's among soldiers. About twice a week, I would get a patient who would say, "Doc, I have a sore throat, I need penicillin." My answer? Drop 'em. That was the best part of my day.

Is this for real, or are you just focking around? And if not, does that mean I should do everything in my power to hold in a giant dump if I'm having chest pains?

I was trying to think of something witty in return, but I'm just speechless....

Absolutely. I am many things, but I'm not a liar.

I have alot of stories like these morons. There was a girl who was 8 months pregnant and didn't know it. The guy who was stationed at Fort Drum, NY and got sent to Somalia. You go from -40 degrees to 110's, and he fell asleep at the beach. 4 hours later, he had the worst sunburn I had ever seen. His skin was sloughing off.
