ReplyDelete911
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I've seen your lateral decubitus pelvis xray, but that one looks strangely familiar.
i slipped. it was just like the 'fusilli jerry' episode on seinfeld. i swear.
ReplyDelete(ahem) In English please, for us medblog addicts.
ReplyDeletehappy to lynn...
ReplyDeletethis is a lost 'marital aid', it's lost up the patient's bottom. it has a whirly thing on the tip and two 'articulations' or joints, which probably add to it's capabilities in terms of motion. it is a battery powered device and had to be removed in the oprating room. take home message, they should come with a leash.
It's Appalachia E.R.!
ReplyDeleteGood Lord, what a device.
ReplyDeleteBut did the patient state whether or not it felt...uh....good? (Just curious....)
I remember once in a rural ER when a mental hospital patient was brought in because he had deliberately swallowed a quarter. I'll never forget the radiologist saying: "Yeah, I found the quarter---and also a couple of nickels the patient forgot about."
Good Sunday morning the 29th to you 9-1-1 Doc !
ReplyDeleteJust came by to say hello and see what was new with you !
Today is "thank-you's" on my blog, and you have an honorable mention !
*cyber hugs and smiles*
Loving Annie
p.s. Don't they warn people that their toys should have a base so that that sort of thing doesn't happen ???
"this is a lost 'marital aid', it's lost up the patient's bottom."
ReplyDeleteOh, hahahahahahaaaa...good Lord, you just can't make up that kind of stuff. I sense a new chapter in my book coming on.
Now just how, exactly, did you ascertain this was a "Jackrabbit" model?
ReplyDeleteGruntDoc
Did the guy just want the batteries changed?
ReplyDeletesorry, old joke... and when can I have it back?
911,
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell kind of "Throckmorton Sign" is that?
SG
i don't know it was a 'jackrabbit' but one of the techs called it that and i liked it so i used it. it has nothing to do with me being the patient pictured in the xray.
ReplyDeleteetotheipi, just removed, not recharged, you can have it back now if you want it.
anon. no throckmorton, the xray is a lateral and one may not determine the throckmorton from a a lateral pelvis film.
Too bad about the Throckmorton. I love the "MS Paint" style captions/descriptions on the x-ray. Classic! That font really brings out the tone of WTF?
ReplyDeleteAs a girl, I can say that does not appear to be a jackrabbit unless the
ReplyDelete"ears" are facing the non-pictured hip.
[Runs away]
OMG! At least it wasn't a hamster.
ReplyDeleteThat is a farging huge marital aid to "lose" up the bum. Does one present to the ER upright or arse in the air, wheeled in on a gurney?!
ReplyDeletewalking, but embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't anyone just cuddle anymore?
ReplyDeletescalpel,
ReplyDeletein a word, no.
As long as they said, "It was worth it!"
ReplyDeleteIt's always amazed me what people will put and where.
ReplyDeleteA while back I did a report on a patient with, honest to God, a Coca-cola bottle rammed up there. One of those 590 mL ones. And for those curious - it went lid first.
What happened to good old fashioned sex? Jeesh.
