The "Jackrabbit" (double articulation with a rotating stimulator no less)

    It's been a while since I've seen your lateral decubitus pelvis xray, but that one looks strangely familiar.

  4. happy to lynn...

    this 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.

  5. Good Lord, what a device.

    But 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."

  7. "this is a lost 'marital aid', it's lost up the patient's bottom."

  8. Now just how, exactly, did you ascertain this was a "Jackrabbit" model?

  10. 911,

    What the hell kind of "Throckmorton Sign" is that?

  11. 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.

    etotheipi, 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.

  12. 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?

  13. As a girl, I can say that does not appear to be a jackrabbit unless the
    "ears" are facing the non-pictured hip.

  14. OMG! At least it wasn't a hamster.

  15. That 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?!

  16. Doesn't anyone just cuddle anymore?

  17. As long as they said, "It was worth it!"

  18. It's always amazed me what people will put and where.

    A 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.
