Ouch!

This kind of tale is usually reserved for those in A&E departments only, so it was all the more interesting for us to be involved...

The patient arrived in A&E this morning following a very silly mistake. A couple of days ago whilst masturbating, this patient decided to enhance the experience by placing a complimentary bottle of shampoo into his anus. Yep, you've guessed it - it got stuck. Thinking it may be dislodged by a few bowel movements, he tried to forget about it. But today he obviously realised it wasn't going to shift, so faced the embarrassment and made his way to the hospital.

Upon removal of the said item, the patient was referred up to us for a flexible sigmoidoscopy due to a pr bleed. Needless to say, he decided against sedation and made his way out of the hospital as quickly as possible!
