Just, why? Most of these orifices are exits , not entrances. Some of the explanations are hilarious, as usual.

Gerbils are soooo 1990!
I do have some questions and observations though First off, most of the ear/nose ones sounded like it could be a toddler's work. I dismiss them all.
Now on to the others - penis “PIECE OF HARD WHITE PLASTIC THAT HE BROKE OFF WHILE WORKING W/ CRAFTS” This was quite enlightening to me, as I didn't realize men used their penis as a 'third hand' while doing crafts. Upon thinking this over though, I can see where it would be useful for holding an object in place so you can glue it down - a definite advantage.
“FORK, PEN, AND JELLY WRAPPER” - I need an explanation on this. I can see the pen, and the jelly wrapper, but how the hell do you get a fork in there, let alone all three items? I look forward to Bob's explanation.
Moving on the the rectum... SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STRING Am I the only one who thinks this is way too vague? What the hell is significant? A foot? A yard? And what kind of string are we talking here? This doctor is clearly either really new to the job, or has seen it all and is way too jaded.
“TOOK A SODA BOTTLE WITH FIREBALL WHISKEY VIA HIS RECTUM, STUCK BOTTLE IN RECTUM AND SQUEEZED” Totally a Fugger. John, what was it like?

Apparently just falling on things will get them jammed right on up you.
I have no explanation for the penis stuff. I can't tell you how many times I told the urologist, "Fergawdsake, cut a new damned hole!".

Sometimes a mere diagnosis code will not do.

My mom was an ER nurse and would tell you that those stories above are just an average Tuesday morning in Culpeper Regional.

Back in the day, I worked for BC/BS. One of the trainers collected the weird diagnosis codes, procedures and claims to use in our 'test' calls. He correctly pointed out that this shit happens all the time, and that we were expected to take those calls with a straight face.
I really thought he was shitting us, but one of my early calls was a woman with diabetes who fell asleep on a heating pad and burned her butt.

Umm...my back has burn scars all over it from heating pads. The anesthesiologist noticed that I had a fresh burn when he was giving me an epidural during my first knee surgery. I’ve been more careful since but the scars remain.

Oh man, I am sorry Pam. Until I got that claim, I didn't realize that could happen.
I remember that claim because the woman was a total bitch and a racist to boot. She was on home nursing care and called at least once a week to bitch about the nurses and tell us to fire them. We could always tell when the agency sent out a minority, because those were the times she'd call. I ended up getting about 85% of her calls for some reason, and every time, we'd explain that she needed to take this up with the agency, and while she was at it, ask them to send the visit documentation so we could process the claims.
The day finally arrived - the documentation came. She got her wish - we rejected 95% of the claim as not medically necessary. She was making those poor nurses walk her dog and pay her bills, and refusing to allow them to change her dressings. I wish I could have felt sorry for her, but she was a hateful old bat.

I just use the pad at too high a setting and I use it all day. Stupid.

I know I said I wasn’t going to complain anymore, but I’m so tired of this freaking headache. I’ve had it over a week now. At first I thought it was a side effect of the shingles vax as I woke up with it the day after it was administered. But now, I think it’s sinuses. That’s where the pain is. I’m damaging my kidneys more by taking Aleve, which provides some relief. Doesn’t touch the painful knees and hips, though.
Complaining done.

I am so sorry. I have had a headache for the past week and a half. I blame these fricken temperature changes.
And as I noted earlier, I'd be whining like a banshee if I was in half the physical pain you are in, so whine away.

Must be the stupid ass weather because we've both been getting the brain pain lately. Tonight's headache, however, was probably courtesy of Lite Beer by Miller.

Since I retired, my headaches have been few and far between. I ran out of Xyzal last week. After a couple days, I found some old Zyrtec, but it didn’t help. Went out on my regular ice run yesterday and got some Xyzal and took it last night. It’s a little better today so I’m hoping that was it.
