Doctors receive a healthy salary to witness the messed-up things that happen to our bodies, but there isn’t enough money in the world to see what happens when a guy swallows “about a dozen or so Barbie heads that caused an intestinal blockage.” Same for finding out that the guy “swallows them all day long as a fetish,” and that “when he excretes them, he washes them so he can re-swallow them.”
On that incredibly disturbing note, more medical professionals have disclosed the craziest things they’ve witnessed while on the clock, and we wish we could see X-rays of the guy who drank mercury.

![jefferson987 5y ago I once had a patient come in with large calluses on the front of his ankles, which is a very unusual place to get calluses. I brought it up a few times because I thought maybe he was wearing his shoe wear improperly, but he kept waving off the question. Eventually I got him to admit that the calluses are there because he recently started taking a prescription anti-depressant medication which made it very difficult for him to achieve orgasm.

One time, I was in a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal with scopes) on this guy from South America and when they put the cameras in, there was just this little, white Lima bean-shaped object hanging out in his abdominal cavity. Wasn't attached to anything or in an organ. It was just...there. They sent it for pathology, but I never heard back on what it actually was.

Well, as he pushed his fingers through, they stopped at a wall just a centimetre or 2 within. Не was so confused to why the depth of her vagina was so small.

Went to a rural hospital for a clinical day (as opposed to my usual inner city trauma center I work in, which is a different brand of crazy) and we had to get an eyeball out of a woman's vagina.

The stench was bad enough before the homemade dressings even came off, the kind of smell that sticks to everything.

All injected with the same needle might I add. I guess the most interesting thing was seeing how quickly injecting vomit can make one septic. From injection to onset of sepsis was remarkably quick... Less than 4 hours. To add insult to injury, 1 had HIV, 2 had Нер с and the other had Нер В. We didn't bother working out the order of injection and just tested them all. Another story...
