*Snort, chortle*
Man, I had heard of some stupid actions, but this is a trophy winner. Although, my parent knew an RN who told of some stories along this vein about people who came to the emergency room...
No comment. (LOL)
About 3 years ago the daughter injured her shoulder and we have to take her to the emergency room. We were in a rather large room and they had already administered treatment to the daughter and we were waiting for the anthesia to wear off.
We saw a man (a rather manly looking man I might add) being brought in. He was walking a little strangely. They drew the curtain to separate the patients. When our nurse came in she was giggling. We asked her what it was all about and she explained the man just brought in had a cucumber stuck in him.
We struggled to keep our laughter down and I thought of the embarassment of the man. Wonder how long he struggled before he finally decided to head to the hospital.
