When the triage reports includes the words; brought in by police, naked, and duct tape, you know it's going to be an interesting night...

"Gerbil Rocket" - ER Urban Legend from 1998

"In retrospect, lighting the match was my big mistake. But I was only trying to save the gerbil," Eric Tomaszewski told the bemused doctors in the Severe Burns Unit of Salt Lake City Hospital. Tomaszewski and his homosexual partner, Andrew "Kiki" Farnum, had been admitted for emergency treatment after a felching session had gone seriously wrong.
"I pushed a cardboard toilet paper tube up his rectum and slipped Ragout, our gerbil, in," he explained. "As usual, Kiki shouted out 'Armageddon,' my cue that he'd had reached nirvana, so to speak. I tried to retrieve Raggot but he simply would not come out, so I peered into the tube and struck a match, thinking the light might attract him."

At a hushed press conference, a hospital spokesman desribed what happened next.

"The match ignited a pocket of intestinal methane gas in Kiki's colon. Flames shot out the tube, ignited Mr. Tomaszewski's hair and severely burning his face. It also set fire to the gerbil's fur and whiskers, causing it to scurry further up Kiki's colon, which in turn ignited a larger pocket of gas further up the intestine, propelling the rodent out of the cardboard tube like a cannonball."

Tomaszewski suffered second degree burns and a broken nose from the impact of the gerbil, while Farnum suffered first and second degree burns to his anus and lower intestinal tract.

Sadly, Ragout the gerbil did not survive the incident.

Jimbo Jones, that like to kill me. I'm crying over here....OMG.

I reminded me of a story an old girlfriend's mother, which was an ER nurse at a busy, ER/trauma hospital.

Turkey baster. Was so far in the patient had to go to the OR.

Another was a resident who was doing a rectal exam on a patient who then had explosive diarrhea. Left a resident shaped silhouette on the wall.

Years ago we had a guy come into our ER with an incandescent light bulb stuck in his rectum. I have no idea how they removed it.

How many surgeons does it take to change a lightbulb...?
