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


Probably two, but perhaps three, if no complications, although we'll need to get some radiographs and wait for the pathology report. And maybe run some additional tests. And maybe try a change of diet and some exercise therapy first. And the billable ICD-10 Code will be (for the first visit):

2020 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T18.5XXA

He lost a bet?

Or maybe Ryanp225 had hoarded all the toilet paper and the coke bottle was the only option.

What a poor way to 'plug' a Coke product.

That would be some trick!

There was also another guy that came into the ER with a vibrator way up out of reach in his rectum - and it was still running.

So I shouldn't be resupplying what I've been giving away to my employees then since what I have in stock is for 10 families?? Stop being such a dick and mind your own fucking business.

Very carefully in the OR......been there, done that!!


Cut out or some form of expansion device used?



One does a LEFT sided appendectomy incision and then grasp the descending colon and "milk" the light bulb very carefully down to the rectum, and out the anus!!! you put plenty of lube up the rectum prior to this procedure to aid in it's downward movement.
