YouTube surgery video investigated
AP via Yahoo! ^ | 4/16/8 | OLIVER TEVES, Associated Press Writer

Posted on 04/16/2008 2:50:27 PM PDT by SmithL

MANILA, Philippines - A video posted on YouTube showing Philippine doctors laughing while removing an object from a patient may lead to charges against the surgeons and cost them their medical licenses, officials said Wednesday.

The unauthorized nearly 3-minute video of a noisy operating room shows doctors and nurses laughing, giggling and cheering.

At one point, a hand appears with a cell phone camera taking a close-up picture of the surgery.

As a doctor gingerly pulls out the 6-inch long canister from the male patient's rectum, someone shouts, "Baby out!" amid loud cheers.

The doctor then removes the canister cap and sprays the contents toward the crowd of nurses and doctors viewing the procedure.

It remains unclear who shot the video and who posted it on YouTube, but the person who posted it removed it from the Web site Wednesday.

The video has angered the unidentified patient who plans to press charges, his lawyer Guiller Ceniza said Wednesday.

The government-run Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center in the central city of Cebu, where the surgery took place, is conducting an investigation, a spokesman said Wednesday.

Dr. Emmanuel Gines said more than 10 people were involved — including staff and medical and nursing students from a nearby operating room.

He said the hospital takes videos of surgeries of peculiar cases, but only with the consent of the patient.

Dr. Jose Sabili, president of the Philippine Medical Association, told The Associated Press on Wednesday the group will conduct an investigation if a formal complaint is filed and doctors found violating medical ethics could be suspended or expelled from the association, which would result in the suspension or termination of their state health insurance accreditation.

The results of the investigation could also be used by the Professional Regulations Commission to suspend or revoke their licenses, Sabili said.

"I believe what they did was very blatant," he said.

Health Undersecretary Alexander Padilla said the Health Department will conduct a separate investigation.

The 39-year-old patient received surgery on Jan. 3, three days after a New Year's drinking spree and a "one-night stand" with a male partner, Ceniza, the lawyer, told the AP.

He said his client was too drunk to remember how the body spray canister ended up in his body.

Ceniza said the man was determined to file charges but will wait for the results of the hospital's investigation, expected later in the week.

Now let me get this straight. Smokers get taxed lots extra, seat belt laws are in place to control insurance rates for others, and my health insurance supports a guy who has a can of Reddi-Wip put up his derrière?!

(Yes, I know its in the Phillipines, but my sympathies are with the doctors. It was probable all he could do to not bust a gut while wielding a scalpel, he waited until his hands were out of the patient. Laughter is also one way to deter disgust.)

It's a good thing most of the world has never seen the inside of an operating room wide-awake. There is nothing unusual in the behavior of the staff. There are times when humor is the only reason you can get through the long hours. Unless the film is being made for study purposes, most surgeons have a pretty healthy sense of humor. Years ago was Assistant in Charge of Ancillary Services at a major teaching institution. O.R. is not for the feint of heart or those with a high sense of propriety.

Can we press charges for something similar and fire certain folks in the House and Senate on these grounds? The horseplay they’ve been getting away with for years on the job needs to end -and it’s FAR more damaging.

In my 20s, I had to have my gall bladder out due to infection. Talking to one of the nurses, she said I’d be a pleasure to operate on.
“What do you mean?”
“Most of our patients are 20 years older, and 100 pounds heavier. You’re WAY easier to operate on than most of our patients.”

And the funniest line she ever said - “The doctor’s actually lectured unconcious patients about their need to lose weight. One woman he actually shouted `How can you be so fat!’”

Yeah, I’m sure that a lot of doctors would sue to keep from being videotaped.

Their error wasn’t their conduct, it was the fact that they got recorded being anything other than gods in white medical robes.

What a cheap shot at the Philippine medical profession. Too bad they didn’t show Fruitwell P. Asshat’s face, the jerk. Maybe they could have interviewed him, too. Next time you’re in the hospital look around - that nation has supplied us with high-quality nurses and doctors for well over 100 years now.

Most people would be horrified at some of the black humor behind the scenes in hospitals and it is tacitly understood that it is not repeated outside the facility. Kind of like “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.”

That was really, really unprofessional behavior and I have no sympathy for any doctors or nurses who take career hits as a result of this.

That said...the best way to avoid being embarassed over video of someone removing a foreign object from your anus is to avoid using your anus for recreation. Hope he figures that out at some point.

http://www.homosexinfo.org/Sexuality/RectalObjects

Some homosexuals insert foreign bodies into their rectum for pleasure. Occasionally, while moving an object back and forth, a homosexual or his partner may loose his grip on the object and the foreign body gets sucked into the colorectum. In emergency departments, some such objects recovered from the colorectum of homosexuals include soft-drink and other bottles, jars, light bulbs, candles, fruits like bananas and apples; vegetables like cucumbers, onions, potatoes, carrots and turnips; dildos, vibrators, tumblers, a polythene waste trap from the U-bend of a sink, salami, sponge rubber balls, a steer’s horn, baseballs, tennis balls, hard-boiled eggs, sand-filled bicycle inner tubing, an aluminum tube (used by a prisoner to store money and other valuables), broomsticks, broom handles, various types of brushes, ax handles, whip handles, soldering irons, a wood-handled carborundum sharpening stone, glass tubes, frozen pig’s tail, and kitchen items such as spatula, ice pick, and mortar pestle.(1-12) The typical patient that presents in the emergency department with colorectal foreign objects is a male homosexual;(4) the other patients are women or patients who have been rectally assaulted with a foreign body.

Morgenstern mentioned the recovery of a plastic fist and forearm from the colon of a homosexual.(13) Miller mentioned a homosexual patient with a 150-watt light bulb in his colorectum.(14) Homosexuals presenting with light bulbs in their colon challenge even experienced emergency personnel in San Francisco because breakage of the glass could easily perforate the colon or rectum. In one case, physicians had to fix a light bulb socket onto the end of a stick, insert the stick into the rectum, screw the socket onto the bulb, and finally pull out the bulb.(10) Needless to add, removing stuck rectal objects often requires ingenuity. For instance, in one case, physicians managed to remove a stuck water tumbler by putting rope and molten plaster into the tumbler and using the rope to pull out the tumbler after the plaster had hardened.(10)

Schaupp described the case of a homosexual physician who presented with a stuck rectal object.(15) He pleaded with the surgical resident to not admit him in the hospital but extract the object in the emergency department instead. Normally, such cases are observed for at least 24 hours to make sure that the rectal object did not perforate the rectum. The doctor went home with an unrecognized perforation and developed peritonitis (inflammation of the peritoneum). He called the chief of surgery and blamed it all on the resident. Most likely, the physician had perforated his bowel while he was anally masturbating.(15)

Buzzard and Waxman reported the removal of a plastic vibrator from the rectum of a 65-year-old man who had had it in his rectum for 6 months and even traveled around the world with it.(16)

In emergency departments, homosexuals commonly offer bizarre explanations for stuck rectal objects. They explain such objects in terms of accidental ingestion, deliberate insertion to disimpact feces, or accidents where they slipped and fell on the object lodged in their rectum.(4) Some patients don’t admit to prior homosexual activity and for obvious reasons. Graves et al. described a patient with a large peanut butter glass jar lodged in his rectum.(17) The patient claimed that he was washing his dog in the shower when he slipped and fell on a glass jar, which then entered his rectum. They also described another patient who came to the emergency department complaining of rectal and lower abdominal pain and claiming that he had been abducted and sexually assaulted by several men.(17) This patient had a large vibrator lodged in his rectum. A police investigation determined that no assault had taken place, and that the vibrator had most likely been self-administered.(17) Lo et al. described a 50-year-old man who was seen at an emergency department for abdominal pain.(18) A physical examination revealed peritonitis and an X-ray revealed a shadow of an eel in the abdomen. After further questioning, the patient reported that he had inserted a live eel into his rectum to relieve constipation. The 50 cm-long eel had perforated his rectum and was quickly removed.(18)

The objects homosexuals insert into their rectum are only limited by the capacity of their rectum, not their imagination.(2) For instance, Cooper described a 33-year-old homosexual patient with a 14 inch-long sand-filled bicycle tube in his rectum.(19) He and his partners regularly inserted the sand-filled tubes into each other’s rectum, till one day they lost a tube beyond recovery into the patient’s rectum. Stephens and Taff described a homosexual who had his partner give him an enema with a concrete mix, followed by the insertion of a ping-pong ball to retain the mix.(20) The concrete hardened and the homosexual ended up in an emergency department. The patient refused a psychiatric consultation recommended by the physician. Eckert and Katchis mentioned the practice of inserting gerbils into the rectum for pleasurable scratching sensations.(21)

Death resulting from rectal insertion of foreign objects is rare, but occasionally, one comes across such a case. Byard et al. described a 56-year-old man that attempted sexual stimulation via the insertion of a shoehorn in his rectum. He tore his rectum, did not seek medical help, and bled to death.(22)

It is difficult to estimate the incidence of foreign body insertion among homosexuals because they appear in emergency departments only when they require professional help in retrieving stuck rectal objects. Reuben noted that the only people who insert their hands/fingers into the rectum more than homosexuals are doctors, often attempting to retrieve foreign bodies that homosexuals accidentally lost into their rectum while anally masturbating.

I worked for a year as a benefits administrator for a State employees medical plan. One of the claims was for “foreign object removal and reconstruction of the anal tract”. We needed the op report to process the claim and eventualy had it released. The gentleman had a light bulb inserted into his rectum and the muscle crushed the bulb.

Nearly 30 years later, the thought still disturbs me.

Removed a what? While I am really curious, I'm not going to ask how they got there.

And men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is sick and perverted, therefore receiving in themselves just payment for their degenerate behavior. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not really stupid, unnatural and perverted.

Frankly, most of these insertion accomplishments are nearly beyond belief to normal folks. I imagine he felt pretty lousy, but managed to pass it around the vibrator, at least enough to keep going.

The amazing thing is the ingenuity and perseverance displayed by these people in their drive to shove stuff where the sun don’t shine.

Exactly. What happens in the O.R. STAYS in the O.R.

No one who isn't a surgical professional would ever survive and would be scandalized at the perceived lack of sensitivity. It takes desensitization, however, to plunge a “knife” into someone's chest and wade elbow deep to take the means necessary to effect a healthy body.

The only mistake here is that the patient wasn't in on the “joke”.
