I imagine the nurses had fun with that: “Good morning Mr._____, and how is our little bung hole doing this today?”

Hmmm, maybe the guy was one of those types who enjoy that kind of attention—if ya get my meanin.

[radiohead]

I don’t get it. What happened?

[sc2_ct]

Contrary to their statement about nothing being flammable in the human rectum, that is wrong — methane is highly flammable and has resulted in severe burns to people some very strange people.

The South Vietnamese soldier was part of a unit that was targeted by North Vietnamese soldiers in a mortar attack. Such rounds usually wound or kill by shrapnel and direct hits on an individual are exceedingly rare. This unique case came about because the high angle trajectory round came down out of the sky striking the soldier but failing to explode. It slid off his helmet into his shoulder and down along his ribcage.

I was a ER nurse for a time. You just WOULD NOT BELIEVE what some fools will insert into their rectums.

In some cases, it probably did damn near kill them, too. The worst I heard about was a softball. Seems to me that you would have to "work up" to something like that!

[Slings and Arrows]

There's a procedure for that.

I almost got an entire ironing board stuck up there once.

(It’s not what you think. No, really.)

So CBS is willing to violate medical privacy laws and "leak" stolen x-rays that were copied without consent all for a laugh and webhits.

Why not have Katie Colonic's video on demand?

[a fool in paradise]

But if it's just a cowboy boot, no problem. Reportedly it was only in up to the heel.

That must have been some kick!

[a real Sheila]

lol!

[Slings and Arrows]

I’m not thinking about it.

[a fool in paradise]

Reminds me of this image, albeit in a new context...

[Slings and Arrows]

As long as the data is anonymized, there is no privacy violation.

Dude .................

Check the Keywords.

[Mr. Silverback]

There was a vicar in the UK who showed up with a potato in his rectum and told the ER staff he had been hanging curtains in the nude, slipped off the ladder and landed on a potato on the counter.

[Mr. Silverback]

OK...al you have to do to prove CBS News violted medical privacy and get them in big trouble in court is tell us the names of these patients.

Go ahead and identify them. We’ll wait.

[Mr. Silverback]

al = all

[humblegunner]

Odd.
I’ve experienced keyword attacks before, but usually on threads I’ve actually participated in.

Some of the keywords are perfectly reasonable though.

[Eaker]

I am pretty sure I know who put it there.

I thought it was appropriate!
