Achieving success as a medical professional requires more than being a hardworking, compassionate, and knowledgeable individual eager to help those in need. It also helps to have a high tolerance for anything that can make the average person feel nauseous. 

Check out these stories to see what I mean. These are anecdotes from doctors, dental hygienists, and EMTs who have discovered some of the most bizarre items lodged inside a human body. We’re talking about parasites, plastic toys, eating utensils, and entire wine bottles. 

If that has drawn up enough curiosity, go ahead and scroll through. Hopefully, you’re not having a meal while doing so.

I had a patient who ate a light bulb, she passed it with a little help. She swallowed so much stuff that all the surgeons within a 200 mile radius refused to have anything to do with her.

    Person in orange uniform using a power tool on wooden planks. Not a doctor, but a former Navy Corpsman. I had a patient come in a few weeks after shooting himself in the femur with a nail from a nail gun. He was on the roof and started to lose his balance, and apparently instinctively placed the nail gun on his leg to keep himself upright. He fell off the roof, pulled out the nail with a pair of vice grips, but couldn’t get all of it. He thought it wasn’t a big deal until one day he was casually walking and his femur snapped in two.

    I handled an injury like this, guy nail gunned himself in the femur. They have a safety where you have to touch the tip to something before it will fire, so the thigh is the usual victim. I had him on the phone, asked if medical provider removed the nail. "Nah my boss pulled it out with pliers. "

    Man in distress sitting on bed, holding head, possibly in pain, illustrating disturbing patient experiences. A few years ago, when I first started working in the ER, a patient came in with severe rectal pain and bleeding. Upon inspection he had large and visible hemorrhoids, so the reasonable assumption was that he had an internal one that burst and was the source of the pain and discomfort right? Well turns out the patient had been experimenting with a gaping device and was placing wine glasses inside his a**l cavity... the device was cheap and plastic, which when he was startled by his mother walking into the room caused him to flinch and flex his sphincter closed and broke the device and the wine glass inside. They managed to get the device out of him but had to come into the er to have the shards removed.

    It actually helps a lot to have a flexible anús when you have hemorrhoids :p since any pain and discomfort comes from the polyps being pinched and squeezed. Cannot recommend anything breakable for the purpose though 😆

    A doctor in scrubs and mask sitting pensively on a bench in a clinical setting. Anesthesiologist here. Few years ago, we admitted a young guy (think he was 15) for a surgery consisting in retrieving a huge black d***o in his descending colon. The thing is (are):
    - battery was still on and the mamba was vibrating when I had to start my induction and told the guy "think about something pleasant".
    - to get something up there (at least 25 cm from the a**s), he admitted afterall he used another d***o to push it that far.

    Fortunately, the surgeon managed to get the beast out of him without cutting through his abdomen; he inserted his whole arm and managed to grip it from its base (the area is naturally well lubricated).

    I won't say here what the surgeon said afterall. He was kinda mad to be out of his bed at 2 am to fill his arm up some teenager's b******e.

As an intern I saw a patient with a horrible open abdominal wound that wouldn’t heal, and horrible hygiene with no self-care. He came into the ED due to abdominal pain and we found about 12 maggots buried into and crawling in his large open wound.

    Tablet displaying brain scans on a bed next to a patient's legs, illustrating doctors' disturbing discoveries. Had a 12 year old patient come in the ICU with a bullet wound on the frontal part of the head. Pink Brain material was oozing out of the bullet hole and out of the nose.

    For reference I was doing medical practice in a relatively small hospital in Guatemala. A pretty dangerous city because of d**g trafficking and all.

    From the little story bits we could gather, the kid was just playing alongside a nearby river when he suddenly collapsed on the rocks nearby. His grandfather was nearby and was the one who brought him into the hospital. The story suggests that a stray bullet was the one that hit him. The grandfather's story suggests that he heard shooting on the other side of the river, but didn't pay much attention to it because it's common for people to carry guns around and sometimes just randomly shoot in the air. Unfortunately enough for the child, the bullet hit him straight in the head.

    We had imaging done on the child and once we got to the head, we saw that his brain was practically turned into mush with the bullet still inside.

    We tried everything we could, but he ended up passing away a few hours after.

    Bullet on a plain background, an example of disturbing discoveries by doctors in patients. Late to the thread so this will probably get buried:

    Disclaimer, I am a doctor but this happened years ago in medical school with one of the cadavers we study anatomy on, not a live patient but I still thought it was pretty crazy and definitely memorable!

    In the preclinical years of medical school, most medical schools have students enroll in anatomy lab where we dissect cadavers as part of the course. One of the anatomy labs had a cadaver who had passed away from complications from kidney failure (according to the identification tab).

    While that anatomy team was dissecting some of the leg and buttock muscles, they found a small caliber bullet in the gluteus medius. No idea how it got there and totally unrelated to the cause of death.

    I like to imagine the guy signing paperwork to donate his body to science, thinking that the med students dissecting his butt would get a funny surprise lol.

    For anyone wishing to donate their body, it's important to make sure that those around you know what you want and who to call to make it happen. Your body will have to be retrieved within 48-72 hours of passing or it becomes unsuitable for study. My mother wanted to donate hers. She passed on a Saturday morning. My (idiot) brother told me on Sunday what her wishes were. On Monday I started googling how to do that but it was already too late. She had dementia so her brain could've contributed to medicine's understanding of the disease. It's a shame she wasn't able to.

    A person holding a wine bottle next to empty glasses on a wooden counter indoors. My mom was an ER nurse and someone had shoved an entire wine bottle up their a*s. The bottle created a giant suction, and it had started to pull their intestines out when they attempted to remove it. They had to drill a hole in the base of the bottle to k**l the suction, and then remove the bottle from their a*****e.

    It was a pinot noir at least.

    Bee resting on a person's open palm outdoors. When I was cycling I had a freak event where a bee flew into my mouth and stung my uvula. Rode 8 miles back home with what felt like an awful sore throat. Checked in the mirror and stinger was still lodged in. Went to urgent care after where a doctor had to numb and remove it with tweezers. After successfully removing it he said he has never heard of it happening before and we had a laugh about it. Overall 4/10, unenjoyable forsure but not the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. Was riding with 2 people who were very allergic to bees so would’ve been likely deadly for them. If you want proof check my post history lol.

    A hand holding a wine glass in a vineyard setting, with lush green vines in the background. My brother had a guy come into his ER several years ago, and found an infection in his urethra. Upon further examination, this guy intentionally stuck a catheter in to bypass the urinary tract, and the other end was hooked up to a bag of wine.

    Yes, he made it so he pees out wine as a party trick and people drink it. WTAF.

Cuz if outside.. this suggests the wine is actually passing though the tube no? Or is it just like, the tube is in there, but the wine never leaves the bag? Cuz that doesnt look like they're being relived of it, rather the other way around no? Like some twisted version of an I.V.

    Slug on a gravel surface, resembling disturbing and disgusting finds in medical stories. Well, when i was posted in the forensics department during my medical school, I once got the opportunity to see a slug lodged in the trachea of a dead man. Yep, that’s how he had died. He choked on a slug while trying to eat it whole (and raw). Oh and he also had two chilies in his pocket which the residents assumed he was gonna eat while eating the slug to make it more spicy.

    Film canisters, resembling items doctors might disturbingly find in patients, lined up on a light surface. Woman came into the ER complaining of severe abdominal pain. On ultrasound they found 2 rolls of camera film in her v****a. She looked shocked and said that she put them up there 4 months prior and "must have forgot to take them back out.".

    Dental X-ray in a clinic; a gloved hand pointing at teeth, illustrating disturbing discoveries by doctors. As a dentist, we are used to seeing unerupted teeth still stuck in the bone which we call impacted teeth. The 3rd molars are notorious for this. And after them, the canine teeth also get impacted. We confirm this when we see the radiographs of the patient. I was seeing this radiograph of a colleagues patient who had a missing canine which we were expecting on find impacted. We were not able to find it and thought it was missing. On closer inspection, we saw it impacted just below the eye lying horizontally.

    I had something similar to this. Both of my upper canine teeth were impacted sideways under my nose. They were removed when I was 14 years old, along with two premolar teeth on the bottom to balance things out. I fought getting my wisdom teeth removed for years because I had so many teeth removed.

    Doctor reviewing notes beside a patient in a hospital, illustrating medical experiences. Just a medical student but during one of my rotations in the ICU we had this patient who had not one but two strokes within a 24 hour time period. When he first came to the ED it was clear he having a stroke but his symptoms were relatively mild (some numbness in his fingers, mild difficulty speaking). He didn't think anything was wrong so he left against medical advice before we could do any serious work up. He came back later in the day with much more severe symptoms and so he immediately got spirited up to the ICU which is where I saw him.

    On his MRI it showed signs of "watershed strokes" which are a special kind of brain injury which indicate the brain as a whole is not getting enough blood. We typically see this type of stroke in severe trauma patients who have lost large amounts of blood, but this guy didn't any have signs of blood loss at all!

    We did some more advanced imaging and what we saw was that he was missing BOTH his carotid arteries, and one of his basilar arteries (normal people have two of these that run up from the spinal cord into the brain). So basically he only had one tiny blood vessel perfusing his entire brain. The end result of this was that whenever his blood pressure dropped the slightest amount his brain would get starved for oxygen and he would have a stroke.



    The real kicker? Even after being admitted to the ICU and being on multiple pressors to keep this blood pressure up to prevent him from stroking out, he still wanted to leave against medical advice.

Turns out there was a mannequin hand lodged in this man's prostate (maybe? I'm not a physician and he told me this story years ago, so I can't exactly remember). Young fella was fisting himself with a mannequin hand and lost it up his b*m.

While working in the ER, I had a patient come in with a screwdriver for eyeglasses stuck in his urethra. He claims to have picked up a girl at a bar, brought her back to his place, and he must have blacked out from the alcohol during the “activities.” Apparently she didn’t like that, so she grabbed the screwdriver off his nightstand, shoved it in there, and left. He woke up the next morning and it had gotten sucked all the way in to his perineum. You couldn’t even see it anymore, but you could feel its outline during the physical exam.

    Dentist examining patient in clinic, highlighting disturbing findings doctors encounter. Ohh, my dental hygienist told me a couple one made her laugh while telling. So we’re limited to the mouth. One was a small grown up vegetable of sort, so probably a seed ended around the teeth and grown. The other made her curious about an abscess she was working over, since the patient was described as clean and no other big problems, so cleaning and cleaning, the cause came out. A hair. By the shape, and the reaction from the patient, which attributed it to the natural toothbrush, it was evidently a pubic hair.

    Saddest thing is, there ARE people who DO fall on things and end up seeing a colorectal surgeon....

    "...a shawarma fell in my mouth."

    A person with hands on face, conveying distress related to disturbing medical discoveries. It wasn’t a doctor, but I got my flared b******g stuck in my a*****e and was so embarrassed I called my best friend over to help me get it out.

    She’s big into a**l stuff with her hubby so I knew if anyone was able to help me it would be her.

    My husband got home a few hours later and I said “while you were at work bestie had to come pull my b******g out of my a*****e.”

    He was very grateful because at the time his BIL was the ER doctor here lol.

    Sounds like a pain in the butt. The b-plug seems solid, though.

    American spelling vs UK spelling. Americans don't include an "r."
