Sent to a nurse to ask if that seems real. Apparently, it checks out.
GENTLEMEN, PLEASE for your own sake, please be safe and use something built for that purpose or at least something with a flare that you can't lose up there.
i hope they listen instead of having their head up their asses
In fairness you were quite muffled
While funny, this is not true.
"Chest radiography remains the most commonly performed radiological exam in the world with industrialized countries reporting an average 238 erect-view chest X-ray images acquired per 1000 of population annually".
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1361841521001717
Depending on the country, there's a chance of dental x-rays being even more frequent, but this varies greatly.
Edit: Sorry I didn't directly address the "1/3 of exams". Even adding abdominal, hip, and pelvic x-rays, it's still short of 10% of total. Source.
I would assume the radiographer working in the ER sees a lot more foreign-body-up-the-butt cases than the one working in a cardiologists office.
Also I've never had a specialist take my dental X-rays, it's always the hygienist or dentist
The ER chest x-rays are usually for breathing problems, not so much the heart.
Trouble breathing, cough and fever are your ER bread and butter.
Limbs and joints are #2 (accidents).
I figured the “1/3” number to be hyperbole. The message isn’t that they took hard data and literally mean “1 in 3,” but rather that, “Male patients with items lost up their rectum is much more common than expected.”
I have to assume that if you work in a hospital you're not doing an awful lot of dental x-rays. Dentists do those.
Sounds like there should be a high demand for safe sex toys for men's asses based on those stats. ..... How to normalize ass toys to a homophobic population is all that stands in the way of big ass profits.
Sex toy companies just have a hard time to achieve full market penetration with the cishet male demographic. I bet there is a big gaping hole in the market data concerning male sex toy use since men probably lie about that. The sex toy companies just need to find a way to stimulate more interest in toys and stop these men from dicking around with household items. They should just go balls to the wall with their marketing campaigns. But also society needs to stop giving men who like it up where the sun don’t shine the shaft.
“Dude wipes” is already feeling out the market
A lot of men have such fragile egos that things like this exist. Most men won't sit to pee either. Most likely because they've never actually cleaned the bathroom.
prostrate stimulators
Back scratchers for the itches inside!
FLARED BASE!
IF IT DOESN'T HAVE A FLARED BASE YOU CAN'T PULL IT BACK OUT!
If the base ain't flared it's getting stuck in there.
What goes up might not come down,
And searching inside can make you frown.
So if it’s not flared, give it a pass -
You don’t want docs digging in your... 🍑
From veggies to gadgets, folks get bold,
But suction’s a force that's tough to hold.
So spare yourself the ER toll -
Get toys that stay out of your... 👌
Ass
Butthole
Bro the spoiler tags?
And make sure the flare is large enough that it actually does the job, as a flare doesn't help much if it pops inside. Strings help too, like for beads.
That only works if the flared base is outside the body.
FLARED. BASE. It's not a joke.
I have a urologist friend who says a huge portion of his job is taking things out of people’s dickholes.
Nooo I really did not want to know that
I... a third‽ I think I've had maybe 4 things foreign objects in there my entire life; twice were medical exams, and the other two confirmed that that activity is not my bag. But, 30%? Wow.
I never realized I was so sheltered.
Are you a radiologist or are you just someone who doesn't stick things up their ass?
I can see how my comment would be ambiguous.
The latter.
why is an Xray needed.
I'm assuming the patient knows what's in there already
So that the doctors can point and laugh.
A photograph for memorys sake!
For a real answer, generally cutting blindly into a patient with no imaging is ground for a malpractice suit.
Edit: I worked in IT support radiologists for.... too long, so my thoughts broadened past just an unfortunate insertion.
Cutting isn't how most of these come out, they can usually be pulled out after some uncomfortable stretching.
Ruling out damage/tear to the intestine is probably a better reason, since an x-ray will show "pockets" of free air where there shouldn't be any, and if they don't catch it that person is probably coming back in several hours but this time with a massive, deadly infection.
cutting???
I thought they remove it from where it came from. after all, it did fit inside. just use some forceps and lots of lube.
the funniest part is the 5000$ copay to make doctors laugh at you
Found the American!
i hate it here
The patient sure, but the doctor must know too.
And in what orientation.
You would be surprised how many people "don't know why they feel bad", and "don't know how that got in there". People will go through a lot to avoid admitting that they like things in the poop-chute
Well, there may be ladybirds in there.
Username checks out
A third? Those are amateur numbers. C'mon guys, man up and get in there!
I tried but I couldn't get it stuck. maybe my ass is a tent flap
That feels high, but I don’t know because I’ve never had a routine appointment with the radiographer, so it’s hard to compare how often that happens.
