Without looking at the article, I knew immediately the excuse would be “tripped and fell”

Amazing how many people seem to trip and fall whilst naked and get things stuck up their arse Grin

At work we used to be on a radiographers professional interests email list.

They often posted anonimised radiographs of incidents like this to point and laugh at and pick the best ones for Christmas parties for important professional development purposes.

Some images got blocked by the email censor spoilsport.

Crossed posted and somewhat answered your question @Soubriquet. Grin

beekeepershat · 04/12/2021 15:33

I wonder if anyone has ever actually just fallen and landed on an object this way? Hmm

FourTeaFallOut · 04/12/2021 15:35

It was a Tory MP, wasn't it?

No we dont keep a tally and to keep xrays to laugh at in Christmas partiies is dreadful

If it’s anonymous does it really matter?

I mean, seeing an x-ray with a unicorn up someone’s arse would be hilarious to see and of course a learning opportunity

I guess it would be an effective enema 🤷‍♂️

Soubriquet · 04/12/2021 15:50

It would certainly scare the shit out of me Grin

"Rectum? It nearly killed 'im!"

(Apologies, that was one of my dad's jokes)

KittenCatcher · 04/12/2021 15:53

Yes it does matter if you deliberately take an xray to a party to laugh at it, why would a hcp ever think that was acceptable. Do you also laugh at all the xrays of wonen who have objects up their bottoms or vaginas , would that be headline news in the local rag too. Xrays are never anonymous at the very least they have a name, date of birth and hospital number on them and how do you get them out of the radiography or records department.

PhilCornwall1 · 04/12/2021 15:56

To be honest, if you shove a bomb up your arse, you deserve to be laughed at (once it's been "made safe" of course).

Funnylittlefloozie · 04/12/2021 16:00

This STILL isn't the time or the place for my 'suicide bummer' joke, is it?

Thought not....

@Northernlurker

I work In a hospital. You wouldn't believe how many people trip and fall whilst naked. Frankly we are continually pulling stuff out of arses. This sounds like a particularly explosive episode however.
Yep. It's been a thing for years. My theory is that some of them do it solely for the humiliation/thrill of the subsequent A&E visit.
BarbaraofSeville · 04/12/2021 16:14

I remember reading about someone who 'fell onto the broom handle he was leaning on to reach up to clean the windows' when I was young and naive enough to not read anything more into that sentence and that was a very long time ago.

PowerhouseOfTheCell · 04/12/2021 16:16

My godmother works in A&E and says she can now spot a man with something stuck up his arse from a mile away.

MissyB1 · 04/12/2021 16:16

Does my bomb look big in this?
Sorry couldn’t resist Grin

Dh is an endoscopist and frequently has to pull silly things out of bottoms.

groundcontroltomontydon · 04/12/2021 16:22

I wonder at what stage did it stop seeming like a good idea

Hodl · 04/12/2021 16:24

One of our friends is a paramedic and she's regularly called to cases where men have got something stuck up their bottom. It's always due to slipping onto said object. Also a case where a woman had a wine bottle inserted and it had broke. Ouch!

picklemewalnuts · 04/12/2021 16:25

I'm more shocked by the implications for staff attempting to treat him- and other patients in proximity. I mean, how the hell are you supposed to manage that risk?

GiveMeNovocain · 04/12/2021 16:27

Can't listen to sex bomb for a while now without a very unwanted image 😂

Tripping and falling works as a rape defence too

FFS what's wrong with people (usually men)? Hasn't the NHS got enough to do?

DirtyBlonde · 04/12/2021 16:30

They might not get to Christmas parties, but they certainly get shared!!

Whole book of them here:

@KittenCatcher

No one believes the tripped a fell story anymore but its pretty grim reporting this, he was a patient and its not really to be laughed at.
We should absolutely laugh at stupid men who stick idiotic things up their arseholes.
