What happens in this shit situation: Needing a poo then getting in a car crash?

sigh

So on my way home from the school run this morning, I was pretty desperate to get home, my coffee had worked itself around my system and I now definitely needed a poo (not the runs, just desperate for a poo)

anyway, on my travels on a narrow, green lane road 60mph, someone can absolutely bombing towards me, car all over the road on my side.. and I got a bit scared that I was absolutely about to be wiped out.

I wasn’t, thankfully. But it did have me wondering.. what happens if you’re in a pretty bad wreck but you really needed a poo beforehand? Does the poo just have to wait until you’ve recovered. Does your body just poop it out while waiting for EMS? Do they give you a clean out at the hospital while undergoing treatment/checks? What if you’ve got a spinal injury and you can just get up and go to the toilet?

or do you just come home after recovery with the most horrendous constipation of your life?

I was developing a migraine and was driving home to takesome painkillers before it really kicked off and someone drove into the back of me.
My headache vanished instantly, although I did end up being admitted to hospital next day for possible concussion
Your body just sorts itself out IMO - unless I have dodgy tummy my poop only emerges in a familiar environment.

I wonder about stuff like this all the time

And this is why I stopped listening to my granny when she said you need fresh knickers every day in case you are in an accident.

Interested in this thread?

They would usually stick a cork in your arse until you get to the hospital.

What if I’m already sporting my pink gemstone butt plug. I suppose they would have to replace it for something more sterile.

Yes of course, they would replace it with a sterile cork, light weight and can come in different sizes to plug the largest gap.

I was once mid poo (I take a long time) at work and the fire alarm went off.
I did not appear at mustering point on time 🤣

They'll usually appoint a surrogate who can shit on your behalf until you are recovered.

This may be the funniest thing I’ve ever read on here.
Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A friend of mine years ago was climbing when he fell and broke his back. He unknowingly shit himself on impact, was rescued by helicopter and given a tonne of morphine at which point he asked if he had shat his pants. ‘Of course you did dude!’ Was the reply, and it just became a story. He is fine btw :)

This happened to my dh who unexpectedly needed a poo at work and heard an announcement over the tannoy saying “this is an unplanned evacuation” - “me too” he thought.
