Male patient comes to the ER complaining that he hasn’t been able to make much urine. Patient also complains that he is having severe abdominal and pelvic pressure. Upon assessing the patient he looks to be very distended. The patient begins to tell a nurse and myself how it got so bad last night that he went to the garage and retrieved an extension cord. Not elaborating we asked what he did with that extension cord to which he replied… ” I took the wire out of the middle and pushed the cord up my penis to get something to come out.” In disbelief I asked did it work? He said nothing and just stared at me . Of course it didn’t work he wouldn’t be here if it did.
