We were transferring a pt between hospitals. He starts to tell me that while searching the internet he found a site that said you could pleasure yourself by sticking a Bic pen up your penis. Well, the pen got stuck “up there” so he takes a paperclip and bends it into a hook to fish it out. After that didn’t work, he decided to call 911. When we arrived to pick him up, we found out he was unable to sit down so we had to drive with him standing up holding onto the IV holders attached to our ceiling.
Along the way he states, “I’m staying off the internet for awhile.”

Really? No ambulance service is going to transport a patient standing up!
Wonder about the standing up part, myself, but have seen one case of this where teenage boy inserted the innards of the Bic pen into his urethra where, of course, it became stuck. Boy was brought in to ED by mortified parents. He was completely obstructed and had to be taken to cysto lab for removal of the pen’s tip and tubing. I bet he’ll never do that again! I felt bad for his failed experiment, so I didn’t poke any fun at him. He was only my patient overnight. He went home the next morning.
