The Strangest Thing You've Seen In A Body (Doctor Stories r/AskReddit) 

Instablaster.

Common knowledge tells us that BB's can't penetrate the skull. When he was "shot" there was probably a bit of blood and they must have thought the BB bounced off his head.

XD

Whoops lol fell ontop of a cucumber

Thank you, Bigfoot!

Hey! I’ve seen you somewhere else...

whoopsies accidentally landed flat ass on a candle

dumbwhore69 At that point I thought, "So wait a minute...you knew he ate weird stuff...and it didn't occur to you to check to see if he had eaten any weird stuff?!" "Gee, I can't imagine why the guy who eats objects is having abdominal trouble! That sure is a mystery!"

my twin and I were snuggled so closely together in the womb that I ate that bitch! 6-week-old fetus me got hungry i guess 🤷‍♀️ my mom was also pregnant with twins in her first successful pregnancy, although she did miscarry one about four months in (called Phantom Twin Syndrome), so I'm really glad I can't have biological kids lmao. i definitely would not be able to handle two newborns at once

did you grow up to become a pro wrestler?

@@steveairport I'm thirteen and have no physical strength. The answer is no.

@Sharky Well, we both did. But he manages to be stronger than me now.

What's endometriosis?

Nalani Kerr you know google exists, my guy. But if you’re too lazy it’s a reproductive disorder in women that causes some really horrible symptoms and potentially some fertility issues. Unfortunately a lot of doctors don’t take the symptoms seriously and it takes months and sometimes years for it to be correctly diagnosed.

Sweet jesus that can be anywhere between a slight abnormality to completely awful.

@Hi I'm Roseart Same here. Doctors need to take it way more seriously and not just dismiss it as "a bad period" or "extra strong cramps".

I have it too. I'm so sorry. It's the worst.

gross anatomy teachers are crazy

Anyone who smokes after seeing the black lungs in person is either callous, addicted or has a death wish

Yes. Medical workers actually do make fun of people. Those of us who are not in the medical profession are the recipients of these stories. Brother worked on a guy who had your name tattooed on his dick... The guy died... On his dick was tattooed the words "Your Name". You should get more tattoos to make it interesting. Especially if you're old, they'll get a good laugh.

Oh that sounds so bad how are you now?

@@HS-jz4op I'm good now, but it took many years, like 5 or 6 to feel normal again. Thank you for asking. It was a huge adjustment period.

@@01SaltyWitch I am glad you're doing better

I'm in that situation right now. I'm 36, had a hysterectomy, but they didn't get it all, I'm still in pain, and I can't take HRT until I'm at least 40. FML.

@@WobblesandBean Im sorry :( i hope it can be fixed as soon as possible

I saw a documentary about a woman in (I think) India, who was so terrified of hospitals that she fled and somehow ended up never going into labor, so the baby died in-utero and she ended up carrying the calcified corpse in her womb for over forty years.

@@undeadladybug7723 I saw that documentary! She actually did go into labor but she ignored it and eventually just. stopped being in labor. it's likely her pelvis just wasn't wide enough to push the baby out, or it would've made its way out one way or another eventually. she carried the calcified corpse of her baby for 48 years with no discomfort or pain aside from the three days she spent in labor. how fuckin wild is that

@@londonm3161 That is completely insane.

Yeah, especially when the music became bouncy at the story of the 5 -year-old child. I had to mute the sound.

Yeah, a baby sexually abused and got horrible cancer. Plays upbeat music.

Lol

Almost all of the reddit stories channels do this so

if the patient is unable to give an accurate history they'll put them through a CT scan to check for any metal but most people can give an accurate history. it's very easy to tell when they can't most of the time

The video does not state @17:37 what examinations happened, so we do not know. If the gloves were in pieces (likely) and mixed with feces, an X-ray and an US could not show them without much luck (like a whole glove at an exposed point). An MRT would catch the possible small air bubbles created by the very thin material, surrounded by poop.

I wonder if he kind of vibrated across the exam table as he sat there.

Now, almost all childbearing age women are tested before any procedures are done.

OOPS that's why they do a urine hgb test on every woman of child-bearing age before any procedure, or make you sign a waiver that says "I'm getting exposure to radiation without knowing for 100% certain I'm not pregnant and therefore can't sue the hospital if I AM pregnant and my baby later develops cancer"

Definitely not the right video

i was a cashier and lemme tell ya, i did not give a crap over who bought what. Most of the time we don't even remember a persons face, even when they come in often. So if anyone is worried about cashiers judging them, don't. We genuinely don't care what y'all buy, we just want our shift to be over.

Same, it's insane.

same, I always figured it was just my anemia getting worse bc I have endometriosis that caused a VERY heavy flow throughout the 7-10 day process and while I had nosebleeds as a kid, they didn't get REALLY bad until I hit puberty and started my period, and then I was throwing clots outta my nose like Steph Curry at the three-point line. with my luck, I probably DO have endometriosis in my sinus cavities, because I haven't had a single nosebleed (except for when I was prescribed a nasal spray for allergies, and even then they weren't bad at all) since I started the pill and stopped my period completely. an interesting thought

Hmmm, that sounds expensive, round th clock, lifetime supervision? What do they do with them when their parents pass of old age?A giant adult sized TODDLER, who could throw a tantrum and get violent as retarded people are known for. Is some poor relative stuck inheriting them?

@@raellskys4083 End of the day, it's round the clock supervision or death. The only way to keep the kids (with pica) safe, is such care. That said it's not cheap but nowadays, the government/tax payers usually pays for the costs. Raising such a kid is not easy or cheap but it's certainly possible (even with little to no public support). Unfortunately, raising any kid with such serious health issues /disabilities is never going to be the easiest option but plenty of families have done so. Adam

@@raellskys4083 Also, for the record, many kids with such issues are capable of growing out of said issues with the right help. Without question the majority are not violent or dangerous in the least & often, even those with such issues can learn to not lose their cool with maturity & the right help. If they are that violent or incompetent, then they remain in care with people capable of properly caring for them. They are still people & definitely not some unpleasant piece of property that gets inherited by whomever will take them! Adam

Not all things show up on x-ray. This study showed that Legos weren't showing up; doubt latex gloves would show up. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4173203/#!po=82.5581 Do agree that pica sufferers need extreme protective measures in place.

@@adambartlett114 Well, I wouldn't want t be th family member who had t take them. No, not a peice of property which could be of monetary or sentimental value. Even a DOG, who could be PLEASANT or USEFUL for barking when strangers come around. You have a GIANT ADULT SIZED TODDLER (that's as useful as a giant TODDLER) needs t b under constant supervision so they don't start playing with their own SHIT, fingerpainting in it or something, or their REALLY good at public MASTERBATEING too!! I had t put up with seeing THAT garbage because a nearby neighbor a block away had one of 'those' living there and let it wander around outside unsupervised, so typical behavior for him was he walked up and down th street, hand in his pants,somtimes VERY obviously MASTERBATEING himself,loudly moaning of course. He kept pokeing his fingers at his asshole too and sniffing them right away after. I gotta tell you, it's a REALLY nice, pleasant thing t see walking down th street looking out your window. I called th police but they didn't do anything about it Frankly, I would flat out refuse th burden. Don't get me wrong, I feel sorry for them being that way but that would suck so bad dealing w that kind of shit every day. It would be like a punishment.

I'm watching you watch this at the doctor's office

I had to do an hour and a half MRI a couple months ago and they made me, a person with a known history of joint pain and fibromyalgia, sit in one very uncomfortable position the whole time. I almost asked to be sedated towards the end because the pain was getting so bad I was shaking uncontrollably and my ear plugs had fallen out, so I had to listen to this loud ass machine at full volume for an hour while I convulsed. I got copies of the images after and no one would tell me what the mass in my spine was, so I had to do my own research and make my own (correct) diagnosis. a month later they finally gave me the results, which noted the hemangioma in my T8 vertebra. all that just so I could do the diagnosis myself and get no other answers for my neurological decline

As a smoker... I completely agree with you. It's scary but there isn't much I can do about it now. As far as the girl with endometriosis, since it's growing the same kind of tissue in her nose I'd assume the bleeding would be at the same time?

the heart is extremely not in the middle, it is larger on one side and leans towards that larger side, putting most of it in one side of the chest cavity. one lung is slightly smaller than the other to accommodate this extremely vital and important organ

I got a fake stick on earring stuck in my ear when I was little (I'd say around 4-5 but I really have no clue) and years later, about halfway through 1st grade I thought about it and told my mom. She had to get tweezers to dig it out of my ear. :/ I look back on it and think *"damn, I was (still am lol) frickin stupid"*

That joke was bad. And you should feel bad.

You and me both. And I had no idea.

bb's are tiny metal bullets... about the size of a rice grain. An MRI uses extremely powerful magnets for the pictures, so the bb in that guy's head got pulled around thru his brain. (The frontal lobe is associated with personality, memory, thought, etc; so it really messed up the guy's ability to calm down and follow directions of the people trying to help him).
