UTMC

Response from a Urologist: "At our hospital recently the general surgeons removed from the stomach a bound and gagged barbie doll that the patient had swallowed."

I swallowed a toy soldier when I was young, guess that doesn't even rate this list...

I swallered a bug ridin down the street once.


Oh nevermind....

... and as a result of this thread, my "Normal" friends over on facebook will ask me. "Where do you find this stuff?"

"Unusual Foreign Bodies Removed From Patients"

actually, i do believe you WOULD type this exact sequence of words into the googles because just as normal as it seems to me to bind and gag a barbie doll and make someone swallow it, would it be for you to think, "you know what i want to know? what weird things have been removed from inside of people."

...actually, as i think about it, what other things have been removed? im too busy to read the whole thing but i, too kinda want to know

it's not so much that i google this sort of thing, really. i've always been fascinated with abnormal psychology. (i can't really imagine why that is. i wonder if someone can enlighten me.) i sort of just follow the trails from things that i find on news sites, and sometimes they run off into the weeds. think of me as an internet whale. i filter the internet through my baleen and pick out the interesting bits for consumption.

also, if you enjoyed that, here's one of my favorite sites from years and years ago.

and just to tie it back to the UTMC, there's a motorcycling section of that site:

but i do like to google trichobezoars occasionally. the images are beautiful.

It's easy, you have kids.
