I dated a cute little nurse who worked ER for almost 20 years. I asked her what the most rediculous thing was that she saw during her career in ER. We'll call her CG and here is her story:
At 2:00am two Arab guys about 40 years old show up dressed to perfection in Hugo Boss silk suits, tailored shirts and tie, both of them wearing dark sunglasses. Buddy needs to see a doctor but they don't want to say why except to the doctor. CG guesses this is something below the waist and knows they are probably Muslim so there is no way they are going to talk to a woman anyway. She convinces Bud to get undressed including his underwear and lay on the gurney then leaves them. When she comes back a few minutes later to take his vitals Bud is standing beside the gurney in the gown with his shoes and socks - and sunglasses - still on. She tries to get him to lay down but he totally refuses so she takes his temperature (orally) and B/P while he is standing beside the gurney in his sunglasses.
The ER Doctor finally makes his way to Buddy and CG is there to assist, so she follows Doc into the cubicle. Buddy is still standing beside the gurney in his shoes, socks, gown, and sunglasses, and Pal sitting in the corner in his sunglasses.
The guys start to freak out and Buddy is talking to Pal 100 miles an hour in Arabic. Pal translates and says they don't want CG there so Doc asks her to wait outside. CG is standing other side of the curtain and Pal is try to explain that Bud has a Moose up his ass. CG is wondering WTF is a Moose as both of them are getting excited in totally broken English. Doc comes out of the cubicle nearly in tears trying to contain himself from laughter and tells CG to get a sigmoidoscope.
Once CG has everything, Doc asks her to assist and they have a big arguement with Pal and Buddy that she has to be there. Buddy is still standing beside the gurney in his sunglasses and they manage to coax him onto the bed laying his side, Pal was holding Buddy's hand - and sunglasses so they won't fall off. Doc sticks his finger in and immediately says Oh My God! After a performing a short digital exam he pulls his finger out and tells CG to immobilze Buddy and get him to X-ray Stat.
An orderly helped her strap Buddy down - still laying on his side, sunglasses still in place. After CG left the guys in Radiology she lost track until a bit later around 6:00am. It had turned out that Buddy had a can of Hair Mousse Gel stuck up his butt during sex play and they were concerned he would perforate his sigmoid colon with the tip. They knocked him out and dilated his anus enough to remove it, then called CG to get him from surgery and take him to ER for recovery.
When CG and the orderly pushed Buddy out of the OR Dept, Pal was waiting right outside the door and insisted they had to put Buddy's sunglasses back on. CG said Buddy sat beside Pal waiting for him to wakeup and made sure Buddy had his sunglasses on until he was finally discharged.
Afterwards Radiology had a bidding war going to see who, Surgery or ER, would get the x-ray for their staff lounge.
