ER Nurses React to the Craziest Things Stuck in Butts

We are reacting to the craziest things stuck in butts that ER nurses actually hear about, from cue balls and shampoo bottles to light bulbs, Maglites, curling wand tips, and even a full Smartwater bottle. We talk through what happens when a patient comes into the emergency room with a rectal foreign body, what X rays can show, when conscious sedation is used, and when general surgery has to step in.

We also get into the part people do not think about enough: bowel perforation, sepsis, embarrassment, delayed treatment, and why honesty in the ER matters. If you love wild ER stories, nurse podcast moments, emergency medicine reactions, and the kind of chaotic healthcare stories that sound fake but are very real, this one is for you.
