ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Crazy Stories From The ER -- Retained Objects?! Doctors actually use the phrase "retained objects" to categorize a group of cases, very common in the ER, yet, seldom discussed... 
A man came in complaining of pain and bleeding from down below. He was trying to quit smoking and had replaced cigarettes with sunflower seeds, eating them shell and all whenever he got the urge.
During the rectal exam, doctors discovered a giant sunflower seed mass crowning like a baby's head. Despite castor oil and trying to deliver it, they ended up picking out the pieces with tweezers until it was small enough to pass!
A woman came in complaining of pain in her pelvis, so the doctor put her in the stirrups and performed a pelvic exam. He immediately removed the problem -- a set of car keys. The woman explained she didnt want her boyfriend taking the car, so she hid the keys in a place where "he never goes".
A patient came in with a very simple case: a toilet bowl scrubber had become lodged in his rectum. Curiously, he wasnt sure how it got there?!?!
So please everyone, remember to get to the doctor if something is troubling you. Don't delay, and don't be embarrassed -- they've probably seen worse. C'Ya later 'baters!
