Being a doctor and having to take care of elderly patients is a challenging job in and of itself; however, having to deal with some of the elderly patients’ quirks, such as this gentleman and where he likes to keep his pill bottle, must be even more challenging.
Gained a Stone
Children, especially those who are still very young, have a tendency to put things in their mouths that they shouldn’t be tasting or swallowing. Most likely, they’re trying it out out of curiosity and aren’t fully cognizant of the dangers.
Gained A Stone
This young girl persisted in eating rocks right up until the point where she had to be taken to the hospital and operated on. Because of this, she ultimately required medical attention.

Gushing Over The Experience
It is not without risk to cut into a tumor, so it is probably for the best that he was taught this lesson as soon as possible rather than waiting.
Punctured
When people arrive at the ER, they often tell a story that is so outlandish that it’s hard to believe. This woman, for example, claimed that she had tripped over her rat tail comb and landed on her head.
Punctured
When the doctor finally discovered the culprit, he had to remove her bowels, but not before it had punctured her abdomen. They couldn’t tell for sure if this was an accident or a deliberate act.
Break it Off
People who suffer from a variety of mental disorders are more likely to engage in behaviors that they would not otherwise engage in, such as severing pieces of wire hangers and inserting them into spaces where they are not intended to be placed.

Stuffing
We’re sure this doctor was shocked when they found this sausage taped to the man’s inner thigh. That must have been the talk of the hospital for a long time.
Just a Hair
It’s not uncommon for things to enter the body without any explanation. When this happens, the surgeon who has to remove whatever the foreign object is must be a little unnerved.
Just A Hair
A 10-inch-long strand of hair from a very young patient was enough for this surgeon. It’s safe to say that everyone is baffled as to how it came to be in that position.
That’s Where That Went
Many surgeons have been known to leave instruments or bandages in their patients’ bodies after major surgery by accident. This has the unfortunate side effect of increasing the number of lawsuits claiming the same exact thing.
That’s Where That Went
When doctors do things like this, it can cause a lot of issues, as this woman found out the hard way. A pair of scissors were left inside of her by the surgeon!
Festering
The patient’s inability to care for themselves may be the root of serious problems, rather than addictions or medical malpractice. There is no doubt in our minds that he had a swollen foot when he came to us.
Festering
When the surgeon removed that gauze, they must have been horrified to see what was moving around in the wound because we have no idea how they kept their composure when they saw it.

Say Cheese
The surgeon who discovered the parmesan shaker inside of him had to at least inquire as to how it came to be there. Because it seems implausible to us that he landed on the object, and it somehow wound up inside of him, we’re not sure we believe him.
