Here we all are, worried about our waistlines and fitness regimes. And then, today, browsing through the Internet Journal of Emergency & Intensive Care Medicine, I came across a list of case reports that put everything into perspective.

You thought your torn cartilage was nasty? Here are the report titles - now brace yourselves:
Fractured penis during sexual intercourse in a 38 years old male
Fatal poisoning caused by oral ingestion of hair dye
Isolated spinal cord injury following suicidal stab wound in the anterior neck
Pessary-induced traumatic vaginal evisceration following a motor vehicle crash

Well, mostly work - but it did make me think that this is exactly what people pay money to see in films like Saw! And you know that the first page doctors always turn to in their journals is the one with all the gruesome pictures...

Pessary-induced traumatic vaginal evisceration following a motor vehicle crash


Reminds me of a 'Flight For Life' flight I had in the 8o's. We went to Caspar, Wyoming and picked up this big burly cowboy oil field worker that had a lady's silver bullet vibrator stuck.......ermmmm.....shall we say 'where the sun don't shine'.?

The only thing he said was, " I f******g hate that Energiser Bunny! LOL

True story, I promise! LOL
