As he has for the past twelve years, Barry Petchesky has compiled a year-end list of emergency room dramas involving things stuck in people's body orifices. This is as good a time as any to remind you not to stick things in your body holes that aren't designed for that purpose. The items are taken from U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's reports of emergency room visits in 2024. In this year's list, he dropped reporting on what kids stuck up their noses or in their ears, and there aren't even any throat reports. The report is merely on three orifices on the lower end of the human body, so you can consider the whole post NSFW. The objects removed might even induce nightmares. You can ask why and how, but we can assume that 98% of the time, the patient explained they slipped and fell. However, some include notes from the patient that will make you cringe. I even had to look up a couple of words. Read the list at Defector.

Good idea. I'll tell my friend to tell the nurses that it's a Christmas miracle why the elf suddenly appeared in there, rather than on his usual perch on the shelf.

Ah, yes, the old "I slipped and fell onto ..." excuse. Doctors and nurses never believe that B.S. line so maybe folks should come up with a different reason why an object got stuck "up there".
