What foreign object...
 

...have doctors had to remove from your body? And why did you put it there?

For me, it was a bit of paper towel from my ear. They told me I would get fewer earaches if I dried my ears after swimming......

I had to have my permanent front tooth removed from my skull, in 2nd grade.

I put it there because I was playing on the playground, and being a smartass, and as I ran away I tripped and my tooth went into my head.

I don't ever remember putting anything in my ear or nose but I do remember my brother telling me it was good to eat rocks and so I found a really tiny one (might have been hard dirt, but it felt rockish) and tried to chew it. I was probably 3 or 4.

:)

Can't say I ever had such an experience of the removal of a FB, butt we did remove a nightstick from some guys ass once. Oh yea, he put it there himself. And we removed a wine bottle from some womans ass as well, her boyfriend put it there. Both had to go to surgery to have them removed.

The lesson:
Be careful what you put up your ass folks. Oh, and wear clean underware in case you ever have to go to the hospital. :D

The doc had to remove one of those plastic-capsule silica desiccant thingies from my father's throat.. He took that instead of the two ibuprofen he had in his other hand, and it got stuck in his esophagus.

He was fine. Embarrassed, but fine.

A tiny fragment of metal ... from the cornea of my left eye.


Wear safety goggles when drilling, kids. :smack:

a .22 mag bullet , well the seven pieces it split in to when I shot it thru mu thigh

A 2 inch nettle from this weird stingie grass in outback Australia.

I've got no feeling under my right knee from when I had a knee reconstruction and the nettle thingie must of imbedded there on a hunting trip with my ex ex ex boyfriend. Instead of it get nasty and getting pushed out, it worked its way inwards and went really really gross. Now I have another scar from where they had to extract it.

We need a "show us your scars" thread.

Well, zipster, that was just a bad move on your part...or did someone else shoot you? :)

Big Bag of Cheap weed , six pac of Bud Tall boys , .22 mag derringer , need I say More ??

"Hold my beer and watch this!"

my Dr a Fellow Former Marine Closed the door and gave me WHAT FOR !!!!
And then said " Well at least you were a good shot , a few Inches difference and you could have bled Out !!"

my new brother in law is an EMT. he says that they always say, " I fell on it"

(laughing at Zippy)

I can't recall anything taken out, unless you count the 0 gauge glass tunnels in my labia, which my surgeon handed to my daughter after he was done.

But they kinda fell out.

A disgusting ganglion cyst on the inside of my right wrist. It completely squicked me out. Couldn't stand to look at it, touch it, think about it....GAH!@! I'm all squirmy right now typing about it.

Anyway, the doc drained it and it returned within a few hours. Finally had it removed. The doc let me look at it in situ after they'd sliced my wrist open.

ARRAGGHGHH!

Thirty years later and I still CANNOT get that image out of my head.

should have just slammed a book onto it.
