$#!t A Brick...
2017 Honorable Mention
Confirmed True by Darwin
Monumentally incredible
stupidity verified in
a respected Medical Journal! A 20-year-old man arrived at the emergency room
complaining of rectal pain. Abdominal films revealed a radiopaque object in
the lower rectum. A spherical radiolucency was noted in the upper pole of
the mass.
Confirmed True by Darwin
Upon questioning, the patient said that he had been fooling around with a close friend. After stirring a batch of concrete mix, the patient laid on his back with his feet up the wall while his friend poured the slurry through a funnel into his rectum.
Under general anesthesia, the mass was delivered without incident. Examination of the specimen revealed a perfect concrete cast of the rectum, measuring 12x7x5cm and weighing 275g. A layer of concrete was chipped off the upper part of the specimen revealing a white plastic ping-pong ball--the radiolucency observed in the abdominal x-ray.
The cement was an attempt to retrieve a ping pong ball! Blood alcohol level was negative. The attending physician recommended a psychiatric consultation, but the patient declined.
