There needs to be some kind of formal education regarding the suction effect of the rectum when things go in, and both the purpose and the need of a flared base.
In addition, education on the potential consequences of not using a flared base. Some damage can’t be repaired, leaving the foreign object victim with a permanent colostomy and sewn shut rectum.
Of note. If you say you’re cleaning the house naked and accidentally fall onto an item that happens to get fully inserted rectally, no one will believe you.
You remember when they made pen-lids and plastic bags have holes in them, to protect people from accidental suffocation?
You know how our legendary Type-G electrical plugs have been designed to protect people from accidental electrocution?
Similarly, the government should just pass legislation that any household object that would fit up the average bumhole, should be manufactured with a flared Base.
New cucumbers dropping next summer.
To hell with Brussels and their flared cucumbers!
This is the big brother that the left wants.
What I don't get is why the doctor involved in this situation is asking how the object got into the rectum. Every single story I've heard involves the question being asked, of "How did it get there?"
My medical friend: You know. What is to be gained by asking? What enlightenment do you think will be achieved? They might tell the truth. They might lie. Either way you will regret. Just fetch your forceps and get on with it.
Screening for cases of involuntary abuse.
The draw, the certain something, connecting most individuals in health care, be it in medical care, psychiatric care, or some variation of both, is the human element.
Now, in psych, the arc of the story can be followed, potentially, for quite some time. The people involved may even have the opportunity to know the end of the story.
Medical, however, especially those working the emergency room, are only allowed tiny snippets of those arcs and rarely know the end of the story. Real people, fully exposed in their humanity, of course they ask. They’re collecting as much of the story as they can in their brief amount of time with that person.
The how of traumatic injury also ties into safety. Even if you’ve never used a ladder, for example, you quickly learn leaning to the side instead of climbing down and repositioning the ladder is the path to broken ribs and traumatic brain injuries. You don’t own a table saw but now you know how quickly they can amputate fingers, even on experienced woodworkers.
That and people are always curious beasts.
Rare is the health care worker interested in kink shaming a grown, consenting adult. That’s not why they ask.
Yeah, I get that. But also you have to read the room. I can say that from personal experience that if you ask the doctor a little bit uncomfortable question about their personal experience and history, it's all of a sudden no longer super important to be totally transparent about everything because we're all adults here and we can just tell the truth and why would you even think of doing anything different.
(I mean, I get it. You should tell the truth to the doctor even if it's something intensely personal or w/e. I just don't get why it can't be a conversation that starts off along the lines of "Anything you want to tell me, or do you just want me to take it out?" Just as with cops arresting other cops for DUI or something, I notice this total abandonment of social norms or preserving anyone's dignity or safety et cetera only applies in one direction, when they are speaking to a "patient" or "suspect" or w/e. They have not abandoned the whole concept, not at all, they're just applying it selectively and not to you.)
You go to a healthcare facility to receive healthcare, not to get to know the staff. They’re not your friends. It’s not a bar, though staff are often treated as servers who deliver turkey sandwiches and narcotics instead of alcohol to some patients. They are all being paid, for starters.
The other factor is the SOGIE portion of the chart. There is an entire section devoted to social work/case management, including risk factors and calculations on probability of readmission. Discharge planning. Behavior and psych is just as medical as your medication list. Life details are included. An analysis of housing and drugs is also important.
There’s an impersonal analysis called EDIE that involves calculations on visit frequency and such to all emergency rooms in the last 90 days. You can be a math calculation or you can talk about why.
Medical conditions and injuries don’t occur in vacuums. The people that carry them are a highly variable environmental effect on either, that affects either in significant ways. It’s all very unpredictable if no one talks about it.
Alternatively, healthcare would rigidly follow a by the book approach to a condition or injury, but not the person, wherein every patient is treated exactly the same regardless of who they are or their life circumstances. You would become your inury or condition to full exclusion of everything else that makes you you. I am curious as to why you think this would be the preferred approach to medical treatment.
Not at all what I was talking about lol. I won't go into specifics but it was relevant to what he was recommending that I do.
My point was, people in positions of authority sometimes take the attitude that the people "under" them need to just accept that they have no privacy / dignity / safety even about sensitive or emotional matters. Which, I kind of get it, it's important to be truthful to your doctor even if it's some kind of sensitive matter. To a certain extent it's just business. But, at the same time, it sometimes leads them to be totally unsympathetic to the human side or approach things in an unproductive manner, for example expecting someone they met 30 seconds ago to be comfortable saying "Well how it got there is I stuck a BBQ sauce bottle up my ass on purpose because I'm a fucking depraved pervert and I love to do wanking butt stuff on my own time, last week I did a plunger and a toilet brush" and get surprised when there's any level of hesitation about that response.
you get to assess what damage to expect. having it inserted slowly yourself vs someone else forcibly jamming it in without regard for the person's safety, for example.
What do you believe in no one will believe me, it's a totally original story.
