    Wedding Ring story

    Supposedly true story from Houston Medical Center

    A man went to the hospital to have his wedding ring cut off from his Hoohoo. According to the Nurse attending, the patient's girl friend found the ring in his pants pocket and she got so mad at him, she used petroleum jelly to slip the ring on his hoohoo while he was asleep. I don't know what's worse:

    1) Having your girl friend find out that you're married.

    2) Explaining to your wife how your wedding ring got on your hoohoo.

    3) Or finding out your hoohoo fits through your wedding ring.

      4) the stress/fear that the saw would slip from the ring while cutting !

      Maybe he's reaallly fat fingered...

          You know, I have heard that story attributed to the Houston Medical center many times. But which hospital? The medical center in Houston is an area of town with a bunch of hospitals and clinics, sort of a generic description of the part of town, like Burnside in Portland Ore, South Central in Los Angeles... Covers a wide area...

              Ouch. This version may not be exactly true, but it does happen. If you really want to cringe, the Urology Review case report cited in the snopes references provides for an interesting/painful read. Being a medical journal, however, one of the images (while clinical in nature) may be NSFW - hence I won't link it here.

                  This is true: around 1980 my girlfriend at the time was working as a nurse in the ER of a Chattanooga-area hospital. A guy came in with the head of an axe around his, uh, body part. It required decompression of the body part with a really big needle. I don't think he ever did that again.

                  (Now I've heard of hitting the nail on the head, but this is carrying things a little too far.)

                  Between urologists and gastroenterologists, we've got the cocktail party chatter pretty well covered around here...

                      If he did, i think he'd go to a different emergency room.

                          I am sitting here trying to picture that in my head and wincing. I guess I really don't want to know exactly how it worked.
