- Never, ever leave flashlights, shampoo bottles, beer bottles, or any long, cylindrical object on the floor, because someday you will fall on it, and somehow, it will become lodged in your rectum.

- Latex paint, despite being thick and creamy, does not coat your stomach and provide the same relief as Pepto Bismol.

- The painless chancre of primary syphilis, the cauliflowerlike growths of HPV, the blisters of herpes, and the urethral discharge of gonorrhea/chlamydia can, indeed, all exist on a single penis.

- If, after 83 years as an uncircumcised man, you decide to circumcise yourself with a steak knife, you probably don't want to wait more than two days before you let someone know things aren't healing to well down there.

- Do not road-surf on the top of a moving stick-shift car driven by your younger sibling who only has a learner's permit.

- Never ever find yourself "standing on the corner minding your own business" in any major metropolitan area at night. If you are, you are very likely to be shot or stabbed by "some dude."

- Never leave your last refill of Percocet in plain sight after your doctor's office closes if one of the following three friends is coming over for dinner: some dude, my friend, or that on girl.

- The sharps container is an excellent source for needles. But for most efficient use, be sure to rip it off the wall and shoot up in your bed only when the nurse is not behind your neighbor's curtain.

Thanks for that information, wait. <looks down>. Oh, no need.

Interning under an ER doctor for my break. I'm an EMT-IV during the school year, and head to med school this fall.

I was in the hospital a number of years ago listening to the guy in a bed in the same room tell the police that story almost word for word. Funny stuff.

SacrosanctFiend,

why did you feel the need to take other people's real experiences in the ER and pretend you actually saw it yourself...

Where does he claim it happened to himself?

he might be playgerising (sp?) but never specifically says it has happened to him.

please do not assume.

you're absolutely right....he never directly claimed he saw it himself...but the fact that when asked where he worked...he just mentioned his title and stuff, but didn't clarify that it wasn't at his ER where he saw the stuff.

Woops, guess I overlooked that part...

in any case....he probably didn't mean any harm by it....

it's not like he pretended he raped a girl while passed out for the "brotherhood" experience.

What is "Something I learned perusing the ATOT threads one night"?

I'll take crazy quotes for 800 Alex.

All I'm saying...is that it's not as bad as other things other folks have posted as their own while stealing it from other places.

Maybe you weren't there but there was actually a guy who made a thread about what I posted above.

Some things you just don't joke about. Other things can make you smirk or smile or whatever.

I personally don't care if what he wrote was experienced by him or someone else. It was an interesting read.

For those who will have a fit if he didn't experience it himself...calm down ;)

Don't these exact same things happen in emergency rooms around the world every day?

Hi, guy. Didn't steal it from that forum, as I've never been there. It was things told to me by doctors in the ER, and things I saw. Thanks for playing.

I could certainly care more about it, but some of that stuff is word for word what you posted.

Wow, I'm impressed you can verbalize word for word something that google shows has been repeated on the internet many times. Kudos.

Probably because it's been passed from doctor to doctor as it's funny. As I said, I was told some of that stuff by my co-workers. I don't care if I'm believed or not, we can let the thread die or I can get flamed, whatever.

Edit: And thanks for that site, it's the type of forum I've been looking for.
