Someone recently told me that when you are in a hospital er and have an unusual case, word spreads throughout the hospital and staff from other departments come to observe. I think that's what happened and why so many people came and saw me. Here is my story.
I once I had to go to the ER when I got a travel size can of shaving cream stuck inside my rear end. It's embarrassing to tell this story because it's true. I was traveling on business. I was playing around and I accidentally pushed the can in too far and it went all the way up inside my body. I tried for an hour to get it out but couldn't reach it. I looked on the internet and figured out what to do. I read that this could be a serious medical problem and that I should go to an emergency room asap.
I walked into the er and had to tell a cute receptionist what happened. The receptionist was very pretty and kind, and she seemed excited and happy to hear what was going on with me. She took my insurance information and told me to sit in the waiting area. While I sat she kept looking my way and she smiled at me a few times. I liked her.
It was around noon and crowded and busy and I thought I would have to wait a long time, but a nurse came soon and she was speaking with the receptionist who was pointing my way. They were having an animated conversation about something and laughing quite a bit. The nurse came over with a wheelchair and asked how I was feeling. She had me sit in the wheelchair and pushed me past the receptionist (who made eye contact and smiled at me again). She took me to a big brightly lit area with curtains and examination tables.
Then I had to tell the nurse my whole story. She asked a lot of questions about what I was doing and what happened, and how often I masturbated with something sticking in my rear. She seemed genuinely curious about how I got into this predicament. She pulled the curtains closed and had me remove all my clothes and asked me to lie on an examination table. She handed me a small green paper sheet to cover myself.
A doctor and intern came and asked me to explain what happened again. The doctor looked like she was a few years older than me, around 30 years old and she was very pretty. I told her what I was doing and what happened. I said the can slipped inside me while I was masturbating and I tried to get it out unsuccessfully. It was embarrassing, but she acted completely professional.
I wanted to be honest so she knew exactly what happened. It was a medical facility so I assumed they had seen this kind of thing before. She asked if I was in any pain. The doctor examined me briefly by pushing on my abdomen and feeling for the can through my lower abs. She ordered a series of X-rays to establish the position of the can. She said that after she got the X-rays she would try remove the shaving cream can.
A hospital aide came and helped me get into a wheelchair and started pushing me to the X-ray department. I was naked except for the small green paper sheet which reminded me of the paper bibs that dentists use. The paper sheet barely covered my lap. It took fifteen minutes to get to the radiology department. Then the aide left me in a hallway with patients being brought in and out of radiology rooms. I was sitting in the wheelchair covered by my green paper sheet.
After about 30 minutes a nurse brought me into the X-ray room. It was a brightly lit room with 3 technicians and 2 nurses. They weren't concerned with my modesty. They helped me lie down on a large metal table. I was lying on my back and a radiology tech positioned me with my legs wide open, knees bent, and my arms above my head. She took the paper sheet so I didn't have anything covering me while I was in the X-ray room.
Everyone went behind a wall with a glass window while they took my X-rays and they were talking and laughing. I don't think they were laughing at me but they seemed to be having a good time. The door to the hallway was open most of the time and people kept walking into the room and chatting with the radiology staff while I was laying there in the middle of the room completely naked. I was exposed to many people.
When they finished taking X-rays, the nurse came in and asked if I was still able to sit in the wheelchair. She was looking at me and she seemed concerned. This made me nervous that the X-rays showed something terrible. She helped me stand up and helped get me back in the wheelchair. Then she handed me the paper sheet which had been torn almost into two pieces. I don't know how the sheet got torn.
She pushed me into the hall to wait for someone to come back and get me. I sat there waiting for a long time. The paper sheet was small and now torn. I wasn't sure it even covered me. Every once in a while the nurse would come out and ask if I was feeling uncomfortable. I didn't understand that. I was sitting in a busy hallway with a torn sheet of paper covering my lap. I felt nervous and kind of exposed.
Anyone who looked at me could see that I was naked except for a small sheet of torn paper. I don't know if she was asking if I was uncomfortable because I was naked or because I had a can stuck inside me. I didn't want to be a difficult patient. I told her that I was ok and thanked her for checking on me. I think she was a nice person. She reached down and adjusted my paper so it sat higher on my lap. She looked at my lap and shook her head as she walked away.
I got the idea that the paper sheet was too high on my lap and wasn't covering me. I was trying to reposition the paper so it would cover more of me when another aide came and asked if I had a can stuck inside my body. I told her it was me. She smiled and asked how I was feeling and how I got a can stuck. I explained how I lost the can inside my body. I probably explained in too much detail. She giggled and shook her head at me. She told me not to worry and she said she was sure they would get the can out of me somehow.
After that she stopped asking questions and she started pushing me back to the er department. I was trying to hold the paper sheet so it covered my private area. I didn't think it was covering me very well. I didn't have time to re-adjust it and couldn't adjust it while we were moving. It was a small piece of paper. I felt nervous about what might be showing. I could feel cool air blowing up under the sheet.
As she wheeled me down each hall people were noticing me and smiling. I felt very exposed. The lights were so bright everywhere in the hospital. In one hallway there were four women who stopped their conversation as I was being pushed toward them and one woman nodded in my direction. The other three turned and looked at me and they all laughed.
After we passed them I asked the aide if I looked ok and if I was covered by the sheet. She walked around to look at the front of me. She asked if I had torn the paper on purpose and if I wanted everyone to see me naked? I said I didn't. Well, she giggled, "it's not covering you and you've definitely been exposing yourself to everyone we've passed." I was horrified.
