Quote:
A vicar in Yorkshire has had a potato removed from his bottom after claiming that he fell on it while hanging curtains naked.

Nurse Trudi Watson of Sheffield Northern General Hospital recalled how the unnamed clergyman in his 50s arrived at the A&E ward with the embarrassing problem.

She told local newspaper The Star: "He explained to me, quite sincerely, he had been hanging curtains naked in the kitchen when he fell backwards on to the kitchen table and on to a potato.

"It`s not for me to question his story. He had to undergo surgery to have it removed."

Other foreign bodies removed at Sheffield A&E units reportedly include a can of deodorant, a carnation, a cucumber and a Russian doll.

Watson added: "My advice? Don`t do it. It can be very dangerous and potentially life-threatening."

A spokeswoman for Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said that although "unusual accidents" are often seen, staff are encouraged to deal with the matter in a "discreet, professional and kind way".

Presumably not from the same patient. Unless they were playing some perverted version of the Generation Game. :o

No I wouldn`t my ex used to work in Kings College hospital in London and I used to get regular "you`ll never guess" stories.
There was a brand of vacuum cleaner at the time that had a small fan just inside the nozzle of the hose. Resulted in several macerated todgers.

I knew an older lady, who was having a bath whilst on holiday. She slipped and "sat" on one of the bath taps (it was one of those older types with the 4 protruding bars :o ). She had to be helped free and then explain it the the doctors when they treated her.
I`ve never been able to look at that style of bath tap again......... ;)
