Last week when I was on call, we were consulted for a patient on the floor who had a small bowel obstruction leading to surgery. During surgery they found a condom full of water. We were consulted to assess his suicide thoughts and see if he needed some psychiatric help.
When I questioned him how a condom full of water ended up in his small bowel, he explained how it was a complete accident. Just when I was about to press the issue about how a condom filled with water was in his mouth, he states that he didn't mean to swallow it. Apparently he was having sex with his girlfriend, thought it would be hot to deep throat a condom, it got stuck, he choked and had to swallow it. He thought his stomach acids would digest it. He woke up at 3am with severe abdomen pain and vomiting that he couldn't explain so he came into the hospital.
I love these patients.
