Tonight's health tip




While I don't have any large-scale, double-blinded, placebo-controlled studies to back it up, I'm going to go out on a limb with this recommendation:

IT IS NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, A GOOD IDEA TO SHOVE LIT FIREWORKS IN YOUR ASS.

This has been a public service announcement from Grumpy Neurology, Inc.

    Rather appropriate that this happened in Darwin.

    An ER doc in Darwin (how apt!!) got cocky and thought he'd seen it all and the universe decided to prove he was wrong. :)

    Alcohol MAY be involved, may it?

    Alcohol was a possible factor?

    WTF? Not only was it a factor, it was the motivation. Why else would someone think putting a firecracker in their butt was a fun thing to do to pass the time.

    That said, I do miss firecracker night.

    Is it wrong to think that he's been ripped off and can't be nominated for a Darwin Award?

    You have to take yourself out of the gene pool to be nominated for a Darwin award. Perhaps he has...

    OK, so would the placebo have been NOT sticking fireworks in your derriere? Would there still have been alcolhol involved?

    I can approve scientifically (though I don't know how) that the most common phrase heard right before a fatal/you'll-wish-it-had-been-fatal accident is thus

    "Hold my beer and watch this!"

    Although you can't really state that with authority, since you are a neurologist and rectum related issues should really be referred to a specialist.
