Rectal Foreign Bodies

The people who have worked around an emergency department for years have seen all sorts of rectal foreign bodies. everything from gerbels (often in weather men or local news anchors if you believe the urban legends) to coke bottle to vibrators, shampoo bottles, fruits and vegetables, and whatever else you can think of. I have only seen a vibrator, a condom half full of crack (crack in the crack), and most impressive, one of these long oil funnels that is big on one end and tappered on the other. The bad thing is, this guy (who was just changing the oil in his car naked and slipped and fell on top of this thing on accident), had it in his rectum big end first! HOW!? Good thing is, it was easy to remove. pass a foley through the hole, blow up the balloon and pull it out. Crazy guy!.......in other news, arthur "Red" Heirin is working on his first case presentation for the blog, and it should be up soon. Stay tuned.

Bad Weather, and the razorbacks season in review

With a patch of bad weather coming through the area lately, the ER has been busy. Car accidents, of course, and slips and falls with broken hips, and broken everything else, and hypothermic bums, and hypothermic little old ladies. And of course fires, which are the worst, and even people getting killed trying to make fire, like the two different guys we have seen killed cutting firewood this winter. I am certainly not a global warming naysayer, but this is the coldest winter since at least 1977 in many parts of the world. It is the coldest it has been in Key West for 131 years! I like the cold sometimes, but this is causing a lot of anguish, and is having all kinds of unseen effects like driving up fuel prices, and may even contribute to another flu (swine or otherwise) outbreak by keeping everyone jammed together in doors. ... (By the way, sorry to use all these dots and wierd punctuations, but it seems you can't start a new paragraph and indent on here.)..... Anyway, I have been using some of my extra time inside to reflect on the razorbacks. I am happy with the bowl we got, and I think we beat a tough team, from a tougher than most think conference. I am not Happy with Mallett, though. He looks like Gumby trying to play football, and he thinks he could have even thought about going pro? I doubt it. But the thing I hate the most is here he is, after his "sophomore" year, wanting to go. We know he doesn't care about the team. We can see where his selfish thoughts lie, and we have to spend the whole next season knowing he is leaving us early, and wishing he could have done it sooner. Oh well, I do think we will have an awesome season next year, maybe we actually will be a contender in the west?

Go Razorbacks

Well, I didnt make the game, but those damn trojans went down hard, and Mallett and the whole team were amazing! Now we get to see the razorbacks back in Little Rock, and They truly are hitting a stride.

This is too much!

I don't mind working my ass off in the ICU for weeks, but when I am forced into call on Saturday night when the Hogs are at home, after I have already worked 14 out of the last 15 days....it is too much! My dad and brother were both going to the game with me, and it was going to be awesome! Sure, we are just playing Troy, but I really dislike Troy. I typically have a ton of respect for strong mid - major schools, and I hate the BCS and think everyone should be on a more level field (playoff), but those Bastards from Troy, I don't care for. I think it is just because I have known some people from the town that I didn't care for. When I think of it, I don't remember ever meeting anyone from Alabama that I liked.

A new Name

Hogs Nearly pulll Major Upset

The season has already had its highs and lows for the hogs, but a superlative high nearly came yesterday with an upset of Florida. The hogs were thwarted at the last second by a field goal, to put the gators up 23-20. Oh well. Mallet played well anyway, and I am really starting to like this team.

Stop The Skid Hogs!

Ok, so we aren't looking too great in conference play. We had a tough couple of weeks, and our championship hopes look slim at best. Time to buckle down this week in Arlington and take care of business. We can still make a good bowl, and its time to get some wins under our belts!

Mallet and The Hogs Cruise to easy victory over Missouri St. ! Go Hogs!

Razor Rock

An exciting week is under way as Bobby Petrino orchestrates Razor Rock Week in Little Rock. Can't wait for the home opener against Missouri State! Go Hogs!
