Six Shocking Stories - Super Gross Absorbency

a dog. The dog had been in a situation where I guess its owner died and they died in the house. So the dog was eating the dead owner in the house. Yeah, And we talked about that last week, right, And this is what triggered this story in her mind, because we talked about last week a guy who died in the house and was eaten by his thirty cats that were living in the house. Yeah, so we know it's definitely

common that this happened. So our listener said that she got the dog all situated after they brought the dog in, and then she know, you know, like left the room, came back later and found this officer, you know in question the quote bag sitting on the ground and the dog was licking her face all over the place. So she just sat there for a minute and watched it happen,

just because this lady was so unpleasant. And then she got great joy in telling her that the dog was taken in because it was eating decomposing flesh only hours before. This so seriously disgusting. She said that the officer was horrified, and she said she still thinks about it to this

day and laughs. It's pretty awesome story, actually. I mean, like eating a decomposing body can certainly expose the dog to some bacteria that it can definitely transfer to a person, especially because they have fur, and unless they gave that thing like a hardy bath, which I doubt they had yet at that point, you know, it would be absorbed in the fur around the mouth and everything. But it's no, it's probably no more of a risk than the dirty

bacteria that live in a dog's mouth on a regular basis. Anyway, licking your face, it's kind of it's kind of a wash. Yeah, I do think that's particularly gross in general, Like I see people, you know, letting their dog like their face they share food with their dog. I'm like, all right, well, you're it's because we're it's because we're not dog people. Because my cat kisses me and likes me sometimes, and I don't care. So it's just like whatever whatever floats

your boat, you know. Yeah, I can't get down with that, but maybe that's just me well, because I mean it is the same with the cat though, Like the cat cleans their asshole with their tongue and then all of a sudden they're like licking you, right, So you don't know where their mouths go, and they certainly don't go in normal places that that humans do for the most part, I guess you would say, so disgusting. Are you onto

the next one? This one's called a sharp mind. A forty four year old woman went to the hospital and said she was having seizures and right lower extremity weakness after she claimed she hit her head on a cabinet door. Yeah, so when she got there, they did an MRI and they found that she had a wound on her head that corresponded to the findings of the MRI, which was she had a little bit of an absess in her brain.

So an absess is when there's some kind of infection that starts and it's this localized pocket a most of puss. That's what an abscess is. And if you look at that under the microscope, you'll see white blood cells that are trying to fight this bacterial infection that's going on. And they thought, okay, she went she went to the hotp so she had she did have a history of suicide attempts two years prior, but they thought, okay, this

story sounds probable. She hit her head on a cabinet, she got this wound, it caused this abscess in her brain. Kind of next, right, So they gave her antibiotics and they also gave her anti convulsionts because she was having these seizures. And she went on her way and everything seemed to be fine, but they wanted to follow up MRI just to make sure. So she goes to get the next MRI. What was it about a month later

after her first visit. Yeah, and I'm not so this is the part of the story that's a little bit. That's a little I guess. They just wanted to make sure that that diagnosis was completely accurate, so they wanted her to get a follow up MRI with contrast, so contrast makes it. It's when you get people have had this done before, they give you an IV, before you get a test done, and they put this contrast die

within your body. In it, certain things light up that you wouldn't normally see on a standard MRI, so that's I guess they wanted to really see what was going on. And when they decided to do that, for some reason they said, hold off a second, we can't do another MRI because this woman has a foreign body inside of her brain. It looks like and a metallic actually, and for anyone that's ever gotten MRIs, do you know why they always ask you if you have any metal in

your body when you get an MRI. No, I've never really been sure about that. So the M and MRI stands for magnetic because it's it's essentially a giant magnet. And there's been all of these documented injuries. I think we talked about one on mother No's death right when we first started the podcast Familiar Even there's injuries that can occur from the having any kind of magnetic things in a room. And in the case that we talked about months ago, it was a stretcher or a gurny

got pulled into the MRI machine. I believe that was what the cause of it was. But my husband's a firefighter, you know, and he's even said that, like, yeah, you can't if you go in there with like your air pack on or something. You have to be careful. And

anybody that does MRIs knows this. So they must have there must be a reason that they decided to look at this again, right, So instead they decided to do a CT scanner an X ray because they're better to do because they don't have magnets and they're not going to be an injury to the patient. And when they did the CT and the X ray, they saw, well, why don't you tell them what they saw in there? They found a sharp needle like object in her brain.

So that was kind of weird and that probably wouldn't have happened from her hitting her head on the cabinet, right, So they decided to do surgery to figure out what this was and remove this object in her brain. And when they pulled it out, why don't you tell them what it was? A rusty needle. Yeah, it was a rusty sewing needle. So when they start interviewing her and figuring out the story, she finally admits that it was indeed a suicide attempt, that she was trying to stick

this needle into her brain. Yeah, and she had a history of depression, She had multiple suicide attempts, so this wasn't out of the normal for her, I guess. And she had been admitted to a psychiatric unit for three weeks, and that's where she did admit that this was a

suicide attempt. At first, I was thinking, you know, with her cabinet theory that before they identified it as a sewing needle, I'm like, is it that far fetched if she smacked her head on a cabinet, that there could have been the possibility there was a nail or something sticking out of it. But I guess that would be kind of a stretch. Honestly though, that would be more plausible than this, because if you have a blunt force against something, there's force that would push the now through,

that could push the now through the skull. Right, But how do you on your own get a sewing needle and stick it through a bone or like a stone, you know what I mean? I mean, I would I

have no idea how this would even happen. So I think that the only plausible way that this happened is because when you're a fetus and you're developing, your skull bones are called fontanelles, and they're they have to be pliable because when you're a fetus and you give birth, if anyone's actually seen a fetus come out of a vagina, their head kind of collapses so it could fit through the birth canal, right, and that's anatomically designed to do that.

And then as the fetus grows and becomes older as a child, those bones start to harden. So I don't know if you've ever heard with an infant that they have a soft spot. That's because those fontanelles had not yet fused yet, so you can really touch their brain through their skin. That's why you need to be careful

with a newborn's head. But as time goes on over the years and children grow, it needs to be kind of pliable because the brain grows, you know, like your brain's the different size from when you came out until it is now. And once the adult brain is fully formed, then the skulls start to harden and then they become one solid bone. Or what we call the skull, right, But those little cracks where those bones met, they're called

sutures on the skull. And it's like those zigzaggy lines you see if you look at a skull, there are kind of areas that could be weakness. So if she hit that right soft spot, that's how she could have got through. I mean then you couldn't even do that if you tried right like she just hit it. Yeah, I mean, I couldn't even imagine the pain of doing something like that. So our next one is called super

gross absorbency. A twenty seven year old female went to the doctor after having foul smelling discharge and a green for three weeks. So what would your first thought of that be, Well, she was having sex. If you're a sexually active person, you'd be like, oh shit, I got I would think I got trikamonas or something like it's sexually transmitted infection, because that gives off a green, foul smelling discharge. Right, Yeah, I mean I guess I wouldn't.

I wouldn't know what to think, but you're right, Like, I think everybody's first thought, which was this patient's first thought too, was that she had an STI or something going on from that. So she was convinced she had the STI, and she had asked to have a blood test to try to rule that out, thinking that would be an easy treatment for her. But of course, during normal questioning, I assumed they were like, when was your

last period? And because she had an IUD inserted four years before, that made her period pretty irregular, and she couldn't remember off of the top of her head when her last period was. Yeah, I hate like, I'll go on about how bad I hate IUDs, and this is just like another reason because you just don't really know what's going on with your body. She was having her period that lasted forty eight to sixty days, so yeah,

thank you that I won't get pregnant now. But who the fuck wants to have their period for forty eight to sixty days.

about your clothes, your sheets, everything in between, is so obnoxious. Well, I also think that this particular incident that we're talking about right now is more likely to occur in that situation because you don't have the standard, Like it starts off kind of slow, it's heavy, and then it fades off and you're kind of paying attention to like, Okay, I'm using mini pads this day, I'm using tampons this day,

I'm using mini pads when it weans off. So just the irregular schedule of it could make you not be paying attention to what's going on going on down there. Yeah, So of course because of this, they wanted to do a pelvic exam, which I guess she didn't think they'd want to do. But why wouldn't they do that? And what did they find? They found this nasty ass embedded tampon like shoved all the way up inside her vagina, next to her cervix. It was gray, pink ball of

cotton with a string coming off of it. So I guess my question is is that she said she was having the smell and the discharge for three weeks, So does that mean it was in there for three weeks or does that mean can that take a while to developed? No, I know it was in there for the three whole weeks. But could it have been in there for four months and then only started be having the irritation after three

weeks or how would that work? Well, she probably she probably kind of semi realized the last time that she put it up there when they pulled it out, right, So that's how they got the timeline. But what happens is sometimes women will put up a tampon and not and forget to take it out for the late for the last time they were bleeding, and if they have sex afterwards, it could jam up there so hard that you would it just gets stuck up there all the

way in the cervix. There's kind of this area around the cervix where there's like pockets where you could store, where you could store stuff. I guess, Oh my god, So that's what happened. She had sex and it jammed

it up there. And I don't know for someone like me that's given vaginal birth three times, there's like no way this could happen to me because I could push out a tampon without even pulling it out at this point, right, you know, wait, sorry outside note, somebody asked, I think this week what our special skill was, So is that your special skill?

out of me in two seconds. Right. So, I mean you you don't have that problem obviously, but like this is what happens after you have a bunch of kids come out of your badge. Right. So, but for this woman in particular, it's that's what happened. Like it got stuck up there and you wouldn't really be able to feel it, you know how. You know how when you wear that ring thing, the new ring, the Nuva ring, like when you put it up there, like after a while,

you're kind of like not aware that it's up there. Yeah, Like I use that thing for eight years. You definitely don't feel it. Yeah. So it's just like things could be up there and you wouldn't you wouldn't feel it, And then what happens is, you know, the old blood is sitting there and it's just forming bacteria and having sex and having all the guys bacteria up there as well, and it just that's what happened, and it started being infectious and just that's what was causing the smell, was

the bacteria growth on there. Yeah, I mean, how I'm so surprised when I hear stories like this that people don't get toxic shock syndrome from something like this, and so they did, Well, everybody doesn't get it, and it's

actually kind of really a rare thing. But it's one of those things when you start first start learning how to use tampons with the little inserts in the box, that like scares the shit out of you, you know, and it could, like anybody could get toxic shock syndrome, not just not just women who are menstruating, but like anybody, because all it is is a bacteria staff or a strep bacteria that it's a certain bacteria that produces toxins

which can cause all of the problems. Right, So when they found this tampon in her, they treated her for toxic shock syndrome just in case. They gave her antibiotics just to make sure she didn't develop it, but and she didn't. There was no this this happens a lot. This is actually not like that shocking. It's it's kind

of frequent. I believe. When we posted this in the gross room, there's actually people who are nurses in the hospital who commented underneath that were just like, oh, yeah, this happened to me once and we had to clear the whole entire wing of the er because it smelled so bad. But that pulled it out, will you interviewed Amy Locker, and she said that was the worst smell. Oh yeah, smelled. Yeah, we've we've definitely heard that story before.

So it's not it's not a complete surprise. And they tell you, you know, you have to be careful when you use tampons. They always tell you to use the lowest absorbency, Like I said, like I have to get tampons that are like there's circumference of a dildo to stay up. But this is total conversation with your child. Well it's well, I'm just being honest here, So yeah, I don't know,

it's it. I think that it happens to some people sometimes and and I could see this because ever since I had like a like a while ago, now almost ten years ago, I had endometrial ablation and it caused my period to be very irregular after that, and so I didn't get it for some months and then and now especially like with the whole menopause thing, like I

don't get it for months in a time. So when you're not regularly doing that, you could see how how you could forget to take it out because it's just like not on your mind. Oh, she was bleeding forty eight to sixty days, like, of course she just forgot, you know, Yeah, I mean this is something I'm innocent mistake. It's an innocent mistake. I'm so paranoid about it. The thought of also like thinking of it and reaching up there and not being able to feel it is so

scary too. Well, you'd be to feel it if you stuck your finger up there and reached in there, but you just you just can't. You know, Normally, when a tampon gets full, you could kind of feel it, but like this, well I can. It's a kind of question though, So when you're having sex, the guy seriously doesn't feel that there's something in there too, there's there's room up there, dude, Like a baby comes through that thing. It stretches. It's big,

I know. But most of the time, most of the time, a penis is longer than a finger, so you would think they would feel it in some capacity. No, you're not. But like I'm trying to tell you, the cervix is at the top of the vagina, but then on the sides of the of the top of the vagina is where it could get stuck up in one of those little cul de sac things. It's like a little pocket it, So it would it would be like to the side, guy.

I mean, you hear a guy saying that they feel they could sometimes feel I U. D. Strings when they're having sex with somebody. Some don't and some do. But that's like that's like a nylon string that's poking the tip of their penis, so of course they're gonna feel that. Yeah, But like the tampon's like a pillow to the side, like it probably like this feels nice. Yeah, it's so gross, all right. The next one's called Crack. The case a forty four year old guy was found dead in his

car parked under a bridge. So what would be normal protocol in this case, when you just find somebody did like this, the cops are called, Oh you would call it. Yeah, you would call the medical examiner or the coroner and say, we have a suspicious death. And this isn't any case there's I mean, listen, like the guy could have pulled over because he was having a heart attack and died, but like it could be a total natural death. But you just can't ever assume that that that's autopsy worthy

all the time. So typically the coroner would come to the scene. Well, yeah, they would come to the scene or they would bring the body to the morgue to do an autopsy. All right, So the coroner was not notified about in this case, which is kind of weird. And then the guy was embalmed three days later, so the coroner didn't find out about this for three weeks and then had to do an autopsy on an embombed body. What is the difference between that and a regular body.

So I've done a couple autopsies on in bomb bodies and it just it kind of isn't the same. So when they do embalming, they have to inject formel the hyde kind of liquid into the body. That preserves the body so it no longer decomposes. So normally, let's say, let's just use my uncle as an example who just died. He died in the beginning of the week, and then we went to his funeral, what four or five days later, he had a viewing and he was out in room

temperature of viewing, and he looked still to be alive. Right. The only way that you can do that is by embalming people, because if you just put a person four days later outside in room temperature, they would be green and bloated and decomposing and smell terrible. Right, So that's

the point of doing the embalming. But the way to get the fluid into the body sometimes can cause trauma to the body just between getting it into the vascular system, and sometimes they use instruments to kind of stab the abdominal organs to just get more of that fluid into their So it gives what we would call artifact at autopsy, which means it looks like a person has all these stab wounds, but they're really just from the embalming, right. So that's one aspect of it, and the other aspect

is the fluid itself. Gives an artificial appearance to the tissues too, because now they're being fixed or embalmed, and they don't look the same. They don't look like a fresh heart would look. They look almost cooked, which is kind of gross, but they just give the organs more

of like a gray appearance. And it's possible to do an autopsy, and you certainly can see certain things, but when that fluid's flushing through the circular to system, it could push out something like a pulmonary embolism, which would be easy for us to see and determine it was a cause of a patient's death. So there's all these different things that it's not ideal, but we can do it.

So obviously it's not recommended to do that before it's not recommended, but like let me tell you, for example, one case I did this guy that I did an autopsy on once. He was diving in another country and he was from here. He was on vacation. He was diving on another country and he died and they wanted to see if his cause of death was due to decompression sickness, which is something that could happen when you're

diving if you're not doing things the proper way. So he was all the way in a foreign country, and they wanted the autopsy to be done in Philadelphia, so they had to embomb him before they sent him over to us. There was like no way around it. But yes, in a normal situation, would you would really just advise against that. Yeah, all right. So finally they're doing the autopsy, and then what do they see? So they take out

his larynx, which is your your voice box. It's like if you put your hand around your throat and you feel in a male, you'll feel the thyroid cartilage, but you could feel those little like rings underneath. That's your larynx and that's where your voice box is. And that's also where the tube that goes to your lungs is. And then behind that is the tube that goes down to your stomach. So they take this out to examine it, and they found a raw egg embedded in his windpipe.

I have I haven't any questions about that. At first, when I was reading it, I thought they meant like a hard boiled egg, and I'm like, that's kind of, you know, a hard style to like eat a hard boiled egg hole, But then I realized it was the raw eggs. So I'm like, in what circumstance would you ever just put a whole egg in your mouth? Well you wouldn't unless somebody put it in for you, Yeah, which is kind of like like all right, So like later they figured out he was doing, you know, some

some drug trafficking. He was working with drugs, And even if this was a sign from a gang, it's just kind of really unusual. It is. It's kind of like skillful like that you can get that down with. I mean, it was cracked a little bit, so it is possible that it cracked while it was going down there. They I don't they They determined that his cause of death

was from asphyxio. So that's what killed them, right, Yeah, so you're saying means that they didn't they didn't see any other Like he didn't get shot, and then they stuck an egg down his throat, you know what I mean? Like this was what killed them. Yeah, Like this guy was alive. They took an egg and stuffed it in his throat and then he died because of that. That also just seems like an absolutely horrific way to die.

Oh yeah, totally one really cool thing from a scientific perspective that was cool about this case, and the pictures are cool looking. Although they could tell that the egg was put in raw because there was still some like runny oak yolk and stuff, there were portions of the egg that appeared to be kind of cooked on the outside. And the reason for this is because if you think about it, when you put the embalming fluid inside of

a body, it preserves the tissues and it hardens the tissues. Well, the same thing would happen with an egg because that's also animal material. So it kind of gave that cooked, embalmed appearance on the outside of the egg, which was really interesting. Wow, that really is no that I don't know. That's something I that's one of those things that you just say, guess, never think you would see on the job, right, Yeah.

I mean that's the coolest part about doing autopsy because I think even if you talk to someone that's done thousands and they've been in the field for fifty years, they always can just be shocked walking in. It's just there's always something there's just always something that could be a potential, you know what I mean, And it's just it's really it makes that's what makes this job so interesting. You just I mean, we could talk about these stories

for years. They just they you know, we'll never hear this again, but there'll be something else even crazier, right, Yeah, all right, This next one is you don't see this every day. So one of our grocery members worked at an inner city hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She commutes to work on a bus that goes through some rough neighborhoods

with some drug problems. So when she got off the bus one day, she started walking and spotted something really unusual sitting on the ground next to two hypodermic needles. So what did she think this was? Before confirming you later, So she saw these hypodermic needles filled with blood, which was kind of weird, on the ground and saw this thing and was like, what is that? And she went closer to it, and she was like, this looks like a mammified human finger. I don't know. I guess because

you work at a hospital, you would notice that. My mind would immediately go to like that's a Halloween prop or something that fell. And maybe in a normal circumstance you would see that. But if you tall, if you saw two syringes that were filled with red blood, and you'd be like, Okay, what's happening here? Like this might be something a little bit more extra. Let me tell you, if I saw two needles filled with blood, how I'd be leaving that scene quicker than anything. There's no way

I'd be hanging around to investigate. But she worked a thirteen hour shift at her job, didn't forget about this obviously, and then went back with gloves and picked it up to examine it some more and verified, in fact, it was a mummified human finger. How did it get there? She's better than me, because I think I would have just picked it up right then and there. Ew Like, I just don't I don't care, Like I just don't

ski if I'll just like wash my hands afterwards. It's just I just saw, like my nephew was showing me a fox, a dead fox in his backyard the other day, and I just picked it up off the ground. I just don't care anyway. Yeah, she went back with gloves, and she took some really great pictures of this, by the way, and sure enough, it is a human finger, complete with all three bones, and it has mummified tissue around it, so it looks kind of like you would see a skeleton finger, but it has a little bit

of soft tissue attached to it. And the only thing I could think is, especially because we live near an area like that that has a lot of drugs and a lot of just people living on the street in terrible conditions, I see a lot of videos and things of this of people who inject and then they all of a sudden they get gangreene somewhere like on their toes or on their fingers, And when you don't go to the hospital and take care of that, it could become infectious and can get really bad. But the body

does something called auto amputate. And I'm suspecting that that's what happened here, That this person had this this finger that was gangrenous and it just stayed on there and it continued to mummify, and eventually it just fell off. And it so happened to be where people were shooting up over there. Yet did this happened with was that the story with the leg on the train tracks that you were saying, it was this same like auto imputation

just slid right up. Now that's what remember, That was the only explanation that I had, and I believe somebody told us a few weeks later that there was like a motorcycle accident or something, and yeah, there was like something weird with it. But this happened to me. So one time, I when I was working in the hospital, I got a specimen from the er and it was a mummified toe, right mm hmm. And I was like,

so think about this. If you have gangreen, you're going to go to the hospital and get surgery to get it cut off. So why was I getting it from the emergency room. So I so happened to run into somebody I knew down there the next day and I was like, Yo, what's up with the toe. She's like, dude, you don't even know. This guy came in. He had his foot wrapped up. It was all in gauze. I unwrapped a gauze and his toe just rolled out on

the floor. And I was like, oh my god. So that would explain, like, you know, you don't even need surgery. It's a cheaper way to do stuff. But yeah, it just fell on the floor. They put it in a cup and sent it up to pathology, but yeah, just just put it in a cup. And pull it up. Yeah, exactly, all right. Our last story was also submitted by a listener. So our listener and her nineteen year old daughter were driving along the nine to sixty nine freeway in Warren, Michigan.

So as they approached this overpass. You know, I'm sure they're not really looking up, but all of a sudden, this naked guy drops from the overpass right in front of their car. They had to swerve to avoid hitting him. Thankfully, they weren't hurt in the process. Could you imagine that, just like I mean, one time we were driving to Cape Cod with momm and a frickin pit bull was in the highway for some reason, and that scared the shit out of me. I didn't want to hit the dog.

I didn't want to, And then I didn't want to swerve either because I was You know, that's how these pile up horrible car accidents happened. And just imagine you're just chilling with your daughter, having a nice night, and all of a sudden, just like this, this naked human just falls from an overpass in front of you. Well, actually the worst part of this is it happened at like ten o'clock in the morning, so on a Saturday, so it's probably like, you know, I was picturing us

when I was that age. You know, we would be just like all right, let's go to Duncan, let's go to Home Goods, and like just have a nice day, go to the craft store, get something to do. And then we're just starting off our day and all of a sudden, this naked guy falls out of the sky. You're like, what the fuck is happening right now? Thank god they didn't get hurt. I was thinking about how scary that m to try to swerve to avoid missing a whole person that pitble that was on the highway.

I remember this was when we went to Boston, so there was a really weird patch of highway on the way home where there was houses and there was just normal like chain link fences along the highway, and I definitely don't think it was high enough. So the dog was very easily able to clear the fence and then run on the highway. But well, I remember I had to pull over and breathe because I was in fight or flights so hard. I was like, how can I drive right now? Like it was so rattling. Yeah, so

they said they both screamed at the top of their lungs. Obviously, I would be really messed up about this. The daughter called nine one one, and then she said that she didn't know if he had been hit or what had happened, but the news link that she sent with her email said that he had been hit by oncoming traffic going up to seventy miles an hour. That must have been horrible. That person that hit him, is he very well could have died from impact from that fall? Yeah, you know

what I mean. I mean, think about how high that is. There's a clearance for trucks. I mean, it's pretty high to jump from that high up. And yeah, and if he survived it, he sure exactly like he got slammed. And I just can't even imagine. It's not fair to the innocent people that are just driving. Even though you know it's not your fault, you still don't want to be responsible for killing a person, you know what I mean.

So let's say, I'm just curious if he jumped and died from the fall, but then within seconds got hit by a car, would they be able to tell which

one killed him. I don't really, I don't know, because if he I would say probably not, because even if he fell and he died really as a result of that, let's say he had the traumatic brain injury, if he got hit two seconds later, just I don't really know how they would because you would still see the bleeding on the wounds, and how could you determine which one was from the fall versus getting hit at seventy miles an hour by multiple cars in a row and smeared

across the highway. I'm just not sure unless they had some kind of surveillance film that he fell and they saw him like get up halfway and then he got hit. But I mean, at that point does it matter? No, I was just curious. Yeah, I would say no, probably. Well, thank you to those who submitted their shocking story.
