Speaker 1: Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk.
Speaker 2: Hi everyone walk on The Mother Knows Death. Let's get
Speaker 2: into the six shocking stories this week. Are we ever
Speaker 2: going to be able to say that fast? No, it's
Speaker 2: a terrible decision. What were we thinking coming up with
Speaker 2: this name? So a lot of our audience is female,
Speaker 2: so I know a lot of you are going to
Speaker 2: resonate this with, you know, having kids and stuff. So
Speaker 2: we have to think about sending your kids to daycare
Speaker 2: and how frequently you get calls that something happened to
Speaker 2: your kid. I know from you know, being around you
Speaker 2: and having the girls, that this happened to you a lot.
Speaker 2: I mean, it still kind of happens all the time. God,
Speaker 2: the school nurse calls or they're just brutal all the time.
Speaker 2: It's just like, oh, Leanne said her arm hurts, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, what do you want me to do
Speaker 2: about it right now? Does she need to go to
Speaker 2: the hospital? Like whatever? So, yeah, I've gotten millions of
Speaker 2: calls over dumb shit, but sometimes it's not dumb shit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so in this case, it wasn't quite dumb. So they
Speaker 2: tell this lady that her one month or her one
Speaker 2: year old son got glue in his eyes. So she's
Speaker 2: like making the assumption, you know what's out of daycare
Speaker 2: or preschool or school, right, like Elmer's glue, those purple
Speaker 2: glue sticks whatever, Right, So they're like, we're bringing the
Speaker 2: baby to the hospital. So she gets to the hospital
Speaker 2: and there they find out that they're super glue in
Speaker 2: the kid's eye, Like why are children even having access
Speaker 2: to super glue? So what happened was that the daycare
Speaker 2: worker was she had acrylic nails, which is another thing
Speaker 2: we could talk about because I don't think you're supposed
Speaker 2: to have acrylic nows working in the daycare center because
Speaker 2: of the bacteria that they could transfer to the kids.
Speaker 2: But that's a side note. Anyway, she had acrylic nails
Speaker 2: and one of them broke, so she used super glue
Speaker 2: or noil glue to glue her now back on, and
Speaker 2: she was giving the kid eye drops and accidentally put
Speaker 2: super glue in his eye instead of the eye drops.
Speaker 2: So luckily, the kid shot his eye really fast and
Speaker 2: it just glued his eyelashes together. This actually happened like
Speaker 2: two years ago. Lisa Barlow, my favorite housewife, was supposed
Speaker 2: to be on Watch What Happens Live, and an hour
Speaker 2: before they were like, oh, she can't come on because
Speaker 2: she had been in her bathroom and she reached to
Speaker 2: grab eye drops and it was it was like eyelash
Speaker 2: glue that she accidentally put in her eye and had
Speaker 2: to go to the er. So I think this happens
Speaker 2: really often. And the bottles, if you look at them,
Speaker 2: are always shaped so similarly. Yeah, this happened to me
Speaker 2: actually one time when I was back in my old life,
Speaker 2: when I was working at a hair salon doing nails
Speaker 2: and I was trying to the lid was clogged, so
Speaker 2: I was trying to unclog the lid and it popped
Speaker 2: off and the glue flew in my eye and luckily
Speaker 2: I shut my eye quick enough too that my eye,
Speaker 2: but my eyelashes one hundred percent were glued together. There
Speaker 2: was like no getting them open, and of course it
Speaker 2: was a Saturday. I had to go to some special ophthalmologist.
Speaker 2: Thank god, somebody that worked there knew somebody to make
Speaker 2: a call. And when I went there, he had to
Speaker 2: cut off my eyelashes because they were there was no
Speaker 2: getting them open make to grow back. I don't e.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't really remember. I was just kind
Speaker 2: of like, this is the least of my problems right now,
Speaker 2: because I seriously thought because when my eye was glued shot,
Speaker 2: I couldn't see, so I was scared to death that
Speaker 2: I ruined my vision. So I was just happy with
Speaker 2: having a little cosmetic issue, you know, to deal with.
Speaker 2: And I was only a teenager. But in this story too.
Speaker 2: So this post in the grosser room is called ointment,
Speaker 2: super Glue, and Bible. And the reason that that is
Speaker 2: the title of this post is because when we were
Speaker 2: talking about this kid at the daycare center, I also
Speaker 2: came across a case that had that's a woman that
Speaker 2: was in a similar situation. She had she was having
Speaker 2: eye redness and she had to her eye drops on
Speaker 2: the nightstand, and she woke up in the middle of
Speaker 2: the night like shit, I forgot to put my eye
Speaker 2: drops in and got her phone out and used the
Speaker 2: light the flashlight on the phone to look at it
Speaker 2: and thought she grabbed the right thing, and all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, she quickly realized that she put super glue
Speaker 2: into her eye, and in this case, she thought that
Speaker 2: they were eye drops, so she really squirted it in
Speaker 2: her eye and it got into her eye. So she
Speaker 2: went to the hospital and they decided to send her
Speaker 2: to an eye specialist, which we did. We talked about
Speaker 2: last week, like if you ever go to hospital with
Speaker 2: eye issues, it's always better that the eye specialist looks
Speaker 2: at it. And she actually did have damage to her eye.
Speaker 2: She got a cornial ulcer and it did affect her
Speaker 2: vision for a little while. But one of the things
Speaker 2: is is that once she put the glue into her eye,
Speaker 2: she went in the bathroom immediately and tried to flush
Speaker 2: it out. And the people, the doctors are saying that
Speaker 2: this actually helped her out because when you wet the glue,
Speaker 2: it's it could prevent the bond from being so strong.
Speaker 2: And perhaps she actually saved her vision because she did
Speaker 2: that immediately. So that's if this ever happens to anyone,
Speaker 2: put water on it right away. Let me tell you
Speaker 2: how I could see this happening to me, because even
Speaker 2: though I've lived in my house for three years, my
Speaker 2: husband just seems to not know where anything goes in
Speaker 2: the house ever, and it is my number one pet
Speaker 2: peeve with him. It's like all husbands everywhere. I mean,
Speaker 2: I just yelled at him over the weekend because I
Speaker 2: normally emptied the dishwasher and he was trying to be
Speaker 2: nice and did it, so I really wasn't trying to
Speaker 2: like fuss his balls about it, but he just never
Speaker 2: puts anything back where it goes, and I'm like, dude,
Speaker 2: how long have you lived in this house? Everything goes
Speaker 2: in the same spot. But I could see him putting,
Speaker 2: you know, glue or something, just not knowing what it is.
Speaker 2: In my medicine cabinet. I have really horrible vision, so
Speaker 2: you know, if I don't have my glasses or my contacts,
Speaker 2: and I could very easily see myself grabbing it, and
Speaker 2: this's happening to me. So yeah, I specifically leave all
Speaker 2: of my now stuff in a totally separate area of
Speaker 2: the house. I would never ever just like and when
Speaker 2: I have super glue, like gorilla glue or something that
Speaker 2: I use for crafts, and that's in the craft drawer, Like,
Speaker 2: I just would never ever have that anywhere near medical stuff.
Speaker 2: It's just really scary. And maybe that's why, like gorilla
Speaker 2: glue is like bright orange container because it can never
Speaker 2: be eye drops. I never I have seen the nail
Speaker 2: glue in a similar thing to an eye drop actually,
Speaker 2: so you could see how it happens. It just it
Speaker 2: is scary. And imagine being a mom and getting that
Speaker 2: phone call. I would I would have thought Elmer's glue too. Oh,
Speaker 2: the kid was making me a project in glueing postera
Speaker 2: or caught in balls to construction paper like you. The
Speaker 2: kid closed his eye really quick, so it just was
Speaker 2: like pretty much on the surface, he's fine and everything,
Speaker 2: and god, he's a kid, because the kids are like, no,
Speaker 2: don't put this in my eye. It's the worst thing out. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's probably like the one time it's okay for a
Speaker 2: child to have a temper to hit something going in
Speaker 2: their eye because it ended up saving them. But that's
Speaker 2: good to know, all right. So this next one, so
Speaker 2: let's take it back a couple of years to probably
Speaker 2: the worst time ever, which was COVID, which you know,
Speaker 2: everybody was in their house and going crazy, and then
Speaker 2: there was all these issues going on with like medical
Speaker 2: care and treatment. So this guy back in the nineties,
Speaker 2: he used in his thirties, he had squeams cell carcinoma.
Speaker 2: It was on his face, right, Yeah, it's it's and
Speaker 2: it's one of the skin cancers we will we always
Speaker 2: think I'm melanoma when we think of skin cancer, but
Speaker 2: you could get Merkle cell carcinoma, Squeams cell carcinoma, basil
Speaker 2: cell carcinoma. So it's just a type of skin cancer.
Speaker 2: So this guy has it on his face in the nineties,
Speaker 2: gets it taken care of, everything seeming fine. This is
Speaker 2: in the nineties, So fast forward to twenty twenty. He
Speaker 2: notices this nickel sized mask growing on his forehead and
Speaker 2: at this time, COVID was going on and they were
Speaker 2: being the way they were in the hospitals and didn't
Speaker 2: want to take him in because they didn't consider this
Speaker 2: to be a life threatening condition or a life saving surgery,
Speaker 2: even though he had a history of it. Which as
Speaker 2: a medical professional, do you think that's crazy that he
Speaker 2: had a history and they wouldn't even see him. I
Speaker 2: think the whole way that COVID was handled was absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, this is just a problem for
Speaker 2: people that weren't even getting screenings or anything. And we've here,
Speaker 2: we have a couple stories like this in the gross
Speaker 2: room of people that had something that didn't get checked
Speaker 2: out because it wasn't considered an emergency surgery because this
Speaker 2: wouldn't be considered an emergency. His life wasn't immediately at
Speaker 2: stake and it so what would you do in that situation?
Speaker 2: So you have a history of cancer when you're young, right,
Speaker 2: and you know that when you got it removed, you
Speaker 2: survived another thirty years, So what would you do. So,
Speaker 2: like this post is called desperate times, called for desperate measures,
Speaker 2: this guy was like, I don't want to go through
Speaker 2: this again because the first time around it ended up
Speaker 2: saving me, and now I'm in my sixties. So he
Speaker 2: tried to cut it off himself. So he did. He
Speaker 2: cut it off himself with a knife, and it seemingly
Speaker 2: went well at first, and it was bleeding a lot,
Speaker 2: but it healed up, and then then it shit started
Speaker 2: going down. It phil really fait. So then it starts
Speaker 2: growing back, this time more rapidly. He tries cutting it
Speaker 2: off again, but there's like a lot of blood second
Speaker 2: time around, so he's like, okay, you know, I'll stop
Speaker 2: messing with it, right, And then of course it just
Speaker 2: keeps growing and growing and growing more rapidly. This is
Speaker 2: all going on over the course of a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: So this thing starts encompassing his face right to the
Speaker 2: point where he came. Can't see out of his eye
Speaker 2: because it's covering his eye. He falls down on the
Speaker 2: ground and the thing starts bleeding all over the place.
Speaker 2: He finally goes to the hospital, now still during COVID time,
Speaker 2: but now it's considered a life threatening emergency because when
Speaker 2: he gets his blood work done, his hemoglobin was only five,
Speaker 2: which normally in a man it's thirteen to seventeen. And
Speaker 2: this means so the hemoglobin on the blood cells is
Speaker 2: what brings the oxygen you breathe in to all of
Speaker 2: your organs, and that wasn't working well because he was
Speaker 2: so in neat. That's called being anemic. And now he
Speaker 2: could get treated because it's considered a life threatening emergency.
Speaker 2: So when they examined him, this mass was eight inches wide.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't want to take you're doing this
Speaker 2: thing justice, Like, let's think of it. It encompasses, yeah,
Speaker 2: like like you're all right. So when we started saying
Speaker 2: this story, he said it was the size of a nickel,
Speaker 2: which is like zero point eight three five inches, right,
Speaker 2: so it's not even a full inch within weeks, this
Speaker 2: thing gets eight inches on his face, Like, think about that.
Speaker 2: It's his entire face. Yes, so he it's covering his eye,
Speaker 2: it's covering his forehead, it's covering his It's just it's huge,
Speaker 2: eight inches wide. I can't even think of, like, what's
Speaker 2: that wide, but like a personal sized pan pizza, right, Like,
Speaker 2: it's huge on his face. And on top of that,
Speaker 2: it's smelled terrible. It looks like it smells terrible. I
Speaker 2: can't even imagine. So what happens is when you have
Speaker 2: a tumor that's growing, especially one that's growing so fast,
Speaker 2: the blood supply that is feeding the tumor can't keep
Speaker 2: up with this rapid growth, and then parts of the
Speaker 2: tumor could die off. It's called the crosis, and it's
Speaker 2: it smells like meat and that you would leave out
Speaker 2: on the countertop for five days. It's rotten meat, basically,
Speaker 2: that's what it smells like. And luckily when they ended
Speaker 2: up examining it and giving him imaging and stuff, it
Speaker 2: wasn't involved with his eye, so it just was growing
Speaker 2: over his eye, but it didn't involve his eye, so
Speaker 2: he didn't lose his vision in that way. It just
Speaker 2: was covering it like a big shadow over his eye,
Speaker 2: you know. And luckily also that he didn't have it
Speaker 2: spread to anywhere in his body, so it just was
Speaker 2: a localized reaction. But gee, is how scary. I don't
Speaker 2: know even after removing that that he'll ever look normal again.
Speaker 2: It's the most frustrating part of this was it was
Speaker 2: completely preventable. I mean, he knew he had the history
Speaker 2: of the cancer, he saw the thing growing on his forehead,
Speaker 2: he immediately tried to take steps to fix it, just
Speaker 2: to be blown off. It is so ridiculous. We'll add
Speaker 2: this to the list. I mean, this happened to a
Speaker 2: lot of people, and we saw afterwards of people not
Speaker 2: getting and not taking care of things. There's I understand,
Speaker 2: not doing elective surgeries, like if you want to get
Speaker 2: your boobs done, completely understandable during COVID time, but like
Speaker 2: things like this, no, especially that we know that thing
Speaker 2: was cancer, he had a history of cancer. It's it's
Speaker 2: kind of it's it's malpractice honestly in my opinion. And
Speaker 2: this guy he should he should really consider that when
Speaker 2: talking about this hospital that wouldn't treat him the first time,
Speaker 2: because like, it's so scary you. You can't do it yourself,
Speaker 2: you have you depend on them. And there was nowhere,
Speaker 2: not even in his area he was living in, in
Speaker 2: the country, if not the world, that you could have
Speaker 2: gotten to taken care of for months. So I understand
Speaker 2: why he did it. I don't think that he was
Speaker 2: totally outrageous for doing something like that. Honestly, do you
Speaker 2: think if he didn't try to cut it off himself
Speaker 2: that it would have grown? It would have continued to
Speaker 2: grow so rapidly? Like do you think him cutting it
Speaker 2: and irritated it worse? Yeah, he made it angry, for sure.
Speaker 2: I think that it eventually it would have grown faster,
Speaker 2: you know, Yeah, it would have, but not like that.
Speaker 2: But now can you blame him for doing it? I mean,
Speaker 2: he was trying to take all the right steps and
Speaker 2: being blown off. So it's like, what are you supposed
Speaker 2: to do? Yeah, and you don't really realize, Like surgeons
Speaker 2: are super important people that do very meticulous jobs, and
Speaker 2: they take out cancer in a certain way not to
Speaker 2: leave any of it left in the body. So when
Speaker 2: he cut it off, especially if it was a like
Speaker 2: a polypy lesion or something that was like kind of
Speaker 2: hanging off of his head. When he cut it off,
Speaker 2: he left the base of it on and that just
Speaker 2: think about. It's not exactly the same mechanism. But you
Speaker 2: know when you have let's say you have a plant
Speaker 2: and you cut off, it's a similar mechanism. Though, when
Speaker 2: you cut off the dead flowers, like what happens. They
Speaker 2: grow back and they grow back bigger and stronger, and
Speaker 2: like that's insane kind of you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: It's the same kind of thing. So so, yeah, poor guy,
Speaker 2: but at least it wasn't spread, so he's just deformed,
Speaker 2: not gonna die, all right. Well, this next one's called
Speaker 2: beans No Frank, So this is gonna be an interesting journey.
Speaker 2: So a thirty five year old guy gets shot, goes
Speaker 2: to the hospital. He has injuries to the chest and arm,
Speaker 2: and otherwise he's considered a healthy person. So get into
Speaker 2: what happens next. So he was shot with a shotgun,
Speaker 2: which is a little bit different than getting shot with
Speaker 2: a handgun or something. The ammunition's a little bit different,
Speaker 2: and it's a shell casing that is filled with little
Speaker 2: pellets called buckshot and or bird shot, whichever one you use.
Speaker 2: That just depends on the size of the pellets, and
Speaker 2: when he got shot, one of the pellets nicked his
Speaker 2: brachial artery, which is the artery in your arm, and
Speaker 2: when that happened, he started having a problem with the
Speaker 2: clotting of his blood. He had surgery to repair it,
Speaker 2: but he was having a blood clotting problem after the
Speaker 2: blood loss and everything, and they put him on blood thinners.
Speaker 2: And blood thinners are miracle drugs that prevent you from
Speaker 2: having crazy blood clots and things like that, but they're
Speaker 2: also very risky drugs to use because they can cause
Speaker 2: patients a lot of problems. And even though these drugs
Speaker 2: are supposed to stop your blood from clotting, sometimes it
Speaker 2: could have the opposite effect and cause your blood to clot.
Speaker 2: And if you stop taking them and they're not weaned
Speaker 2: off properly, you could also start to clot your body
Speaker 2: kind of is just like making up for it. So
Speaker 2: what happened was this is just kind of an absolute
Speaker 2: crazy story of this guy who was young and healthy
Speaker 2: and got shot and shit just started going downhill for
Speaker 2: him so bad. So what happened was the blood when
Speaker 2: it affects the blood flow and the blood starts clotting,
Speaker 2: it's guarded slowing down the blood flow to his penis,
Speaker 2: but it was going in enough that he got this
Speaker 2: prolonged erection, and the veins that are supposed to take
Speaker 2: the blood from the erection out of the to make
Speaker 2: the penis deflate again were also clodding, so the blood
Speaker 2: was stuck inside of his penis and he had something
Speaker 2: called priapism, which is a prolonged erection. So he went
Speaker 2: to the hospital and by the time he went to
Speaker 2: the hospital to just get that checked out, his penis
Speaker 2: was showing signs that it was dying or necrosis, like
Speaker 2: the color looked off and it looked like it wasn't
Speaker 2: getting enough oxygen and it wasn't losing the blood, and
Speaker 2: when they went in to take out the blood, it
Speaker 2: was all clouded, and that's how they figured out that
Speaker 2: he was having a problem with this anti coagulation or
Speaker 2: anti clotting medication that he was taking. So this is
Speaker 2: just terrible, but they weren't able to save his penis
Speaker 2: at all. They had to putatius penis, and on top
Speaker 2: of that, sometimes if they have to amputate the penis,
Speaker 2: like if just the head is dead, they could leave
Speaker 2: a little stump for the urethra, because that's how a
Speaker 2: man urinates as well, And they weren't able to save
Speaker 2: any of the penis, and they had to reroute his
Speaker 2: urethra kind of underneath of his testicles, so he could
Speaker 2: now urinate like a woman. So he has to sit
Speaker 2: on so he has no penis thirty five years old,
Speaker 2: no penis, has to sit down on the toilet now
Speaker 2: to go to the bathroom. And then, to make matters
Speaker 2: even worse, he had to get his arm amputated because
Speaker 2: of the damage the from the shotgun wound. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just I was mind blown reading this. How you know,
Speaker 2: he gets shot in the upper side of his body
Speaker 2: and then ends up having to get his penis amputated
Speaker 2: as a result of this. Like, is this something that's
Speaker 2: seen often? Er? Is this considered rare? Prob It's probably
Speaker 2: more rare. I would say, I actually did get a
Speaker 2: penis amputation for a similar not because of the not
Speaker 2: because of the anti coagulation medication, but actually because of
Speaker 2: a prolonged erection caused by erectile dysfunction drugs. Interesting and yeah,
Speaker 2: and the same thing happened to the guy and they
Speaker 2: just couldn't save it. And it's it's not common, but
Speaker 2: it's happened, and people one of my one of my
Speaker 2: friend's husbands was on anti coagulants and fell and hit
Speaker 2: his head and he had a serious brain bleed because
Speaker 2: of it and was really really sick for a long
Speaker 2: time in the hospital. So there are and that's something
Speaker 2: you need to be careful of if you're on drugs
Speaker 2: like that, because sometimes if you have a small injury,
Speaker 2: you know, like let's say you fall and hit your
Speaker 2: head right young you're not on any of these medications.
Speaker 2: If you rupture a little vessel in your brain, like
Speaker 2: you'll live, yeah, you know what I mean, Like it
Speaker 2: might just resolve itself because your blood clots and like
Speaker 2: kind of plugs up the hole. But and the case
Speaker 2: with my friend, it just it put a hole in
Speaker 2: one of the vessels in his brain when he fell,
Speaker 2: and it just kept leaking and leaking and leaking, and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden he got a terrible headache
Speaker 2: and had to be rushed to the hospital. And he
Speaker 2: was a young guy too, so but but then again,
Speaker 2: when you're talking about this, they had to give him
Speaker 2: those medications to save his life. So it's kind of
Speaker 2: like it's not like he was just taking it frivolously,
Speaker 2: like he had a reason and medications have side effects
Speaker 2: and this is a terrible story for him. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2: This episode is brought to you by the Gross Room. Guys,
Speaker 2: you have to join the Gross Room, especially because of
Speaker 2: my upcoming post with leeches, because they are so gnarly
Speaker 2: and one of the stories is so outrageous. I can't
Speaker 2: even explain it to you. You just think, like, how
Speaker 2: the hell does this shit happen to humans? And I
Speaker 2: always have had questions my entire life about this kind
Speaker 2: of stuff, Like you hear stories all the time and
Speaker 2: you just want to know what all this looks like.
Speaker 2: So if you have the same kind of curiosity that
Speaker 2: I do, and all the members of the Grossroom, do
Speaker 2: definitely check it out because we always have pictures to
Speaker 2: go with these crazy stories. You can visit the grossroom
Speaker 2: dot com for more info and to sign up join today.
Speaker 2: All right, so we're always talking about rectal foreign bodies,
Speaker 2: but let's get into this particularly eerie story about a
Speaker 2: foreign vaginal body. Yeah, so I've gotten these before, not
Speaker 2: this particular one, but got vaginal foreign bodies before in
Speaker 2: surgical pathology usually really old tampons that have been in
Speaker 2: there for god knows how long and they smell terrible.
Speaker 2: But in this case, this patient used a treatment called
Speaker 2: the Yannie pearls. So Yannie pearls are like essentially these
Speaker 2: tea bags that you like stick up your cucci to
Speaker 2: like try to pull toxins out. And they they they've
Speaker 2: been viral on like TikTok and stuff that. Yeah, they
Speaker 2: they claim that they pull toxins out and then make
Speaker 2: your vaginas smell good or what and what do we
Speaker 2: always say on here, If it's a trend on TikTok,
Speaker 2: it's probably not a good idea. So let's exactly think
Speaker 2: about this. And you're always trying to push the narrative,
Speaker 2: like it's like just let a vagina smell like a vagina. Well,
Speaker 2: a vagina is like a self cleaning ofn it just
Speaker 2: you don't need to. When you start messing with the
Speaker 2: balance of it, that's when you have problems because you
Speaker 2: don't want to change the pH You don't because then
Speaker 2: that could change. You know, you have healthy bacteria that
Speaker 2: are in your vagina that keep the yeast away so
Speaker 2: and the bad bacteria away so when that healthy bacteria
Speaker 2: goes away, then all of a sudden, that stuff overgrows.
Speaker 2: And so if you think that it smelled bad, when
Speaker 2: you get rid of that stuff it smells, it'll smell
Speaker 2: even worse because then you still overgrow and like you
Speaker 2: could get back to your ol vaginosis and things like that.
Speaker 2: So you should That's why you shouldn't douche. Yeah, So
Speaker 2: it's just it's not good for you. So to describe
Speaker 2: this particular scene going on, it's like it it looks
Speaker 2: like which is why you named the article this vaginal nest.
Speaker 2: It literally looks like this, like nest with vaginal mucus
Speaker 2: and like spider arms coming out. Like I literally stared
Speaker 2: at this picture for two hours yesterday trying to figure
Speaker 2: out what was going on. It is, It doesn't It
Speaker 2: doesn't look like if you ripped open a tea bagh.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, what the hell is? It literally looks like, yeah,
Speaker 2: like a tea bag with like branches and arms coming
Speaker 2: out of the sides. I cannot understand what possibly happened. Wait,
Speaker 2: so this is actually the best part of the story.
Speaker 2: So I posted this on I might have posted it, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I posted it on Instagram, and of course I just
Speaker 2: put like, oh this, You'll never believe where this came
Speaker 2: from or something. And I got like a lot of
Speaker 2: site traffic that day. And when people read the story
Speaker 2: and found out that it was from Yannie Pearls, they like,
Speaker 2: google Yanni Pearls and look at the website. Right. So
Speaker 2: I get an email. Do you remember I remember I
Speaker 2: was about to tell you this? So I get an
Speaker 2: email from Yannie Pearls saying like, hey, we noticed a
Speaker 2: lot of traffic on our website yesterday that came from
Speaker 2: your website. Would you be interested in us being one
Speaker 2: of your sponsors or something? And I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I would never ever recommend your product to somebody. Please, yeah,
Speaker 2: because I guess it was great. It's because the gross
Speaker 2: room's like behind a paywall. They couldn't get into see.
Speaker 2: A couple people left the link to them in the
Speaker 2: comments section, so they were seeing on their insights that
Speaker 2: a lot of traffic was coming to their website from ours,
Speaker 2: but they couldn't see what the post was about. So
Speaker 2: I guess they just made the broad assumption that we
Speaker 2: were promoting the products, but we were actually showing this
Speaker 2: horrific case of this this girl that used them and
Speaker 2: I don't know, I thought it was so I had
Speaker 2: people weren't good, Like did that did that? Like did
Speaker 2: they have good seals that night? Because that's weird if
Speaker 2: if someone hope not, Yeah, that's that's just so. If
Speaker 2: you saw the picture of this, there is no way
Speaker 2: in the world you would be like rushing to buy it.
Speaker 2: I just cannot understand who would be running to go
Speaker 2: purchase stuff from there. Yeah, it's not like this round
Speaker 2: tea bag thing. It's it just looks it just looks
Speaker 2: like someone went outside and grabbed like a bunch of
Speaker 2: hay like and sticks from the forest and like shoved
Speaker 2: it up there. It looks like you took a mesh
Speaker 2: onion bag and a bunch of hay in it and
Speaker 2: then stuffed it up your inside yourself and then left
Speaker 2: it there for a week and pulled it out. It
Speaker 2: is it is so vile. It is one of the
Speaker 2: worst pictures in my opinion, we have in the gross room. Well,
Speaker 2: imagine getting that as a PA and having to to
Speaker 2: describe that, you know, when we can do you even
Speaker 2: know what it is? No, but it doesn't matter because
Speaker 2: we have to do a report on every single thing
Speaker 2: that we get, and we so the pathologist knows like
Speaker 2: what we're looking at. So I would just describe it
Speaker 2: as like an aggregate ball of woody material with mucus
Speaker 2: attached or something, and measure it and and and that's it.
Speaker 2: But I think that in this particular case that the
Speaker 2: emergency room let them know that they they know that
Speaker 2: it was from a Yannie pearl, because sometimes they do
Speaker 2: give us history. So if I got it, I wouldn't know.
Speaker 2: But I'm trying to imagine what led to this, Like
Speaker 2: I don't really I don't really know necessarily about like
Speaker 2: how long you're supposed to use these things, but did
Speaker 2: the person leave it up too long and it got
Speaker 2: stuck or like for they having irritation, Like I just
Speaker 2: don't even understand the circumstance of which it ended up
Speaker 2: on like your guy's disk, you know, Well, it's the
Speaker 2: same as a tampon, though it's like you put it
Speaker 2: up there, you forget about it, and then you have
Speaker 2: sex and then it like jams it up there even further.
Speaker 2: I mean it there's a if you have a uterus,
Speaker 2: there's a point that it can't go up any further.
Speaker 2: So it's but there's like little pockets next to your cervix,
Speaker 2: the things can get lost uff there. It's like and
Speaker 2: I that's that's probably what happened, like and she just
Speaker 2: thought she you know, tampons are more common because you
Speaker 2: use so many in a month and you thought you
Speaker 2: took it out and you didn't. It was the middle
Speaker 2: of the night, whatever it was, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And that's how people forget and it gets jammed all
Speaker 2: the way up in there. And like for us, I
Speaker 2: always say, like when not right now, because I'm like
Speaker 2: going through it. But when I did use tampons all
Speaker 2: the time, I used those like dildo size ones because
Speaker 2: I used to bleed so bad. So thinking about one
Speaker 2: of those getting stuck up there is like no, because
Speaker 2: there's there's a presence that you always can feel. But
Speaker 2: some of these like small little girls that have these
Speaker 2: like low flows, use these tampons that are the thickness
Speaker 2: of a pencil, and that's how they get stuck up there.
Speaker 2: You know. You on your on the external exam with
Speaker 2: Amy Lochrin, you guys talked about a case she had
Speaker 2: when she was working at the hospital where a lady
Speaker 2: had one stuck in there for a really long time,
Speaker 2: and she said it was one of the worst smells
Speaker 2: she ever smelled in her life. Yeah, it really is. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I can't even so nasty. That one's called vaginal ness
Speaker 2: or yeah, vagina nest if you want to check it out,
Speaker 2: because you have to see the picture of it. It's like,
Speaker 2: it's so disgusting. This next one's called lose one hundred
Speaker 2: pounds overnight. So a seventy year old a seventy one
Speaker 2: year old woman goes to the hospital with a swollen
Speaker 2: leg and shortness of breath. But believe it or not,
Speaker 2: this is not the biggest issue she's having. No, she
Speaker 2: she looks I would say, she looks beyond pregnant. She
Speaker 2: had this slow growing mass for fifteen years and finally
Speaker 2: decided to go get it checked out because she was
Speaker 2: having this issue with her shortness of breath and leg
Speaker 2: and they discovered that she had a giant ovary tumor
Speaker 2: that was causing her to be super morbidly obese. Her
Speaker 2: BMI was sixty five, which means if she was an
Speaker 2: averatite of a five foot four female, she would have
Speaker 2: had to play weigh close to four hundred pounds and
Speaker 2: they thought that the tumor was causing this. So when
Speaker 2: they when they looked at it and they took it out,
Speaker 2: they did the surgery and everything like that. Guess how
Speaker 2: big this tumor was? Well over one hundred pounds because
Speaker 2: of the so no it was, Yes, it was one
Speaker 2: hundred and forty pounds and two feet in diameter inside
Speaker 2: of this tiny woman's body. Yeah. So this had me
Speaker 2: thinking about the guy we talked about earlier with the
Speaker 2: thing growing on his face, right, Like this lady let
Speaker 2: this tumor develop over fifteen years without it being taken
Speaker 2: care of. So let me tell you this. I worked
Speaker 2: with a woman a long time ago who worked in
Speaker 2: this similar field, so she kind of knew stuff. You know.
Speaker 2: She wasn't just like an average person. And her belly
Speaker 2: started getting big like this, and she was older, she
Speaker 2: wasn't pregnant, like she was definitely old past having kids
Speaker 2: and stuff. And there was a point that like we
Speaker 2: had to go up to her and say, hey, why
Speaker 2: don't you go get your your stomach checked out because
Speaker 2: something doesn't look right. And sure enough, she ended up
Speaker 2: having ovarian cancer. And it's it's people get in denial.
Speaker 2: For or whatever reason it is. It's in this case,
Speaker 2: it wasn't because of a lack of healthcare. It just
Speaker 2: was like sometimes and maybe because she worked her on
Speaker 2: cancer all the time and stuff, she didn't want to
Speaker 2: believe it was happening to her, And that happens a
Speaker 2: lot of times. This particular case, I don't know what
Speaker 2: the deal was if it was just like because you
Speaker 2: have to think, there's so many people that live in
Speaker 2: areas of the world that don't have access to healthcare.
Speaker 2: They either don't even live near a hospital or they
Speaker 2: don't have money to get it fixed. So there's that,
Speaker 2: and people just think it's gonna go away, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And because of the size of this, you know, when
Speaker 2: they operated on her, she had to lay on her
Speaker 2: side over to operating people so that they could cut
Speaker 2: it out because she wasn't able to lay on her back,
Speaker 2: so she I can't even imagine the amount of pain
Speaker 2: she was in constantly from it. Yeah, And what happened
Speaker 2: was so that's why she was having shortness of breath
Speaker 2: because the mask was push literally pushing her lungs up
Speaker 2: inside of her chest cavity. But on top of that,
Speaker 2: it was compressing her vessels in her legs, which was
Speaker 2: causing the fluid to not be able to go freely
Speaker 2: in the leg and out of the leg, so it
Speaker 2: caused a fluid accumulation. So when you think about the
Speaker 2: tumor itself was one hundred and forty pounds, but all
Speaker 2: of that extra fluid inner tissues too, Like when this
Speaker 2: lady lost all the weight, she was really just an
Speaker 2: average weight person, but just with all of these things
Speaker 2: because of the tumor. Then she had so much extra
Speaker 2: skin too that had grown around the tumor, so they
Speaker 2: had to remove that as well. And then you know,
Speaker 2: right after surgery. That's why I titled it lose one
Speaker 2: hundred pounds overnight. Really it should be called like, lose
Speaker 2: two hundred pounds overnight at least, right. It really is
Speaker 2: amazing too when you're looking at the pictures, like how
Speaker 2: skin is able to stretch like that. It just it's
Speaker 2: mind blowing how the body works like that. I know,
Speaker 2: it really is. I see these videos from time to
Speaker 2: time on Instagram or Facebook of people that have lost
Speaker 2: a lot of weight and get this weight loss surgery,
Speaker 2: and it's it's just crazy how people's skin is hanging
Speaker 2: off of their bodies like that. It's just I mean,
Speaker 2: I had it happen to me. That's why I got
Speaker 2: a tummy tuck because when I had Maria when I
Speaker 2: was a teenager, it just really stretched my skin out
Speaker 2: so much and it just never bounced back. It just
Speaker 2: always was like hanging skin. And it happens when you
Speaker 2: have especially when you have a like a very not
Speaker 2: that fifteen years, but fifteen years of a drastic weight
Speaker 2: loss or weight gain and then a quick weight loss.
Speaker 2: It's it's not going to bounce back at all, you know. Well,
Speaker 2: I think also because you were like a teenager and
Speaker 2: not prepared necessarily for like what was happening to you.
Speaker 2: Like a lot of women have now like lotions and
Speaker 2: regimens to like make sure they're not getting stretched marks.
Speaker 2: I think that shit's bullshit. I think that it like
Speaker 2: it happens to you or it doesn't, Like that's interesting.
Speaker 2: So and I did use like that cocoa butter. Shit,
Speaker 2: it doesn't it doesn't work, like and you're gonna get
Speaker 2: them too, because my mom had them and just like
Speaker 2: some people's skins like that, and some people, yeah I musn't.
Speaker 2: I already have them from when I was younger and
Speaker 2: like gained a lot of weight really quick in my
Speaker 2: late teens, you know, so I know I already know
Speaker 2: I'm getting them because I just have them from gaining weight,
Speaker 2: so not even from having a kid, and like having
Speaker 2: my stomach stretch out like crazy. So it's definitely interesting. Okay.
Speaker 2: Our last one is submitted by a listener, and boy,
Speaker 2: where we blow this one? So this checker sisters and
Speaker 2: fiance's were celebrating New Year's Eve at their mother's house
Speaker 2: and they were playing around with fireworks. We've been talking
Speaker 2: about fireworks a lot the last couple of weeks. Every
Speaker 2: summer we get flooded with a lot of stories of
Speaker 2: like people blowing their hands off. Yesterday we wrote about
Speaker 2: this NHL player. I'm just gonna say his first name,
Speaker 2: Matis because I definitely can't pronounce the last name. But
Speaker 2: he was from Latvia. It's like Clavenx or some I
Speaker 2: wrote it that. It's yeah, keV Lenox exactly Matisse Keavelenix.
Speaker 2: We wrote about him. He played on the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Speaker 2: He was from Latvia every season. Every year, when the
Speaker 2: season was done, he typically went home to Latvia to
Speaker 2: be with his family and this one year in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one, he decided to stick around longer, celebrate the
Speaker 2: wedding of his coach's daughter and check out before the
Speaker 2: July was all about, only to get killed in this
Speaker 2: accidental firework thing. So it's it's really dangerous playing with fireworks,
Speaker 2: as we talked about a lot. But this listener says
Speaker 2: they were setting all fireworks on her mom's porch. Her
Speaker 2: fiance was setting them off about three to four yards
Speaker 2: away from where she was. And what we learned in
Speaker 2: that dissection yesterday was that pyro experts say that you
Speaker 2: should set them off a minimum of fifty feet away
Speaker 2: from people, right, So they were definitely too close. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and that really if you go by that, not a
Speaker 2: PI pro expert, that's like pyro. If you go by
Speaker 2: the role like every person that was using fireworks last
Speaker 2: weekend and stuff, you would probably avoid a lot of injuries, honestly. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So because it's New Year's even this case and the
Speaker 2: fourth of July, our listeners said she was wearing about
Speaker 2: four layers of clothing. It was very cold outside. So
Speaker 2: her fiance sets off one of the fireworks and within
Speaker 2: seconds it comes towards her seemingly burns through all four
Speaker 2: layers of her clothing and somehow gets stuck underneath the
Speaker 2: underwire of her bra. Yeah, and when it was under there,
Speaker 2: it was still exploding under her bra. Like. She said
Speaker 2: that there was smoke coming from her chest and she
Speaker 2: could smell the flesh burning on her skin. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 2: she said, it happened so fast, like I don't even
Speaker 2: know what you would do, right, So she runs in
Speaker 2: the house and she's trying to pat it out. I
Speaker 2: don't even think I would process mentally what was happening. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And she said by the time she went to the
Speaker 2: hospital and she was like taking her shirts off and stuff,
Speaker 2: there was like still smoke and debris and just the
Speaker 2: stench of her burnt skin coming off. When they took
Speaker 2: off all of her shirts and her bra, and she
Speaker 2: got a serious burn yeah, first degree, second degree and
Speaker 2: third degree burns, and third degree burns are really serious. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So she said, ultimately the worst part of the entire
Speaker 2: ordeal was their recovery, because I can't imagine how horrible
Speaker 2: it is recovering from burns. But I don't think she
Speaker 2: had to go straight to the burn center. So I
Speaker 2: don't know, yeah, but imagine just think about I always
Speaker 2: think about this with people that get burned like that,
Speaker 2: Like when you get burned by the crawling iron or
Speaker 2: the oven. It is terrible. Not the pain itself, it's
Speaker 2: like the pain the next day. Yeah, it just hurts
Speaker 2: so bad. It's just the grossest. It's like that gross
Speaker 2: like tooth pain or something that just disgusting nerve. Ugh.
Speaker 2: And just imagine having that on a large area of
Speaker 2: your body, especially somewhere sensitive like your breath. It's just
Speaker 2: it's just so scary. I can't imagine. Like working in
Speaker 2: the restaurant forever, I definitely got burned a lot. The
Speaker 2: one in particular, I like one of the line cooks
Speaker 2: pushed a meatball sandwich that just came out of the
Speaker 2: oven with cheese, like molten hot geese on it, and
Speaker 2: it flipped on my hand and I got a really
Speaker 2: bad burn on my palm. But I feel like, because
Speaker 2: your palm's really rough, it's like not as bad. So
Speaker 2: that sucked. I mean I couldn't hold anything for two
Speaker 2: weeks at work, so that was shitty in itself. And
Speaker 2: then when I was at school one time, I had
Speaker 2: this hot glue gun that got really really hot and
Speaker 2: just the tip of it hit my finger so lightly
Speaker 2: and it made me cry the next day. It hurt
Speaker 2: so bad. I can't imagine having a burn so large
Speaker 2: on your body, especially in a sensitive area like you're saying,
Speaker 2: and she said the smell was horrible. The whole ordeal
Speaker 2: just seems horrific. Yeah, and just to have it the
Speaker 2: fire happening underneath of your clothes, that's holding it close
Speaker 2: to your skin, Yeah, I mean, just just imagine. And
Speaker 2: I of course I emailed there and I was like,
Speaker 2: do you have any photos of this? And she's she's
Speaker 2: like no, because and I'm like, yeah, that's the last
Speaker 2: thing I would be thinking about was taking photos of this,
Speaker 2: but sometimes people do, so I was just curious. But yeah,
Speaker 2: just fireworks. If we could teach you anything, this year
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four is just there's some reason that
Speaker 2: humans like to be close to them and just stay
Speaker 2: fifty feet away. And then I feel like it would
Speaker 2: greatly increase your chances of surviving if you get hit
Speaker 2: with one. Yeah, absolutely, so go by with the pyrotechnic
Speaker 2: experts to fire. O experts said minimum of fifty feet
Speaker 2: but of course, be careful. Like you know, all these
Speaker 2: stories are rolling out just from over this weekend alone
Speaker 2: about accidents that happened. I mean, it's undeniable. We see
Speaker 2: it every like Memorial Day to Labor Day, everything in between.
Speaker 2: There's some perfect recipe of nice weather summer American celebrations.
Speaker 2: Then people are always blowing their hands off, So just
Speaker 2: be careful. Well, yesterday I gave what we were. So
Speaker 2: we were writing this article yesterday about this hockey player
Speaker 2: and then we I don't know why we were what
Speaker 2: were we looking up? We were looking out something and
Speaker 2: then he said, oh, I did that once. I threw
Speaker 2: firework at someone once it hit them in the chest.
Speaker 2: And I was like, why would you do that? And
Speaker 2: he was just like, oh, because I was younger, and
Speaker 2: that's like, that's just what guys do. Yeah, I'm like,
Speaker 2: that's fucking terrible. No, you didn't. You didn't think that
Speaker 2: there was anything wrong with me. In the same next
Speaker 2: situation at my house, So I'm at home eating dinner
Speaker 2: last night with Ricky and I'm telling him about the
Speaker 2: hockey player we wrote about, because I'm pretty sure he's
Speaker 2: the one that suggested we cover that case. So I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, we finally did it, and then he's
Speaker 2: telling me the same thing. They used to go on
Speaker 2: this camping trip every year, and he said one year
Speaker 2: they were throwing m ads in the charcoal pit. Why yeah,
Speaker 2: this is exactly why. That's why it always happens to men,
Speaker 2: Like most of the injuries happen with men and boys because
Speaker 2: they just their brain just works differently and not in
Speaker 2: a good He was like, well, they'd like slower, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, this doesn't be better. What are you thinking? Okay, Well,
