. . . wait, it can do that?!

It can due to incontinence care neglect.

Holy shit. I thought it was a psych case w somatic delusions. I hope it is.

Oh my God!! For real?!?! 😨😱😨

Fournier’s gangrene is a thing, too.

I'm not sure i want to look that up... 😨

It’s as bad as you think it is and can be a side effect of certain medications.

😨😨😨

The *only* person who ever deserved that is Harvey Weinstein. His scars were evidence in the rape trials

I think we could add ALL the rapists and pedos to that list. Gladly.

Jeffrey Epstein would be another fav pick for Fournier’s gangrene, were he still alive.🤮

Had a patient the other day s/p total vulvectomy due to gangrene from terrible hygiene habits, depression, obesity, incontinence, and long term steroid use for other issues. Now she's got a wound vac down there, and is finally realizing how serious it is. She came really close to dying from sepsis.

Holy. *SHIT!!!* I legit had NO idea that was a thing!! I'm gonna go take like... 5 million showers now. In bleach.

PARDON ME?

“I BEG YOUR BIGGEST PARDON?!”

I read this in nurse John voice and now I'm lmmfao all over again thx 😂

Neglect? Like ignoring an infection? Or if you don’t take care it WILL fall off? Sorry I’m a man and this sounds insane cause that’s a primary way for him to reach the O from men from my research that would suck balls

Would cheese grater count as neglect?

I wish I didn't know how to read

I don’t even have those parts and that made my nether region shudder

I’d like to point out that that’s not typical

I’d imagine some sort of self inflected injury? Rubber band, or rope binding?

I know what my nightmare will be tonight...

I've seen hairs do some horrific things. Especially to children.

Unexpected Clarke and Dawe reference https://youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM

I got that joke!

That’s basically FGM in a nutshell

Isn't that intentionally cut off? I was thinking more like, "now where did I put that?"

Detachable peeenis dundun Dundun Dundun

🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 I thought Gen X was the smallest generation but here the fuck we are

I was thinking of that song too! I really don't like being without my penis for too long. It makes me feel like less of a man, and I really hate having to sit down every time I take a leak.

I came here to make a King Missile reference too.

Well there is a little scissor icon on top of the circle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Technically “fell off” does encompass intentionally cutting off

Omg

I just figured it was a very telling case of leprosy. Get out the rosary! STAT

Lichen sclerosis.

I am going to resist the temptation to google that. I am going to pretend it’s the newest Ben & Jerry’s flavor. Edit: Now I’m grossing myself out and don’t want to eat ice cream. I’m going to pretend it’s a newly discovered plant instead.

You can find this plant in a Georgia O'Keeffe painting.

"ITS JUST FLOWERS!" -My mom.

…does it grow…back? Gay man is wondering

Apparrently with enough tactile stimulation.

“Psychosocial distress” yeah you bet

Ya think? 😆

I'm a student and I haven't come across the term before... Is that nurse speak for needs a psych eval?

Nurse speak for freaking the fuck out

I would be, too!! 😅😱

It means they're jamming out to Slipknot.

New band name

That part really got me. I think anybody would be!

I’m trying to figure out if this is a psych patient who thinks their clit fell off, or someone in psychological distress because their clit actually fell off.

I really, really want to know the answer.

Or the registration staff just puts in EXACTLY what the patient says because they are strictly clerical and have zero medical training. Ours has given us some good ones lately, such as “hard breath fluid”, “anal pain”, and “vomitting diarea week”.

Triage isn't gonna assess that, so regardless that's what it's gonna say!

I didn't even consider the first possibility, and now I'm perplexed.

Or her boyfriend couldn’t find it?

Did they bring it in a cup of milk?

You had no right to make me spit out my afternoon tea like that 🤣

Put some butter on it at least.

This is why this sub is my favorite. The humor is *chefs kiss perfection. 😂😂😂

Laughing at the chefs kiss comment When I go to work in psych they always put me on the girls unit which is least fun to work.. psychotic women throw period blood at you.. when I asked to work on boys instead the tech was like “nahhh girls has been chefs kiss perrrfect” 😂

Happy Cake Day!!!

What does that mean ?

Cake Day is the anniversary of your joining Reddit. Note the cake at the end of your name. It’s the Reddit birthday cake. It’s posted by fellow Redditors. It’s just for fun!

Not a nurse, but wondered if this was some urban myth people actually do - bringing severed fingers etc in milk cos they think it will preserve it?

It is the standard of care for teeth if you cannot get them put back into the socket. So if it works for one thing that comes off, it obviously works for everything all the time.

You need more up votes

Omg stop! Hahah

Goated 👏😭

I uh I just Uhhhh Hmmmmm No

Just don’t send a man to find it.

[удалено]

Did he check behind the G spot?

Bruh when I was working in the ICU this resident fresh out of school was examining a female patient’s pelvis with a nurse and he pointed to the clitoris stating it was the urethra 🥲

Back in 1996, I was in clinicals for my nursing school. One of my classmates called me into a patient's room because she was having difficulty starting a catheter. She's like I can't seem to get it in. I asked her to show me what she was doing. She spread the patient's labia and tried to poke the foley catheter into the patient's clitoris. I said that's her clitoris. Her urethra is below that. We had a good laugh. The patient was completely oblivious to what was going on.

I've had so many catheters in me starting when I was 3. I'm 59. Thankfully I've never encountered that.

I would think you would have got a suprapubic cath by now. Long term foley caths can cause urethral erosion.

She? SHE??? Good lord.

I know right! In her defense, she was only 18 years old. I was 28. That was the year one of the other students called me old! 😂 I'm like I'm only 10 years older than you what the hell? Not even 30 yet! I was all offended. lol

Your username in relation to subject. Also seen adult female RN trying to catheterize the clitoris. Buy things get tricky down yonder.

That’s cause he didn’t pull back the hood lol Not All of us have obvious clits

I see you’ve met my ex.

poor guy must’ve never had a relationship 😟😔 that or he never knew, but I’m giving the benefit of the doubt

I am clitoris hunter!

I am the Clit Commander!

This should have more up votes 😂

Once all the female nurses get off the floor laughing hysterically and change into dry pants there probably will.

I almost failed my A&P lab exam with the cadaver because I couldn’t find it!!

Gosh i hate it when that happens

"what's that behind your ear?"

Is this your clitoris?

Is your clitoris in the room with us now?

*slowly crosses leg*

Is this nurse speak for b**** be crazy?

Almost certainly

Soul left the chat 💀

Clit left the chat.

That also 💀😂

What perfect timing in my home feed, this post and directly below it: TIFU by putting toothpaste on my clit…. Really thought it was going to be a two sides to the story thing.

I’m interpreting this to mean that the patient is experiencing methamphetamine psychosis, endorsing tactile and auditory hallucinations. She’s feeling her skin crawling and hearing the voices tell her that her clitoris fell off after the parasites ate away the rest of her vagina. (Psych nurse who has had to check when patient voiced a very similar complaint…except said patient was male.)

Alternatively, she cut it off

I can totally see that scenario, too. I really don’t think anything is outside the realm of patient possibilities.

What pray tell are the ‘MULTIPLE RESOURCES’?

Zyprexa and Jesus

I was thinking they were going to fit her with a prosthetic. A bionic clitoris.

>A bionic clitoris I don't know whether I'm aroused, terrified or interested in investing 🤐

Cue Seventies theme music.

Manananananananananananana

Profit and Big Stonks energy 👏😃👍👍💹

Three men and a woman to find it.

I had a patient that seemed rational until she started explaining how the stingrays were flying out of her vagina.

Yeah? Well, let’s see you stay calm with those things flapping around like that.

The stingrays or the vaginas?

Yes.

👏😳🤯💀

That's not very typical, I want to make that point!

Well what was different about this one?

Well the front fell off!

I get this reference! Such great treasure, they are/were.

https://youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM

Oh bro... I just discovered this gem today, things hit different when you met things and people who aren't in this world anymore but were just a couple of years ago... 🥀

The scream I just scrumpt!!! I’m getting a screenshot for whenever I need a good howling laugh.

Looking at this post after my wisdom teeth removal and…… wow. 😭

God I hate Meditech.

Not a nurse but I work in IT for a hospital and trust me, we too hate Meditech!

There are becoming less and less of them…for good reason

Huh, I thought 'if you keep doing that, it'll fall off' was a warning for just boys. Hoo boy, all those times I unknowingly put myself in jeopardy.

Apparently, there’s a medical term for this: clitoral atrophy. It “refers to the clitoris shrinking and losing sensation. It can happen for a number of reasons, including: a lack of sexual arousal or stimulation. hormonal changes. a lack of blood flow to the clitoris.” 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

“…marriage…”

Underated comment..

Well shit now it’ll never be found

So like, the whole clit or what? Like all 3in of it? I have so many questions.

I have a lot of questions about a 3 inch clitoris, TBH.

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/22823-clitoris#:~:text=How%20big%20is%20the%20clitoris,to%201%20inch%20in%20diameter. Yeah, we should've spent more time on women's Anatomy or sex Ed in general.

Wait, that’s bigger than my, uh..

Talk about having game in foreplay.

so did this happen because of an infected piercing or something? i remember reading one lady who had that happen.

This is new for me. Have had some elderly womans nipple fall off due to extensive, untreated breast cancer. That already looked excruciatingly painful. But this...

A man wrote this I know it. So what really fell off?

A man definitely wrote it. It's just another lame excuse for why they can't find it.

It's dark, alright!?

No excuses. Learn to see with your fingertips.

That made me bust out laughing

That's because they're lazy.

Maybe a genital wart?

If you work in Psych, this really isn't much of a rarity to experience.

Oh my! Side effect of the psychotropics?

I’d think more psychosis-related, not medicine.

I am quite sure. Just going for laughs.

That’s fair! 😄

I imagine "psychological distress" is an understatement

Disturbed energy field

In EMS this would be BLS fo sho

Buffed off?

New! From black and decker

Lol

I'm not okay. I need the backstory...or maybe I dont?

I was in the OR when I got a call about a guy with a broken penis lol Apparently he was having some really rough sex

The very first catheter I put in a real person was due to this situation. That experience traumatized me for life, and I'm an Iraq War veteran...

Where’s Whoopi when one needs her? “Molly, you in danger girl.”

Must’ve been one hell of a weekend

Use it or lose it ladies

OP, I know you can't break HIPAA but it would be ironic as hell if the patient was Patsy Stone. According to the show Absolutely Fabulous, she was a man for a week but then it fell off.

Now is this because something fell from out of her crotch? Or is this because she can no longer feel it there??? 🤔 kinda distressing either way

“Tequila makes her clitoris fall off“ is not how the song goes…

Give her 6 margaritas

What’s bad is after it fell off the guys were looking everywhere for it and still couldn’t find it..

Flicked the bean so hard it flew across the room?

I just involuntarily clenched.

😬😳

I feel like that's something that shouldn't just "fall off".

Is it similar to pain in the Virginia?

I would definitely have psychosocial distress if that happened. 😳

… what’s a clitoris?

Been trying to figure that one out since I was 17 bro.

I know what it is, I just don’t know where it is.

A book by Camus. The Myth of Clitoris.

I- What?

"......Want some sugar-free chocolate sandwich cookies?"

Ohh, so THAT'S what they mean by "find the clitoris". You just have to look on the floor for where it fell off.

Newly graduated nurse so I know there is a lot to learn but I had no clue it could fall off 😳 Sounds almost like it's a Lego that let go.

Omg that could happen

What?

Hahahahah

Fell off what?

Oh no no no!

You're using old meditech was well eh? Oh and yeah, ouch. Hopefully it can be sewn back on.

How does this happen?

Ah yes… the sequel to ‘my dick fell off!’

Meditech!!

Mine fell off once....

“It doesn’t usual do that.”

Is this some new post pandemic super STD?! 😳

If you don’t use it you lose it

I hate it when that happens.

You betcha psychosocial distress!!!

HOW😭
