• About ER Stories

    Many times over the past 8 years that Mike has been practicing Emergency Medicine, he has told me about his interesting cases. He continues to do so now.

    When we get together with friends, especially other doctors or my sister, Emili & her husband, Dallon who is a physician's assistant, the conversation and exchange of experiences can get pretty lively. Some of the stories are wild! Don't worry, he doesn't share names or information that might betray confidentiality.

    I enjoy hearing these tales. The only problem is when we're eating dinner and the story gets more detailed or gory than I want to hear at the moment. I guess it's part of being married to a doctor.

    So these are written by me-to the best of my recalling ability-after Mike has related his experiences. I thought you might find some of these stories as fascinating as I do.

The Kid Who Wanted to be Deaf

This made me sad and angry when Mike told me about this case.

A boy was brought in by his parents because he had stuck corn kernels in his ears and they couldn’t get them out. Mike was able to remove them and afterward asked the boy why he had put them there in the first place.

His response was, “There were movies on at my house, and I didn’t want to hear the bad things.”

I seriously want to cry for children that feel this way.

Moral of the story: Don’t allow our precious, innocent children to view things that are scary or inappropriate. Even if we are desensitized to intense media, we should still protect the purity and happiness of our little ones.
