Another one . . .

. . for the list of things I didn't realize I needed to be worried about.

Called to one of our shock rooms for a woman in profound shock due to vaginal bleeding.

We started fluids, ordered blood, called Ob-gyn and then asked her how long the bleeding had been going on.

-1 hour.

Have you ever had bleeding before?

-Never.

What were you doing when it started?

-Sex.

Any foreign objects. Toys?

-Just normal sex.

So we stuck in a speculum to take a look.

She had a 3 cm laceration through the wall of her vagina.

Yes. Her boyfriend . . . popped her vagina.

She ended up going straight to the OR.

The even scarier part?

When I went to find the staff physician to let him know about the patient, he wasn't at all shocked. "Oh yeah," he said, "we saw the same thing two weeks ago."

This happens???

1) Makes you wonder if it's the same boyfriend in both cases; 2)Maybe I'm getting to old and sex has changed significantly recently; or 3) Penises are becoming supersized!
