Did you get the scan?

And he was like, so I think I need to change the procedure.

So I'm kind of thinking sometimes it can get down until the scrotal sac, maybe the testicle came up.

And he was like, no, no, there's something in there.

And I said, something in where?

He's like, there's something in them and I don't think they know that it's there.

He was like, I'm just going to come up and I'm just going to show it to you.

Part of my job is anticipating the supplies that we need because I scrub in and I help them.

Yeah.

I kind of need to know what's going on so that I can prepare.

So he comes up and he pulls up the scan and I'm looking at it.

And this guy does have an inguinal hernia, which is what he came in to complain for.

But he also has this bright white, which usually means it's metal, eight to nine inch thing in his abdomen.

Well, so my first thought was, did this guy get stabbed with like a shiv?

Because I've seen a lot of scams where things are stuck in people's rectums.

They're usually near the bottom.

This one was kind of off to the side, not 100% on the bottom, but far enough that my first instinct wasn't this guy stuck this...

up his rectum and he didn't swallow it.

So I'm like, okay, what are we dealing with?

So we're trying to come up with a plan because we're like, is this a pen?
