I had a pleasure of triaging this 22-year old guy last night who stuck a tab of Tylenol in his right ear and (surprise surprise) couldn't get it out. I didn't even bother exploring his reasoning behind what he did. It was well into my night shift. I was tired. I already saw enough stupidity for one night. But I did ask how long has the pill been stuck in his ear canal. "Twelve hours," he said. Then he paused, thought about it for a second and said: "No, more like eleven."
Thanks for clarifying the exact time you did something that no normal person after the age of six would do. Thank you, because it definitely made you look less like an idiot.
