Yeah, but that's because I didn't know that the vibrator was there when I took the x-ray. It wasn't until I developed the image that I realized why the patient had come in to the hospital.
However, I didn't manage to keep a straight face when I got back to the radiology department and told my coworkers. That proceeded to spark a discussion of cases they had seen where people got objects stuck where the sun don't shine.
I once had a class that had us taking a trip to the King County Coroner's office and there was a whole slide show of "weird objects" that were found in people's body. Sooooo weird.
It really is amazing what people will stick into themselves.
One of my coworkers told us about a woman who had come to see her doctor because she said she had a tree growing out of her. (Which, naturally, resulted in a lot of O_o??? from the staff.)
It turns out that she had gotten a potato stuck in her vagina, and it had been up there long enough that it had started to sprout.

It made for a rather entertaining day.
