A man is eaten by dogs
[ranking: 1]
"Surgeon here. Saw hardened trauma nurses leaving an operating room looking grim and a bit green. I went in to see what the fuss was.
A homeless man was attacked by Rottweilers, incapacitated, and they proceeded to eat all the flesh from both legs and one arm as he lay there helpless.
Don't ask me how he lived but he survived that and ultimately lived long enough to leave the hospital. I will be haunted by the look of just his leg bones, intact, with no flesh on them (arm was gone). He still had the interosseus tendon holding the tibia to the fibula but otherwise just intact leg bones completely free of flesh. Feet gone of course."
His foot popped off like picking an apple

"This story is my brothers who is an EMT.
Ambulance called for a homeless man who complains of severe foot pain. Upon trying to inspect the foot, it comes off, just pulls away like an apple plucked from a tree. Revealing the man's lower leg bones, and a horrendous infection.
He would survive, but not until he had his leg amputated at the mid thigh."
A marital spat gets out of hand
[ranking: 6]
"My ex wife's mom was an nurse in a small town hospital.
One night, slow as most small town weeknights were, they saw a guy walking up towards the hospital with his hands held up in the air beside his shoulders. Another nurse went to check it out and shortly afterwards came back through in a big hustle, calmly but emphatically suggesting they get a gurney ready.
Turns out, this dude had been drinking and barbequing in the back yard with his wife. He made some comment or the other to which the wife took offense, so she stabbed him through the neck sideways with the grill fork, told him to f*ck off, and shut herself in the house. He couldn't get inside to call anyone and his wife wouldn't do it for him, so he decided to stumble himself on down to the ER, holding the ends of the fork to keep it from jostling too much."
Woman stores dead bird inside herself
[ranking: 11]
"My friend is a nurse and working in Melbourne and a well-known patient (frequent flyer with mental health concerns) came in throwing up, her skin was yellow and clammy. She was very disoriented. The nurse proceeded to do a full body check with another nurse and they just happen to see a small string hanging out of the lady's private parts. They asked the woman about it and she wouldn't answer. So the nurses slowly pulled on the string and out came a dead, decaying sparrow.
When asked what it was doing in there, the patient claimed that she was planning on eating it later.The decomposing bird was causing blood poisoning."
Woman stuffs herself with leaves
[ranking: 16]
"A woman came in complaining of foul vaginal odor. A fellow med student asked her what medicines/herbs/supplements she was on, and she pulled out a huge bag full of different sized mason jars and prescription bottles. One of the jars contains raspberry leaves, which the woman said were used to improve vaginal odors. The doctor asked how long she kept them in there, and she replied, 'They're natural, they just decompose and disappear.'
Cut to woman in the stirrups. Her vagina is loaded with rotting, brown-red mush. Ugh."
Woman attacked by dogs
[ranking: 8]
"But the most disturbing thing I've ever seen was a woman who was quite literally ripped apart by wild dogs. Disturbing because you'd think that sort of thing doesn't happen in the United States in the modern era and yet, it did. She lived in a rural area (but not that far from a major city!), there were wild dogs about and her little lap dog had gotten outside one evening. She heard it barking and went out to see what was going on. It was fighting with some other dogs and she tried to rescue it but ended up getting torn apart.
I'm still not sure why the paramedics brought her to the ER but we pronounced her dead on arrival."
