Stuck Up!: 100 Objects Inserted and Ingested in Places They Shouldn’t Be

I laughed till I cried and made a Facebook status about an extension cord. I've been a nurse since 1995, and this is absolutely the funniest book I've seen in a long time. Just looking at the pictures cracked me up. But, as the author said in a radio interview I heard, he can't explain how some of the items got there due to HIPA, and sometimes I'm curious, in a weird way...I mean, I know how the items got there. Don't get me wrong, I understand which makes it even funnier. But why? Which I also understand, and it's even funnier. I was curious about the dog x-rays, and hadn't thought of the outcome of swallowing THAT. I'm not giving it away. This is very funny, and something I will laugh about for a while. It'd also make a great book for someone in the medical profession.

funny and interesting. great buy and a fun read if you like that sort of nonsense!!! being in the medical field myself i thought it was funny. you never know what someone is willing to do and they have the x-ray evidence to prove it!! lol.

This is a pretty darn funny collection of a series of xrays showing interesting items in locations they were never meant to be (Buzz Lightyear, seriously???).I think most people have heard a good story or two, but this is a great collection of 'interesting' films. I would have found it a little more interesting however, if instead of amusing speculations, anecdotes and suppositions if the authors had given the real story behind the films.I do take exception for the authors (non-surgeons) who did make a comment that seemed to say (okay, did effectively say) that surgeons who operate long enough WILL leave something behind. Um, no. Not really. That is NOT something I would expect a medical professional to say, however these fellows are a distinctly non-surgical group...however, it did ruin a perfectly good flow of entertainment.In the end (ha ha), despite the flaws, I did find this quite amusing (again, Buzz Lightyear????) and worth a fun bit of reading. So, recommended. Just don't expect the surgical types to be pleased with that one write-up.JTG

Very cool book. Gave it to my husband for Christmas and he really liked it. My daughter was about to make fun of it when she picked it up and couldn't put it down.

They just make jokes about the pictures....they don't actually tell the story of how these incidents happen.

I purchased 2 of these books for Christmas gifts to give at our neighborhood party. The books were never put down and there was a tussel at the end of the party over who was taking them home. While the subject is a bit creepy it is still facinating. I would highly recommend this book for yourself or as a gift. I would also recommend that it be purchased for adults only.

Great use of humor, sarcasm and important information to teach the public! Just don't try and shove the book up your rectum!

This was purchased for my dad as a "gag gift" for Christmas. It ended up being the hit of the gathering as we read aloud and passed around the book. Lots of fun and laughter was had. Sadly, other's misfortunes or lack of thinking provide quite the entertainment.

Great for laughs

Molto interessante

Livre acheté pour faire une petite blague à un ami intéressé par la médecine et les "curiosités" que l'on rencontre lors de l'exercice de cette profession. Livre très original, rapidement livré et qui a fait son petit effet.Seul bémol, la qualité des radiographies, imprimés sur du papier classique, qui laisse parfois un peu à désirer... Mais bon pour le prix du livre celà reste acceptable.

Sent it to my cousin, so I didn't actually see the product. But from what he tells me, he was pleasantly shocked. Recommended as a joke for friends.

専門知識があるとさらにおもしろい。英語は口語調。ちょっと高いかな。
