An AskReddit threat recently asked emergency workers “What’s the weirdest thing someone has came in for?” The answers ranged from hilarious to disgusting and everything in between. Here are 11 of the wildest responses from the thread.

I used to be an EMT and one time we got called to a house in the middle of the night for a patient with belly pain.
We get to his house and he is bent over a chair in extreme pain.
We get him in the ambulance and start taking him to the ER. The whole drive he’s letting out these tiny farts that are deadly. He’s also yelling that he just needs to fart. Can’t we give him something to make him fart?
The ER doc asks us if there is a possibility of a foreign body issue and I say that I didn’t check. Doctor sends him to the CT scanner where he lets rip with a fart that echoed. He felt better and left the ER. They had to close the scanner to air it out.

Had a lady come in for shortness of breath. Began to place an oxygen mask on her. She yells “I’m allergic to oxygen!” and pulls the mask off. I heard the doctor laugh behind the curtain.

My aunt is a nurse and this is her story:
Two extremely drunk men came in. One of them fell down the stairs and somehow he got glass in his eye. His friends pulled out the glass and sealed the gash in his eye with superglue. The meds had to soak his eye in acetone to get it open.
