They had to go to the doctor because the brother kept doing it even after his first round of infections that required medical intervention.

The brother in questions was 12 years old. :gonk: He didn't want to stop, he wanted to shove things up his peepee.

At first the goon suspicion was that it was a sounding fetish. And some goons were all "that's not too bad if it's done with clean safe equipment. If he won't stop maybe get him some proper probes that can be sterilized and . . . " trying to be sex positive or some poo poo. The the bloody bike pump was found and, "oh gently caress it's an inflation fetish there is no loving way for that to be safe, get your brother into psychiatric care tonight!!!"

Not just mangled but intertwined - I believe that had to use heavy machinery to disassemble the whole thing.

well, if someone was caught between the weight of the raft and one of the longitudinal belts, ground chuck. if you were ejected and didn't get lucky and fall all the way through, any part of your body hanging below the latitudinal beams would get sheared off by the stationary frame beneath, before the rest of you got chewed up being forced past and under the raft.

This is goddamned nightmare material. It doesn't help that I have that weird underwater+machinery phobia as well. It makes me physically ill. Not to mention to even begin to fathom what those poor kids went through. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. My heart just hurts for them.

I wonder who covers workplace safety at CERN?

I was a safety officer at CERN when I was a grad student. It's an interesting mix of grad students, postdocs, and hourly paid staffers.

Since it's either an office park aboveground or a radioactive zone in the tunnels the security is really different. Anything underground is really well regulated and maintained.

That said, someone did die during the construction of the LHC (hourly construction worker) who "bent" the rules and was crushed. It was by a bunch of wiring I think.

CASE STUDY

A patient’s feeding tube was inadvertently connected to the instillation port on the ventilator in-line suction catheter
Tube feeding was delivered into the patient’s lungs
The patient died

CASE STUDY

A patient was found with her Foley catheter disconnected from its drainage bag. One end of the catheter was still in her bladder and the other end was connected to her nasogastric (NG) tube
Urine was noted to be flowing into her NG tube
The NG tube was connected to suction and more than 300 mL of urine drained
The patient’s vital signs were stable and her laboratory results were within normal limits

CASE STUDY

A child had both a gastric feeding tube for nutrition and an IV for medicine and hydration
When the child’s gown was changed, a family member inadvertently attached the IV tubing to the gastric feeding tube
The medicine was delivered through the feeding tube into the stomach
There was no patient harm since the event was noted in a timely manner

It does seem like a pretty dumb oversight, and a solved problem in most other industries. For instance, on oxyacetylene torch rigs, the oxygen fittings use right-handed threads and the fuel fittings are left-handed, so it's physically impossible to attach the connections backwards and cause an explosion. Surely it's even more important to have some kind of non-interchangeable irreversible fitting when you're literally piping fluids in and out of a person's body?

They almost certainly are colour-coded. Colour-coding doesn't prevent people from making mistakes, especially when they're at the end of a 48-hour shift or whatever they have medical residents doing these days.

The solution is to make it physically impossible to connect the wrong ones and have stuff start flowing. That's a few cents more expensive per-unit though, which is why it doesn't happen.

You say that like physically impossible fittings have ever stopped someone going to the shop and connecting a bunch of makeups together until you can mate anything to anything. Maybe less so on oxyacetylene torches, because presumably the person is trained on oxyacetylene torches and knows why the fittings are the way they are. But in general cases like piped breathing air or potable water where special fittings are in place to prevent thoughtless connections, it doesn't take long until you find something where you're like they connected what to what?????? Or find cheater makeups that mate the special fittings to a flange at which point the hose and piping world is your oyster.

That requires a lot of wiresplicing and poo poo that goes way beyond the range of accident.


What I'm trying to say is if someone just jams two tubes together regardless that would be homocide at that point since that's beyond accident
