Fish swims into boy's penis
OUCH! And does anyone else think this sounds really suspicious? It just somehow made its way up there? Come ON.

The 2cm daredevil caused all kinds of medical problems when it swam through the teenager's urethra.
The unfortunate lad was taken to hospital with complaints of pain, dribbling urine and acute urinary retention.
He claimed the fish slipped into his penis while he was cleaning his aquarium at home in India.
Professor Vezhaventhan and Professor Jeyaraman, who treated the boy and later wrote a paper on the case, said: "While he was cleaning the fish tank in his house, he was holding a fish in his hand and went to the toilet for passing urine.
"When he was passing urine, the fish slipped from his hand and entered his URETHRA and then he developed all these symptoms."
After finding the fish in the boy's BLADDER, the medics insert a special set of forceps down the patient's penis in a technique known as cystourethroscopy.
But the fish was too slippery, so the professors used a rigid ureteroscope with a tool attached ? normally used for removing bladder stones.
The fish, which is thought to be a small member of the Betta genus, measured 2cm long and 1.5cm wide.
The patient was later offered counselling.

Re: Fish swims into boy's penis
One of my fellow med school wives was telling me this lecture she went to first year with her husband. It was basically 'stuff people have gotten stuck in their head'.
I imagine a similar conference could be done with stuff people have gotten stuck in their privates.
Yes, but it's hilarious, so it must be true!
The opening wouldn't have to be an inch wide. That measurement is for the length of the fish. I'm assuming it has a small circumference. Like a tiny worm or something.
This is hilarious.
I'm thinking that the "counselling" the victim needed had less to do with helping him get over the trauma and more to do with "what are appropriate things to do with animals and sea life."
Background story on this kid: He'd done it before. He'd been admitted to the hospital SEVERAL times before this time for various foreign objects inserted into various orifices.
That's what the counseling was about.
I'll see if I can find the article that talks about his previous...um...escapades...
