That was gratifying! Awesome!!!

That thing was huge! More like a “monolith” than a “rhinotlith”.

Dr A is a Dr J wannabe
but oh my,how the f**k do you get one of those things up your hooter?

Evidently the patient isn’t a nose-picker….

Chief Wiggam: “Now remember, Ralphie: If your nose bleeds, it means you’re picking it too much. Or not enough.”

I could only dream to pull one of these things out of myself someday…

rhinoboulder?

NICE

Holy boogers batman!!!!!!!!!

How was the guy able to breathe with that thing up there? Any nurses out there that can explain what causes this? Surely it’s not a build-up of boogers is it?

from dr. ghorayeb’s website http://www.ghorayeb.com/Rhinolith.html

“Rhinoliths are rare. They are calcareous concretions that are formed by the deposition of salts on an intranasal foreign body. The foreign body, which acts as the nucleus for encrustation, can be either endogenous or exogenous. Dessicated blood clots, ectopic teeth, and bone fragments are examples of endogenous matter. Exogenous materials include fruit seeds, plant material, beads, cotton wool, and dental impression material.”

so… this is a pearl?

looks like a meteorite. What the Hell?? Can you imagine if that came out after he’d sneezed??? He’d had a freaking heart attack, at least i would’ve.

Hey CW, from a nurses informed opinion, NOT EASILY, tee-hee! You guys are a bunch of clowns.. really funny comments!! I have to stifle my hoots as everyones in bed…

I would have totally dug at that with a screwdriver or something long before it got to that point.

“Huh, whaddya know? You’re right!”

Seriously…could you imagine having that thing in your nose?!
