Heard a horror story from a guy dating a "junior doctor" in England.  According to him...

Irish guys in particular could pound beer so fast their bladder would swell so large it blocked the urethra.  So they couldn't pee to save their life.  And were blitzed to boot.

So their drunk buddies lug the guy to the ER.  A junior doctor (intern) gets out a special big needle and rams it through their skin into the bladder so urine explodes like a fire hose as they guy thrashed in agony.

Doesn't sound right, but it's sure nightmare fuel.

I was in Belfast on a business trip back in the 90's and it happened to be some Irish holiday on Friday. Work ended shortly after noon and everyone retired to the pub. For every pint I drank, they drank at least three. I stumbled back to my hotel room early, lost my PDA, and they were still going strong.

I dunno about the anatomy in that story, but based on experience I can't totally dismiss it...

Maybe I misunderstood what you said, but it seems like just jamming a needle into someone's bladder to release urine would end up a good way to get a serious infection... I'm not a doctor though.

This was an ER emergency operation.  Or so the story goes.

And considering urine is a mild acid and almost sterile, the chance of infection is low.

Or so the story goes.

always a risk when getting stabbed.

but continuing to build up pressure in the bladder without relief is a good way to get your kidneys shooting out your nose

Wouldn't they just put a catheter up the urethra?

/Yeah, just as many guys cringed at that mental image as did at the idea of being stabbed.

dbirchall:

Yeah, try a Foley catheter (up your pee hole) then a Coude catheter (again up your pee hole) then consider a suprapubic cath (direct stick into bladder and out to a bag). None are fun, and IV antibiotics are very necessary when doing a suprapubic catheter.

I'm sure it's not great for girls too.

I was catheterized a few times last year, it is not a fun experience. The only good thing about it is the times saved by not having to go pee. To everyone going through that experience: if you have trouble peeing once the catheter is removed, just imagine the experience of peeing while trying to pee for real.
