And believe me, it happens more than people realize. “Ass goblins”Īnyone who shove things up their ass and then pretend they have no idea how it got there. I offered a psychiatric eval but they said that they would go to her mother’s psychiatrist. I saw it in dad’s face, and then he turned to his wife and said “honey, I think we need to talk.” I left the room, and they took her home 15 minutes later. It went from “don’t be ridiculous, she’s sick” to “what the hell are you doing?” to “wait a second, that looks like just spit” to “holy shit my daughter is fucking crazy.” The dad’s reaction was something to behold. So I opened up the glass, and with a gloved hand, I pulled out the “worms.” I ran it around in my fingers and showed them. They asked for a GI consult so someone could look into her infection. Mom and dad were livid with me when I suggested that it was in her head (there’s actually a delusional disorder named Delusional Parasitosis)… They couldn’t accept the fact that her daughter was crazy.
They had driven down from out of state, in a panic that their daughter was dying of a parasitic infection. As I was trying to convince her that it was just normal spit, her parents arrived. I held it up to the light … looked like saliva with clumps of mucus in it. She brought them in a glass, covered with saran wrap.
She actually brought a sample of these worms. She said it had been happening for a few months and it was worsening. She told me she had been noticing worms in her mouth and in her urine and stool. A patient came in to the ER one night saying she was infected with worms. When they realized…ĮR doctor here, here’s a weird one.
