He Just Needed a Little Change

#1 Postby southerngale » Tue Nov 25, 2003 4:40 pm

EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. - A man and a pay phone were rushed to the hospital after he managed to get his finger firmly wedged in the coin return slot while attempting to retrieve his change. Doctors gave Emanuel Fleming a painkiller and pried his middle finger loose using a wooden device and lubricant. Fleming had been trying to call his wife from the phone, but the line was busy. When two passers-by were unable to help him, he used his free hand to call 911. Emergency crews and a representative of the company that owns the phone arrived at the scene, but were also unable to free Fleming. Not knowing what else to do, ambulance crew members cut the phone off at the base and brought it and Fleming to the hospital.

I did not think it was even possible to get your fingers stuck that badly in a coin return slot. I guess I had better use those with caution! :eek: :lol:

I wonder if the MDs have a name for that procedure and I wonder if its covered by insurance?

Payphone-ectomy - removal of a pay phone from the person. Requires the services of a physician.

or

Dolt removal - removal of a person from the pay phone. Requires the services of a mechanic.

Who has higher rates? A physician or a mechanic?
