ER doctors reveal the weirdest things Americans got stuck up their butts — yes, the government keeps a list

There is always a lot of debate, even going all the way up to Congress, about how the federal government can stay updated on healthcare trends better for the benefit of all Americans.

They have also been taking note of exactly what type of item was stuck there in the first place.
