The most male and female reasons to be admitted to the hospital
Interesting, especially with the numbers on the right. Good chart.
As a cyclist I both love and hate how many separate ones there are

And at the opposite end of the spectrum, how many elements for pregnancy there are as well! (And no specific Delivery, but Outcome of Delivery. Do people in US not usually give birth in a hospital?)

Edit: Not US but England

This chart is for people in England.
Thanks for pointing it out! Lemmy is so US centered I didn’t notice
lol, someone downvoted your candid opinion.
🤷‍♂️
Explains the lack of gunshots compared to stabbings.
this chart is for anyone interested in charts, don’t gatekeep charts!
Dunno about people in the US, but this chat says the information is from England. I’m guessing delivery is included in one of the other categories.
This is NHS England data, so not likely to be affected by whether people in the US usually give birth in a hospital.
Birth centers are incredibly common now. And home births are preferred among certain people, like anti-vaxers and sovereign citizens
It’s mostly people with inadequate medical coverage who can’t afford insane surprise bills.
In the US the hospital is most common but there is a growing movement for alternative birth methods, birthing centers, at home births, being strapped to a wall and having crystals shot at you until your baby just sort of materializes, etc
That’s creative. I’d love being bombarded with raw amethysts while I’m breaking waters
Amethysts and essential oils. Men know there is only one essential oil… WD40.
While there are fringe anti-science people pushing for home births, the main cause is lack of health insurance/fear of unexpected bills.
I know a number of home-birthed people, including myself, and I could not describe a single parent of theirs as being anti-science. Also this graph is from English hospital admissions so cost/bills would never ever enter the equation.

Part of my job is fitting people with custom bracing in the trauma ward. I realized this wasn’t the US because there were so many cyclists, and it was lacking an atv category.

In my state the trauma ward has an ATV season. Also, I’m surprised there wasn’t a subcategory for pool injuries, or at least a category for slip and falls. Are swimming pools not very popular in the UK?

Very few people have swimming pools at home, if that’s what you mean.
We just go to the local puddle during the rainy season, typically between January and December.

the local puddle

to slip and fall?

General slip-and-fall doesn’t seem like it would be highly gendered. Do you find pool injuries are overwhelmingly one sex?
My assumption would be that males would tend more towards risky behavior around a pool.

General slip-and-fall doesn’t seem like it would be highly gendered.

The amount of falls I’m guessing is fairly similar, but older women are a lot more likely to end up in the trauma ward from it. For one there are just more old women than old men in my area and they are far more likely to have osteoporosis.

Do you find pool injuries are overwhelmingly one sex?

I generally see a lot more young men and boys from injuries from the pool. More rough housing, diving, and running around on wet concrete.

Seriously. As a downhill biker I count at least 5 lines for me:

Cyclist, Object Collision
Cyclist, Other
Cyclist, Non Collision Accident
Assault, Sharp object (my shins and calves are constantly being torn up by my fucking pedals. fuck those grip screws)
Struck by sports equipment

Clipless will save your shins :)
And how many admissions compared to motorcycles there are.

I feel like it needs more obviously only male ones to counteract the obviously only female.

Where’s testicular cancer? Prostate? “Dick stuck in [object]”? You know that last one has to have at least 1000 entries.

Object stuck in arse is the classic, if the anecdotes of my medical professional friends are anything to go by. Although maybe that’s already covered by “Assault: blunt object”
“Don’t threaten me with a good time” eh?
Females have arses too…
I’m not sure that’s in dispute?
They don’t poop, why would they have one?
That’s right. Nature don’ts make stuffs for no reason’.
If girls had buttholes they’d also fart so definitely fake news!

You’re saying that it’s apparently a male only issue if you think it should be on the men’s side.

Would it be surprising, no, but it’s probably gonna be a pretty even split.

I would put a lot of money on it not being an even split. The stories I’ve heard from hospital colleagues always involve men, to the point where one nurse I know wanted to add a plea in a local Facebook group to ask men to stop shoving household objects up their arse.

I think women have the wherewithal or easier access to proper tapered toys. Men see a tube shaped object and go “yep, that’ll do”.

I think women have the wherewithal to use, or have easier access to, proper tapered toys. Men see a tube shaped object and go “yep, that’ll do”

Some of this definitely comes from stigma, it’s relatively normal for women to have sex toys, regardless of relationship status, but it’s seen as sad and loser/gooner behavior if a man has sex toys. Add in inconvenience of penetrative sex toys really only being effective for prostate play for men (whereas women can use penetrative sex toys both to simulate vanilla PIV sex and for any amount of increasingly kinky fantasies) and you have the perfect recipe for horny men curious about ringing that male G-spot using whatever seems relatively safe and appropriately sized

Cool. Doesn’t mean you need to be a dick about it.

Love that the name-calling starts once I’ve provided evidence to back up my claim. This is called an ad hominem attack, or narcissistic rage, in case you ever want to bring it up with your therapist. I don’t know how old you are, but it’s common in children, where they’re not emotionally equipped to manage the frustration of being proved wrong.

May the internet never change.

lol. You’re the one saying men are assaulting their ass. L

Projection much?

Love it, absolute textbook 😂

I can see how you managed to get a rating this low.

Oh no, I got called out for being sexist, better insult the person and now make the internet know exactly how petty I am by this^

There’s the projection you mentioned. You did the insulting. Called me a dick, an ass and ignorant, after I posted evidence to back up what I said. Sounds pretty petty to me.

I haven’t insulted you or called you names, I’ve just brought receipts.

“Oh no, the consequences of my actions”

“Oh no, the consequences of my actions”

Yes exactly! Act like a sexist dick and you’re gonna be called out once in a while. You don’t need to insult directly to be a horrible person.

The deflection is world class, I applaud you
My guess is it just doesn’t usually get you admitted to the hospital. They can usually help you out in the ER and send you on your way.
It’s probably also “foreign object in body” and covers all holes, so the females are “watered” down maybe? More options, less results in each, common data issue.
I’d be zero percent surprised to learn that men get stuff stuck up their arse more than women.

I live in a town which has a hospital that supports a large geographical area and as such is a major employer in the town. Many of my friends work there.

It’s always men.

You know, a lot of women online complain about the idea that men are more horny than women, but I’d say they need to get their lost object in anal cavity numbers up if they’d like to differ.

hi, husband here

i am the arse

On the one hand, all the pregnancy-related items are of course very important – but they’re not particularly illuminating on a list like this. If there was a “Testicular Torsion” item marked as 100% male, that wouldn’t really tell me much here either.

Uh oh

Yes, yes. Entirely legitimate issues about gender identity aside, I think we all know my point here is strictly about biology.

This is why I hate this whole issue. For decades we use male and man and female and woman interchangeably. But now theres all sorts of people just waiting to pounce with “Well, actually…”. And then, if you do say male, its fine. But if you say female, you get “Oh, look. Another incel saying female!!”.

Seems like its not about communicating effectively, and more about just shitting all over things people say for worthless internet points. We all know what you meant. And it was a good point. But here we are, side stepping into this mess instead of staying focused on your point. Its all just so silly.
