Saucepan on head

[Pottsy]

Has a child ever been admitted to hospital with a saucepan stuck on his head? Or is this just an urban myth?

Does happen. Though often enough the fire brigade are called instead.

My mother was in hospital and noticed the nurses looking out of the window at a child being led in.
It was a cake tin though.
I spent a day in outpatients having a gooseberry removed from my nose, and about a week as an inpatient waiting for a swallowed hairgrip to reappear. (I had reasons for my actions that were perfectly logical to me, at the time)
