They do.

First the ER docs pump out ones stomach then they insert a tube into ones stomach and pump the charcoal in.

The docs insert a Ewald(large tube) into the stomach, which sucks out the stomach contents. When that it done, clean water is used to flush out the stoamch then charcoal.

Its not. IF the patient is resisting(biting the tube), the tube goes up the nose!
