fenderfour Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 The following is the _Unusual_Case_ case column from the July 1991 issue of the trade magazine _Medical_Aspects_of_Human_Sexuality_, by William A. Morton, Jr. Scrotum Self-Repair One morning I was called to the emergency room by the head ER nurse. She directed me to a patient who had refused to describe his problem other than to say that he "needed a doctor who took care of men's troubles." The patient, about 40, was pale, febrile, and obviously uncomfortable, and had little to say as he gingerly opened his trousers to expose a bit of angry red and black-and-blue scrotal skin. After I asked the nurse to leave us, the patient permitted me to remove his trousers, shorts, and two or three yards of foul-smelling stained gauze wrapped about his scrotum, which was swollen to twice the size of a grapefruit and extremely tender. A jagged zig-zag laceration, oozing pus and blood, extended down the left scrotum. Amid the matted hair, edematous skin, and various exudates, I saw some half-buried dark linear objects and asked the patient what they were. Several days earlier, he replied, he had injured himself in the machine shop where he worked, and had closed the laceration himself with a heavy-duty stapling gun. The dark objects were one-inch staples of the type used in putting up wallboard. We x-rayed the patient's scrotum to locate the staples; admitted him to the hospital; and gave him tetanus antitoxin, broad-spectrum antibacterial therapy, and hexachlorophene sitz baths prior to surgery the next morning. The procedure consisted of exploration and debridement of the left side of the scrotal pouch. Eight rusty staples were retrieved, and the skin edges were trimmed and freshened. The left testis had been avulsed and was missing. The stump of the spermatic cord was recovered at the inguinal canal, debrided, and the vessels ligated properly, though not much of a hematoma was present. Through-and-through Penrose drains were sutured loosely in site, and the skin was loosely closed. Convalescence was uneventful, and before his release from the hospital less than a week later, the patient confided the rest of his story to me. An unmarried loner, he usually didn't leave the machine shop at lunchtime with his coworkers. Finding himself alone, he had begun the regular practice of masturbating by holding his penis against the canvas drive-belt of a large floor-based piece of machinery. One day, as he approached orgasm, he lost his concentration and leaned too close to the belt. When his scrotum became caught between the pulley- wheel and the drive-belt, he was thrown into the air and landed a few feet away. Unaware that he had lost his left testis, and perhaps too stunned to feel much pain, he stapled the wound closed and resumed work. I can only assume he abandoned this method of self- gratification.

And maybe I'll do a specialty in high altitude masterbation I mean medicine? Why didn't the guy use something BESIDES staples????? I mean, if it were me (fuck I'm glad its not) I'd use something like DUCT TAPE or, chewing gum........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greta Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Just saw a guy in the ED that had been injecting milk and beer into his scrotum. I asked him "why milk?" It had been going fine until he managed to break the needle off in his sack. Im not sure how he did this, but it was clear that he had misplaced the sharp upon viewing the xray. The whole while, he was pretty nonchelant about the event. He wasnt in much pain, but likely sterile now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizard_brain Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 ...I'm just wondering who in the shop FOUND this "avulsed testis", and what they thought it was! And if they didn't find it, is it still there, shriveled and stinking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different story for the girls. ...against the canvas drive-belt of a large floor-based piece of machinery. This seems likee a bit much, even for you. "bedroom toys" shouldn't need a hard hat or safety glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
