Yes, this is a true story. Most people know that I have a bad back, but it's been pretty dang good lately. Yesterday is was kind of sore but still ok. In the wound clinic, this woman had a sore in between her cheeks, so I had to hold it open. This wouldn't be too bad but I was in a very awkward position. She was laying down, I was sitting behind her legs and had to twist to hold her cheeks open because the dr was directly behind the sore. Now I can barely walk. Amazing. And yes I know this story sounds hilarious. I thought my sister was going to pee her pants when I told her what I had to do. It's funny because I don't even think twice about this stuff, but to nonmedical people it sounds crazy.
Another funny penis story. This poor elderly gentleman came in with his wife because he was having prolonged rash in his groin. His wife did all the talking since she's taking care of him. Well apparently this man is incontinent and refuses to have a Foley cath kept in, so his underwear are constantly wet, keeping it a perfect place for a rash. Well his wife tried using a condom catheter (I had to look this up). She said it was difficult to use on him because "His penis is just so flacid and the directions say to slide it (catheter) down his penis but it just gets sucked up there so all you see is his head and testicles." Okaaaaaaay. Super weird moment and this honestly took a lot of self control to not smile. Then she says "Dr, what size is his penis so I know what size to buy?" I felt awful for this man. It's one thing to have the male doctor here the story, but the young female med student, that kind of stinks.
Thanksgiving- I'm going to write a post about this later.
