I was having a bad day, when I got this on the email.
I posted it in jokes because I am not sure how true it is. However, if it is true, this is one hurting individual.
Oh also:
Due to the graphic nature of this post, reader discression is advised.
Last week (though I never saw it), happened in a College of Surgeons Rugby
game. Story goes like this: In the course of the game a guy is Unfortunate
enough to dislocate his leg. He is screaming in agony. The pitch is full of
trainee medics and they realise the nature of The problem fairly fast. They
call an ambulance but also realise the quickest way to Put the bloke out of
his agony is to push the femur back into the hip joint. They go ahead and do
this. Unfortunately the screaming intensifies, the poor Guy has gone from
occasional moans of agony to squealing like a pig getting slaughtered, and
within a few minutes he has passed out from the pain.
The reason?
When the medics pushed the man's femur back into his hip socket, they
managed to catch and snag one of his testicles :eek: along the way and ram it into
the ball of the hip joint ahead of the femur they were trying to re-locate.
When the bone snapped back into place the testicle was squashed immediately
because of the strength of the ligament and tendons attaching the leg to the
pelvic girdle. The guy lost his testicle. He also ruptured his vocal cords
screaming in agony.
And you think you're having a bad day.
