This one goes back to senior year in college. It was just starting to get cold around september, and I got sick. Got a cough and a cold but the cold kinda went away after a week or so. The cough however lingered and refused to leave. I didnt really care. My room mate Kris however started to get pissed off at all the coughing and kept yelling at me to go see a doctor. eh, didnt think much of it. Sure the cough were kinda bad, and they were came in bursts with usually flem coming up or some other nastiness, but it was infrequent enough for me not to care to go see the school clinic. I know all the clinic would do is just give me another cold bag with cough drops and send me on my way.
So one day in december, started coughing. And on the last cough, felt a small sharp pain... in my scrotum. yeah. didnt hurt too bad. decided then it was finally a good time to go down the clinic. So i show up at the clinic, there is one older lady doctor and a younger dude who is interning or doing his residency or something. anyways I got into a room and the older lady doctor comes in. I tell her about my cough spasms, getting over the cold, etc etc. we have some small talk for a little bit and she explains that it probably was a virus going around. she gives me one of the little baggies with cough drops and advil and tells me to buy some cough syrup. as she was leaving, i was like ".... yeah, one more thing ...." and went to describe what happened. her reaction was more of "oh really, thats interesting. well why dont you sit up here and we're gonna have to take a look...I'll be right back." The lady walks out the room. So I get to business, remove my pants and sit up on the little bench thing.
Old doctor lady comes in and asks " oh i asked our resident to help out, i hope thats ok"
"ummm... ok" -- what am i supposed to say, no? in walks that dude behind the old lady.
recap. Im sitting on the inspection table with no pants, wearing some stupid pair of boxers with a funny pattern of baseballs or bats and mitts on it with an another dude and an old short lady doctor putting on a latex glove. weird. okay so she tells me to remove my boxers and she starts fondling my balls one by one and asking me to cough for while she inspects each thoroughly. both of them are hovering right over me. after she has had her fill she calls on her intern person to go check and before i can object, hes all over my balls. fortunately he did his thing quickly.
so i thought i was out of the woods as far as inspecting my balls go. no sign of anything wrong fortunately. as i was pulling my boxers up the old lady doc said " ya know what, its better to be safe than sorry. so lets have another look." she went back in. awkward. either she is thorough or wanted to touch my balls again. whaaaaat ever. well nothing was found. her reason for the pain was that everything was connected and i should be fine. and i was. end of story.
i want to leeeeave work now!
