I can’t even begin to imagine what this man is going through. This poor guy’s gonna needs lots of therapy. His wife, too. I imagine he’ll wind up getting a shitload of money out of this one way or another, but I don’t think even that can begin to make up for what those doctors did to him. I just know I’m going to have nightmares.
I’m so sad for that man. So maybe they couldn’t wake him up in the middle of the badder surgery to discuss it with him, but you think they could have sent someone out to talk to his wife before they did it (or at least I’m assuming they didn’t, from his remark about neither of them being told it was a possiblity.) I can’t even begin to imagine how tramatic something like that has got to be.
Was I the only one that thought they should have stopped citing examples after the guy with no dick? I have never felt less sympathy for a woman who had both breasts removed…
When a friend of mine – well, acquaintance really, he dated my roommate in college – anyhoo, when “J” was a little kid, he wiped out on his bike, the seat came off and he seriously cut his scrotum – seriously enough that his little boy testicle sort of fell out (still attached to all it’s tubing, so he was sewn up and had no significant permanent damage.)
When the ambulance arrived to rush him to the hospital, the driver climbed out, checked the injury with his partner, and promptly fainted.
J said he wailed the entire way to the hospital – not because it hurt (which it did) but because he thought the hospital would turn him into a girl. He’d heard that “that’s what they did to little boys who really seriously hurt their wee-wees.”
Note: I’m not sure how accurate “his testicle fell out” may be. The memory was from J’s young perpective. Though if the ambulance driver fainted, I expect some parts that were visible that really shouldn’t have been.
