\u201cSorry?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh it\u2019s not her birthday, I\u2019m one of her patients\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell yes Mr little, it certainly looks sore, but it\u2019s pretty common. The weight of those testicles must be causing you some discomfort too\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<don\u2019t say it, don\u2019t say it, don\u2019t say it><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUhuh\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet me get the nurse in here, she\u2019ll have just the thing\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOoh yes that\u2019s a nice one isn\u2019t it. I\u2019ve got a few dressings here, just apply…blah blah blah\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(I\u2019m presented with a 9\u201d square dressing and a roll of tape)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCan I cut it down? Not the cock, that\u2019s had enough, I\u2019ve been told it doesn\u2019t grow back stronger in the spring\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Not a flicker, tough crowd – they’re much tougher to crack than reception)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell you can, but you\u2019re better off using it whole\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow, I\u2019m not sure if you\u2019ve ever had a penis, but even with my very limited understanding of clinical practices, if I use that whole, I\u2019m going to be arrested on sexual offences or be asked to join the circus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, long story short I have some more suitable dressings and a dose of steroids. Although, considering the erections they give you it might not make any difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Royal Marsden, Sutton Branch.
