A man comes into the ER and asks to see a doctor immediately. When the
doctor comes, the man removes his pants. The doctor sees that the man's
scrotum is wrapped in soiled linen and has swollen to a size of a
grapefruit. Since the man doesn't want to disclose what happened, the
doctor proceeds with X-rays only to find that there are staples in the man's
scrotum. The doctor confronts the man so he finally tells his story.
The man is a wood-worker. One day, he decided to use his stationery
belt sander for some sexual gratification. Since he had done this many
times without incident, he wasn't worried. This time, he slipped and fell
onto the belt sander while it was operating at full speed. The man was
hurled a good six feet forward into the wall. After he recovered, he
discovered that he had torn open his scrotum. Despite the pain, he decided
to staple his scrotum together before going to the doctor. Unfortunately,
the staples were neither sterile or rust-proof. His scrotum became
infected and forced him to eventually go to the doctor.
The doctor cleaned the wound and fixed the man the best he could.
However, the accident caused the man's testicles to be ripped free from his
scrotum and had been lost. Due to all the blood and pain, the man never
noticed. By the time he visited the doctor, it was too late. He was
castrated by the belt sander.
