Who needs Lorena Bobbitt
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
I am an Emergency Room resident at large county hospital in a big city.
I had a patient a couple of days ago, who after doing some PCP and cocaine, took a pocket knife, cut open his scrotum removed one of his testicles, burned it, and then placed it back in the scrotum. Then he proceeded to cut the tip of his penis off. After which he was brought to the Emergency Room, I believe by his wife.
The patient lived, but both testicles had to be resected, since for medical reaons if you severely injure one testicle the other one has to go too or you own body will reject it.
So even though he survived, he surely, did remove himself from the gene
pool.
(Addendum by the author) There are several corrections to the story. (1) My
bad, as Gregory correctly mentioned severely injuring one testicle does not
require resection of the other one; however, the injured individual usually
does become infertile because of the violation of the blood testes
barrier. (2) This should not affect the eligibility of the story, but the
patient was positive for Amphetamines, not PCP. (3) I have digital
pictures. I just need to obtain permission for releasing them.
