The Bigger the Better 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
While working in th ER of a local hospital in Tampa, Fl we had a young man in his late 20's come in complaining of scrotal pain. The triage nurse sent him to a waiting area, where he was called for approx. 2 hrs later. Once in the room, the young man insisted that his girlfriend, who had been lovingly holding his hand and commiserating with him, leave the room while he was examined. The examination revealed that his scrotum was grossly distended and severly swollen, approx. 16 inches in diameter and distended to around mid thigh. Being a male nurse, I felt quite a bit of sympathy for his predicament.
I asked the young man how this had happened, and after a lot of hesitation he finally confided that he had bought a kit online and injected 500 cc of normal saline into his scrotum with the IV kit. He was attempting to make his scrotum appear larger to impress his girlfriend, who had remarked at some point that he did not have "big balls" like her last boyfriend.
The young man had developed a severe case of cellulitis, requiring large doses of IV antibiotics and a 3 day hospital stay. The Dr. informed the young man he had put tremendous internal pressure in his testes, and might be sterile because of it.
And he still tried to hide his affliction from his girlfriend as he was moved upstairs to his room.I don't know how long he was able to keep the charade up with his girlfriend, but he had proved to the ER staff that he had big balls. Submitted on 09/13/2003
