So there I am on break, outside with the rest of the filthy, stanky smokers flicks his Bic for solidarity, and I was talking about how I’ll have to schedule surgery to get my newly acquired inguinal hernia fixed. One of the ladies piped up with the oh-so helpful story of her neighbor who had an inguinal hernia in the same spot as me. When he went in for surgery, they accidentally severed the artery that fed blood to his left testicle. They were unable to repair the artery, so had to remove said testicle.
I told them, “Dammit, if I go in to get this fixed and end up getting castrated, I’ll kill myself.”
Without skipping a beat, one of the other ladies piped in with “Bullshit, you wouldn’t have the balls to do it.”
dont know who performed that surgery. an inguinal hernia repair is very minor. she is trying to scare you. perhaps it is even an urban legend!
i have a feeling the story is not true. plus, they do not go in that door, man. they cut in the pube area!
Ouch–That was insensitive of them…I agree with Phernoob though. Repairing an inguinal hernia is minor out patient surgery. My ex had it a couple years back with no damage done to his family jewels.
I was pretty sure the story of the guy who lost a nut was bogus, but that comeback was absolutely priceless.
You must have quite the collection.
