Owie owie.
I wonder what nursecindy would say.

The patient had undergone testicle removal surgery. Two months after the operation, the patient noticed discharge from the scrotum and punctured the area himself, spotting white-coloured material in the wound.

The patient also complained of his subsequent penis implant causing, at times oozing, migraines.

Dave, you forgot the trigger warning on this one.

I once worked with a woman who developed a flesh-eating staph infection on her upper thigh. They packed a couple of feet of gauze down the inside of her leg.

As she healed, they eventually did get all of it out. Or so she thought, anyway.

Why did they leave the sack?

Dr. An Li Wan did the surgery, I suppose.


Call this a "semenal" event, just begauze.

Louis Vuitton needs to design an empty sack bag replica.

Shhh, if the hospital finds out about this they are going to charge you for the extra gauze.
