This guy will be able to continue to hodl his testicle. Not the call I wanted to get at 3:30 AM, but I am starting to enjoy the job again.

Testicular torsion? Ouch!

jeebus, πŸ˜†

hipaa what? ;)

There is no patient identifiers in this photo.

But since you brought it up, I doubt I will ever post another photo.

It’s a shame I can’t be proud of doing a good job and posting an educational photo without somebody bringing up HIPAA.

eh, i know the rules; wasn't trying to enforce them!

i appreciate good surgeons!

went to a torso lab for surgeon training when i ran the clinical research department for a company that made most of its money from hernia products.... many a gut was accidentally perforated!

when i had an abdominal myomectomy, i appreciated the surgeon who showed me pictures of the approx ten pounds of fibroids that were removed.

it's a fine line (i didn't see any moles on the junk you posted; not sure about date alignment in terms of phi)

Looks like it was strangulated a long time.

How long can such tissues survive without oxygen?
