"It's not every day you see a
scrotum that size," recalled William A. Morton,
a retired Pennsylvanian urologist. "It was twice the
size of a melon, black and blue, and it stank. The
patient told me that he'd injured himself a month earlier
in the machine shop where he worked. I nearly passed out
when he told me he knew enough about doctoring to
close the wound with a heavy-duty stapling gun.
Later I removed eight rusty one-inch staples from the
scrotum, and reconnected the stump of his spermatic cord,
although the left testis was missing. "After the operation , the patient broke
down, and confessed what had really happened. Apparently,
he used to masturbate in his lunch hour by holding his
penis against the canvas drive-belt of a machine, but had
lost concentration one day and leaned too close to the
belt. His scrotum had been caught between the pulley and
the drive belt, and he ended up being thrown across the
workshop, and straight through a windows. Too stunned to
realise that he had lost a testicle, he stapled up the
wound and resumed work.
"He assured me that he would
abandon this method of self-gratification from now on,
and buy a sex doll. Sorry, but I think he needs
psychiatric help."
