'Be Tender'

Published

I had received an order to anchor a foley on an elderly man who was retaining urine. I explained the procedure to him, telling him that a male nurse was available if he felt uncomfortable with a woman doing it. He declined the offer and began telling a story of Adam and Eve, which involved a rib and birth, after which he said 'so you see why I can't have a man do it'. I told him I understood and proceeded with preparations, during which time he began talking. He told me how his wife had been dead 30 years and they always had a good sex life :uhoh3:. Then he started talking about how he never had visited Las Vegas, but 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas':lol2: (I am assuming he was talking about legalized prostitution?). Then he says..... ' be tender'....:rotfl:. I about lost it at that point. Unfortunately, the catheter insertion attempt was short-lived.... he had a severe urinary meatus stricture and the 14Fr catheter could only be passed a quarter of an inch. I high-tailed it out of there and laughed to myself as I notified his female MD. I've never had a patient equate a catheter insertion with SEX before.

I did once... middle-aged guy who while I was inserting the cath yells "OW OW OW... OH MY GOD IT HURTS!!!" over and over. Then he orgasmed.

:stone

Very few things get me rattled. But that did set me back on my heels a bit...
