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
. Then he started talking about how he never had visited Las Vegas, but 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas'
(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.
