Risks of Scratching Your Testicles

Scratching your testicles can introduce bacteria, leading to infections like Fournier's gangrene. This serious condition requires prompt medical treatment and can be life-threatening. It is important to avoid unnecessary scratching and maintain good hygiene to prevent infections and complications.

...your balls.. As some of you may know, I'm a senior in nursing school, doing my rotation in the OR. Yesterday I got to see what happens when men scratch their balls and happen to get unlucky... seriously, you are taking your life in your hands every time you do.. this is what I got to see yesterday (obviously not my patient, per hippaa, but same problem)

Do you still live around Steven's Pass? I'm only assuming because your user name is Skykomish. I figure if you're using that name, being as it is a small ass town on the way to the mountains, that you must be from around the PNW. Plus, like many of our cities and towns, it is an obvious reference to a tribe of peoples that originate from here.

LMAO You really do get a warped sense of humor when you're in the trenches. I've worked restaurant for a hella long time and when you're amongst people all the time, it shows. When my sister was in the hospital after a motorcycle accident, all twisted, broken up..I leaned over, kissed her forehead and shouted.."IF YOU HEAR ME E...FART..SOMETHING.." That ER nurse cracked up, howling with laughter and actually left the room. And I was laughing WITH her.

Hehe, there was this one time my Mom was in the emergency room after having been in a car accident. She was upset and shaking and she asked me if I had any candy. I didn't so I asked the doctor examining her, "Doctor, do you have anything hard my Mom can suck on?" LOL! My Mom blew up and the doctor blushed. Eh! It was my Mom's reaction that mattered.

ROFLMAO!!! When I was carrying my son I was getting an exam, he was grousing about a nurse having to be in the room. I said "It's to make sure you aren't depraved." He claps an eye on me and said "Well it's a LITTLE LATE FOR THAT NOW!" And to laugh when you're in stirrups is just more hilarious yet.

Yeast infection. It makes you itchy ( I had one once taking mass amounts of antibiotic, NOT FUN ) but you don't go around clawing at your vagina like one possessed. You take your medicine and apply the ointment.
