This story, reported in the press few weeks ago, happened in a College of Surgeons Rugby game. Story goes like this, in the course of the game a guy is unfortunate enough to dislocate his leg. He is screaming in agony. The pitch is full of trainee medics and they realise this fairly fast. They call an ambulance but also realise the quickest way to put the guy out of his agony is to push the femur back into the hip joint. They go ahead and do this. Unfortunately the screaming intensifies as a result, the poor guy has gone from occasional moans of agony to squealing like a pig getting slaughtered. Within a few minutes he has passed out from the pain. The reason? When they pushed his femur back into his hip socket, they managed to catch & snag one of his testicles along the way and ram it into the ball of the hip joint ahead of the femur they were trying to re-locate. When the bone snapped back into place the testicle was squashed immediately because of the strength of the ligament and tendons attaching the leg to the pelvic girdle. The guy lost his testicle and ruptured his vocal cords screaming in agony. ------------------ Pollution is Killing the Earth..... and the main rockets forum!
Smeg, That is one of the most painful things I have ever read. My testicles hurt just thinking about it, and I am starting to get nauseous. ------------------ Give me ambiguity or give me something else.
what is it with you and pain . ------------------ Lisa : Dad did you know The Chinese use the same word for Crisis as they do for Opportunity? Homer: Yes! Crisis-tunity!
How the hell did they manage to catch a Testical that far inside the leg? Rocket River ------------------

Oh my.. That's all I can type.. Oh my.. ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
Who know's River, if you got the balls, why not go and try it out on yourself. ------------------ Pollution is Killing the Earth..... and the main rockets forum!
I'm with you -- I don't think it's possible (unless he had a major dislocated testical as well.) It's also very unlikely that anyone with medical training would try a blind hip reduction in the field. Urban legend? ------------------ Stay Cool...
Who the hell cares if it's an urban legend? It frightens me, and that is all I care to say. ------------------ Jazzkiller
In America, lawyers would be all over this guy wanting to file lawsuit after lawsuit. OUCH !! DaDakota ------------------ If you like RTS games, check out this one. www.frontierwars.com coming soon to a PC near you.
Ruptured his vocal cords....that's horrifying!! ------------------ My doctor says I am bipolar. I am going to get a second opinion. I have never had intimate desires for polar bears.
Actually River, it's not far fetched. All the kids have to do is seek shelter (pain, fear and chill occassionally cause this... and I doubt those shorts will keep the wind off of the fellas). Put your finger on your pelvic bone (the sharp things on your hips that hurt your wife). Reach down a few inches at a 45 degree angle. Do you feel your hip socket? Imagine your leg is dislocated inwards. You're already a matter of inches away from the boys when they're in full glory. Imagine if you weren't in hot arse Houston. Ouch. It seems very easy to get your testicle caught right there. ------------------ women love me, fish fear me.
I found a different version of this on the web: This is taken from the latest edition of FHM . When I was studying in Ireland , I took up rugby. As my first season wore on , the lads and I were eventually scheduled to play a team which had a reputation for violent play . Considering that we weren't the most talented outfit to have ever taken the field , we decided to accept the challenge with a " do or die " attitude , hoping things would eventually swing our way . They didn't and to make matters worse our star player dislocated his hip after a particularly ferocious tackle .He was clearly in a lot of pain , so we all stood back to which the medic who , in one swift movement , managed to slot the hip back into its socket . Then Alan began a long blood curdling scream . To our horror , we realised that one of his testicles had also been jammed into the socket and was now firmly held in the place by the hip . Incidentally , Alan managed to rip a vocal chord with his screaming. http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~jasper/everything.html Same story, different source: http://sites.netscape.net/transconsort/officehumour ------------------ I always thought "With my talent, it's only a matter of time before I'm discovered". Now I think "With my talent, it's only a matter of time before I'm found out". [This message has been edited by Behad (edited May 08, 2001).]
I dont care what the source is, I dont care if its a lie or not. it was a funny story. I am in a laughing mood, and I deffinately laughed. reminded me of my rugby playing days. also reminded me of all the funny injuries Ive seen. just plain good stuff. of cource when i dislocate my shoulder, tear my hamstrng, and seriously injure my ankle its not funny, but this goes under the Crisfarley school of humor.
