Heck Dave, seeing that you're bringing your own, you shouldn't even need their pole...

The sudden delpetion of blood from the systemic flow would probably endanger collapse.
Undertaking methods to keep this turgor would cause venous stasis and thrombous formation which in the short term would cause pain from hypoxia and require drainage by syringe, and if not treated could lead to gangrene.

And amputation. :eeeek:

We had a patient that required that. The story was he was trying to purge the impure thoughts he was having. It so happened that he was being treated by two junior female doctors so they relayed his thoughts to the blokes to try to gain some understanding. Basically we all concluded we had the exact same thoughts most of the time and felt no need to get a syringe and car battery acid and inject it into our testicles...

So... you guys... cut it off?

Not just "it", the other two were also too damaged to save.

Never seen / heard anything quite as messed up since where I work.

Education is worth everything, unfortunately the worth has been far outstripped by the cost of modern education. In reality, we as a society DO need people who work as janitors/police/gardeners/etc to have college degrees. The quality and intelligence of their work will show and we will all benefit from it. They will benefit by having a better understanding of personal finance, running their own business, keeping their families together and squeezing every bit of happiness out of their lives.

The beauty of this new reality is that education is becoming free or very low priced. Someone who went to Khan Academy and watched every episode would have a better education than most college graduates these days. The only thing seperating these people is a peice of paper and tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.

A national civil service test would help solve these problems. Universities would be relegated to their true status as large optional tutoring institutions, but an individual would be able to amass that information on their own by using the incredible resources that the internet has opened up for us.

Every child in private or public schools nationally could recieve world class lectures for info on a big screen and have a lower paid aid in the class to work out the specifics. Imagine the savings and benefit.

I could go on forever about the amazing and inexpensive future of education.
