Prostate Exam Part Deux
Posted Apr 09 2009 7:15pm
So.... it was actually kinda fun. In a really weird way, I really enjoyed my afternoon at the VA Urology Clinic. I ended up seeing several patients with an attending, we did several different exams. I got to see a scope of the bladder, where we looked at the bladder, ureters, and urethral openings (including seeing urine get squirted into the bladder from the urethras - CRAZY!!).
And then, of course, there was the male external genitalia and rectal exam. Yep. Did that twice. The first guy was nice but very detached and not really interested if I was there or not. He was also really large, and so that made things a little more complicated. The second guy, though, was hilarious. So he starts telling stories and talking with his hands - all while I'm doing these two exams. And his stories were funny and I wanted to laugh, but not... while I was examining him.
So then I was stuck! I felt rude not laughing at his jokes, but then I didn't want to laugh... you know. Man, these are tricky situations we get ourselves into.
