2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

I was working as a paramedic intern in Spokane, WA's Deaconess medical center in may of 2000, when late one night a gentelman approached our triage desk and reported that he had some stiches that he needed resutured. we then took his information and began to process him in, he did have a sense of urgency about him however. After he was brought back into the treatment areas he then fully disclosed the nature of the stitching ( he had merely said that the stiches were in a personal place). This man ha a large number of stitches in his scrotum, which he said was a work related injury. It turns out that a little less than a week previously he had been injured at work and gottne the stitches then. The man told us that he had been working the graveyard shift at a spokane valley manufacturing plant and had taken to masturbating on the job to releive tension and boredom. It seems that he enjoyed flipping his testicles on a moving conveyer belt for a massaging feel while he masturbated. On the first night he was injured he didn't notice the small snag in the staples holding the belt together, which caused his initial injury. but as i said, we were RE-stitching this man, apparently, according to the patient the first ordeal wasn't enough to get a message across to him, he tore his stitches out while doing it again on the same peice of machinery. It king of makes you wonder if they'll change the warning signs around machines with moving parts you know the ones that say "no loose clothing..."

I wonder if this mook learned his lesson the second time or if he was just too embarrassed to face you again and went to a different hospital the next time around! Great story, Matt! Thanks for sharing it with us.

It's enough to make your eyes water! There's masturbation and then there's . . . well, THIS guy. Sheesh!

This one is much like an older tale of the "gentleman" who snagged his manhood in machinery while masturbating then did a self-repair with staples. I guess these people are more common than we would like to think. Thanks for the story, Matt
