I was a nurse in an old style psychiatric hospital some years ago. A long-stay patient, male early thirties, who had lots of girl friends in the hospital, decided to lop his full undercarriage off in the bath one day. Another nurse and myself managed to fish all the bits out of the water, rush him down to A&E, where he could have had it sewn back on but he refused.
He was a slim man , and once we had him back on our ward we had to give him salt washes to aid the healing of his groin. He was catheterised, and where his scrotum was he had just a small tag of skin, so he looked like a pre-pubescent girl.
It gave our male staff a few disturbed nights..as one sensitive soul said, ''really gives me the Willies..hur hur ''
The patient was visited by a number of his girlfriends, one of whom wailed''What you go and do that for..you had such a lovely winkie''
We asked why he did it too, and all he said was, ''Just fancied a change really''
He still had girlfriends, but things were not really the same , apparently.
