Ouch.....................

The story of the month so far must be: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/8630592.stm

This is not funny, it really is not – the man must be beside himself, apart from limping. What did this guy do in an earlier life to cause this catastrophe to befall him? We all know Hitler only had one Ball but then he also had a brain of a similar size to compensate.

Exactly how much compensation does one get for this complete medical fuck up? No doubt the insurers will be arguing one ball is better than none and that the bloke should be grateful! Wilt is sure he is grateful, yes!

What was however amusing (forgive me) was this quote:

“Sarah Prichard, counsel for the GMC, said the mistake was made as a nurse helping the surgeon turned her back to get a stitch.

When she turned around the testicle had been removed.

Ms Prichard said: "Literally as the nurse turned away to get a transfixion stitch, the incident occurred and the testicle was removed.

"Such was the level of concern they immediately realised it could be a serious medical incident and took steps to complete the relevant documentation."

That last sentence is rather telling, Wilt thinks – it’s a “oh fucking God” moment that will haunt you forever. And what do they do? Fill in a form!

I am sure that this may have not happened in the sequence suggested by the article by the BBC author but it does suggest medical staff ignored the decapitated testicle, appearing like a half peeled onion sat on the operating table, whilst they filled in some tick boxes on a form – quite what this form may appear like is speculative but equally baffling, as in what is it headed – Oooooops!

I like those Ooooops forms – something akin to a GSCC form titled “Another Fucking Balls Up.”

How exactly did they explain this utter folly to Mr X when he woke up?

“Mr X – the good news is that the surgery was successful...................”

“The bad news is in the form of a question, which is whether you ever wondered joining a choir or in fact going that bit further in your sex realignment?”

Mr X responds in a high voice: “You fucking utter twat.”

Anyone who finds this report funny should need to go to therapy or church (etc) or indeed simply reflect on life.

Wilt is off to meditate.
