Fitting really. This story, in the first version I heard it, happened in a
> College of Surgeons of Ireland (RCSI) game, junior level, run around
> rugby.
> Story goes like this, in the course of the game a guy is unfortunate
> enough to dislocate his leg. He is screaming in agony. The pitch is full
> of trainee medics and they realise this fairly fast. They call an
> ambulance but also realise the quickest way to put the guy out of his
> agony is to push the femur back into the hip joint. They go ahead and do
> this.
>
> Unfortunately the screaming intensifies as a result, the poor guy has gone
> from occasional moans of agony to squealing like a pig getting
> slaughtered. Within a few minutes he has passed out from the pain.
> The reason? When they pushed his femur back into his hip socket, they
> managed to catch & snag one of his testicles along the way and ram it into
> the ball of the hip joint ahead of the femur they were trying to
> re-locate. When the bone snapped back into place the testicle was squashed
> immediately because of the strength of the ligament and tendons attaching
> the leg to the pelvic girdle. The guy lost his testicle and ruptured his
> vocal cords screaming in agony.
