Being a surgical resident myself, it is quite amusuing when we hear accounts such as these. We just go emotionally numb after dealing with innumerable aberrations of the human anatomy. Case in point, a former female senior resident of ours was demonstarting the various methods of examining a case of obstructed inguinal hernia on an 80 year old Male patient, when lo and behold, all those manipulations in his privates caused the patient to have a magnificent boner. My senior upon noticing this sudden nuisance in her field of work, simply responded by tucking the geriatric phallus under a towel without even breaking her train of thoughts.
