Straight Up

Upon notification that he'd have to have a straight catheter, today's patient announced to his sister and elderly parents, "Sorry, you guys are gonna have to leave. I have two beautiful women in the room who want to play with my winkie."

Needless to say, due to what appeared to be either prostate issues or my novice hand, it wasn't a totally painless event, so when the family was ushered back into the room following the procedure, the poor guy just grimaced and winced at the onslaught of "winkie" quips.

Catheterization is less fun (for everyone) than it sounds.
