We were working overseas in a third world country in West Africa where medical care is pretty horrible. Dirt floors in operating rooms and such. Luckily they have a clinic for expats where they can handle minor things, and if anything is major, they send you out on an emergency medical flight.
Around 3AM, my husband wakes me up with this panicky look on his face. He was in a cold sweat and his skin looked grey. He was holding his groin area. I asked him what was wrong, and he said he didn't know but that he woke up and it felt like his left nut was going to explode. He said he needed to go to the clinic pronto!
We weren't supposed to drive anywhere in the country without a driver and an armed guard. Also, they advise against travel after dark. Not the safest place to be! But I sprang into action....he had to go NOW! I drove him.
He was in so much pain on the way, he passed out. When we got there, I got him up and into the clinic. He moaned in pain and vomitted once. The night nurse called the doctor to come right away.
I listened to the one sided conversation of the Nigerian nurse...
"Sir...I think you need come to clinic right away..Dis man, he have serious pain in private paht."
PAUSE
"Sir...I give him Tylenol, do nothing Sir. Man need strong strong medicine. Big big pain."
PAUSE
"Yes Sir, I give Morphine and you come now now!"
Then he got a shot of morphine. It dulled the pain to a bearable level, but he was still in pain. She was amazed. She said, "I give strong morphine, and pain continue? Dis man in trouble."
Over the next four hours, my husband was visited by the general physician, a surgeon, and finally a urologist that they had to send for from the next town. They figured out he had TWISTED TESTICLE!!!
His testical twisted causing the tube leading to it to be twisted. This causes immense swelling and blood to rush to the area....oh yeah, and unbearable pain. The urologist had to numb him and do a lot of prodding and turned it back the way it belongs.
He said it is common in younger guys who are atheletes, especially if they run a lot. My husband is in his 40's and not an athelete...he's a manager and works in an office. The doctor looked at me. I said, "Don't look at me, I was asleep, I had nothing to do with this injury!! No matress antics in this situation."
Over the next week he had to take pain medicine, take anti-inflammatories, and wear tight fitting underwear.
My little pet name for him now is My Little Wing Nut!!
For future reference...pray to God that you never get your testicle twisted like this. It was an awful thing to watch and he said it hurt so bad that he wanted them to cut it off if they couldn't fix it!

Actually, after doing a simple google search, that "story" has been posted before on other forums.
Someone is a plagiarist.
