Doc told me about a doctor at the hospital during his residency who tried to do it himself with his nurse wife assisting. He passed out and had to be ambulanced to the ER he was the head of. They never let him live it down

As a Paramedic who was once picked up by my coworkers, I can confirm the joking never ends.

In my case I had a kidney stone and my wife was away and was in too much pain to drive.

hey welcome, me too with the kidney stones, worst part was one of the medics that showed up was a female partner i had who i trained as her first partner. while i was on the floor crumpled into a ball, she playfully asked" are you in pain!?" She also threatened to drive real slow.

i did get flowers from my old company though a few days later, lol

well at least your situation was not self-induced.... so there's that.

still not a chance a friend or coworker will let you live it down though.

My stepdad was a surgeon and fixed the dogs himself.

LOL, I love knowing doctors are out there malpracticing on themselves. I would if I could.

I might be wrong, but I think dogs in this case are actual dogs, not his own testicles.

I heard a story from a med student about a guy that would fall asleep with an iv after a night drinking. Great hangover cure, only downside was when the bag fell down while he was asleep. He lived but work up ultra hungover

i'm not sure if that's arrogance or stupidity or a combination of both.

At least he didn't lose his head over it. Probably nicked it a bit tho.
