Urology was interesting. I have seen the commercials but never would I have suspected that there were so many 80 yr old men on Vi.agr.a!!! I wanted to high-five each and every one of them! The two weeks went by pretty quickly and as of now I’m on another 2 week vacation to study for my surgery make-up exam and then on to the next rotation. I can’t believe I have about 20 weeks of school left. It’s kind of surreal.

But onto my topic for today. I’m sure you think this is about Coach but alas, it isn’t. He and I are really cool. I went out to support his Little League team the other day (he’s coaching to help out his friend- ah, mentorship is soooo sexy). But I digress. Last week I was with the doc when he had to tell a 22 year old that he has testicular cancer. The young man waited a month with terrible pain in his testicle before he came to the doctor. Now of all the cancers to have, this one is the most curable. But the problem is that the cure is to remove the testicle which can be quite traumatic for a guy (or so I have heard). This guy found out on Friday and had it removed on Monday. Talk about a whirlwind of a weekend. Surgery went fine, he’s at home for a week recuperating. So ladies, if you care about the man in your life, encourage him to do testicular exams monthly. For more fun, do it for him :) If you feel a lump or bump, tell him to get to the doctor! Most guys only go to the doctor when their significant other makes them so make him!
