Beth came home from work sat down for dinner with Cathy. She wanted to tell Cathy about a little boy that became a patient on her Peds unit. His name was Michael, he was 11 years old. Beth said that his sister kicked him in the groin after he pulled her hair. Beth was in charge of Michael. She and another nurse Brenda took Michael into an exam room on the unit with his mother. Michael was in pain. They started removing his shirt, shoes and socks. He was wearing blue sweatpants which was removed with help from mom. Micheal was refusing and fussing. He said No because your girls. Beth smiled. They were able to get him out of his pants. Michael was weighed and measured. Then Brenda picked him up and carefully sat him on the exam table. They made him lay down and removed his underpants. Beth said his penis was red and hard looking. His little testis were red too. Brenda applied an ice pack to his swollen penis. Mommy was asked to raise his arms out of the way.

Michael was crying and fidgeting. Mommy tried to console her son. Beth told mom she needs to tale his temp. It must be rectal. Michael's legs were spread carefully and the thermometer was lubed up and inserted deep. The door opened and Dr Jo Anne Jones a Pediatrician came in. She greeted Mom and Michael. She approached Michael and put her stethoscope on his chest and moved it around. The thermometer was removed with no temp noted. Dr. Jones scope went to his belly. Michael was pleading NO No as her gloved hand went to examine his penis and balls. Beth told Cathy that she had to spread Michael's legs to give access for Dr Jone's exam. Beth said Michael's scrotums were really red and puffy. He was naked and is body was on display to all the women. Dr Jones told Michael that she will be touching his sore penis and testes. She asked Michael does he have to go pee pee?

Michael nodded yes shyly. Dr. Jones Helped him off the table and had me place a sterile cup under his little penis. Mommy encouraged him to go pee. Michael was so embarrassed. He eventually peed. Dr. Jones said good boy Michael. We will have this analyzed. Then back up on the table to examine his private area. Pressing and probing. Dr. Jones told his mother that Michael will be admitted for a day or two to get further tests. Brenda gave Michael a hospital gown and escorted by wheelchair to a room. Mom followed.

Beth told Cathy that she thought Michael had a cute little penis and balls.
