"Cupcheck Season" --HELP PLEASE
I saw four doctors, and all but the last thought it was fine, until the last ordered an ultrasound. The swelling was actually getting worse in the cannon sense; more blood was flowing through, but because the testicle itself was marbeling and decreasing in size rather quickly, the fluid was taking up that space.
As for suing, I sustained other injuries as well that week, and the doctor said it could have been any one of them.
I sustained other injuries as well that week, and the doctor said it could have been any one of them. Could you please elaborate? This whole thing is rather upsetting and could be a learning experience us all.
In reply to: As for suing, I sustained other injuries as well that week, and the doctor said it could have been any one of them While it makes it harder to do so I would still push it thru.you can sue them all collectivly and let a judge decide not tomention you could still sue the school, sometimes it takes drastic action like that for them to get involved and put an end to it once and for all.When you say other injuries, do you mean other injrys ? or do you mean the same injury inflicted by more then one person at several different times on seperate occasions?
Basically I got hit by a basketball in the left testicle while playing a pickup game off campus, so as far as which injury did it, it could have been that, or if it WAS a torsion, which the doctor didnt think it was but it could be, it could have been a 100% random occurence.Sad thing was that there was no swelling or pain at all the first day, so the 4-8 hour window for saving that testicle was pretty much out from the beginning.
First off,
THAT is FUCKE UP
Im going to pull my cup out form the closet and wear it all the time from now on! *exaduration* I never knew a shot to the sack could cause a loss of a nut, thats horrible!.
second, I would still talk to an attorney and see what he says, thats his job and hes paid to know the ins an outs of the law and how to apply it not to mention he went to school for a hell of a long time to get that job.
You need to make the shool aware of this no matter what and pressure them to take serious action against anyone performing a cup check test.
and lastly, don't let it get you down, you still got one, your dick will still work and if anyone gives you shit about it let it go over your head. I would also play the sympathy car with girls :laughing: but thats because Im a bastard and use every advantage I could find when i was dating.
I feel upset also, sdp. I wasn't intending to blame you in any way - I felt bad about the advice I gave.I suppose what the first three doctors said shows that this was unexpected; but the fact that it happened shows that it can.
No No.. I didn't even take it that way. The whole thing was a surprise. I just feel upset that I/we didn't push him more to get it looked at earlier. Maybe it would have been futile in the end, but who knows.
The two of you seemed to of missed one thing.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sad thing was that there was no swelling or pain at all the first day, so the 4-8 hour window for saving that testicle was pretty much out from the beginning--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------by the time he posted, this wa already decided ( assuming I have my timeline right in my head and I may well not )I dont think either of you shoud be feeling guitly about it.Besides your both men, how many times you been busted in the sack and nothing ever happened after but some sore nuts and some sweing for a little bit?you two are not trained to deal with this and 3 docs who are trained missed it too.Something to remeber in the future certainly but I can find a reason for anyone here to feel guilty about it.
Yes but when he originally posted:This is my second day of injury, and it still hurts, though not as much. He still had pain and swelling 3 days after he posted making it 5 days post-injury and he hadn't seen a doctor about it.
True, and I read that the first time.Im basing my opinion on his other post after it was done.the 4-8 hour window for saving that testicle was pretty much out from the beginningWhen he first posted it was well after the 4 to 8 hour window he spoke of.Im assuming that time frame was information he gleemed from the Doc who did the ultra sound that led to the surgery.Like I said, shocked ? damn straight, but I can find no reason for you guys to feel guiltf.
