I would have gone nuts.
[i]I would have gone nuts. [/i]
well nut anyway.
Sounds like a right cock up
The locum surgeon was struck off in his absence and refused to engage in the proceedings.
Sounds like he knew that he was due a bollocking.
Oh balls!
Well, ball to be more accurate.....
I bet he was a bit teste when they told him
Bollock! You've taken all the good ones!
Crikey, they really dropped a bollock there.......

It's not funny for the person who's had their testicle removed though is it? Imagine if it were your testicle? You'd be a tad miffed, wouldn't you?
Probbly bang on on here about how the NHS is terrible and why they should bring back the birch and National Service and compulsory cigs for all under fives... 🙁
Ball breaker..... 😀
Medical notes made it "perfectly clear" the procedure was to be "excision of right epididymal cyst", a disciplinary hearing was told.The hearing was also told that in August 2006, Dr Al Hourani had injected himself with two milligrams (mg) of midazolam, a powerful sedative, which was meant for a patient.
Hospital staff said the doctor, who was on call, appeared unsteady on his feet and was later found in the doctors' mess room "deeply asleep" and taken to A&E.
Dr Al Hourani was issued with a final warning over that incident but was eventually dismissed by his employer
Final warning?? - I wonder what you have to do to get instantly dismissed?
It's not funny for the person who's had their testicle removed though is it?
Nope, but it's damned funny when it's someone else's - shadenfreude works like that.
However, I guess it's more the humorous story, rather than the missing testicle that's actually amusing. Must have taken balls to do that opp mind you...
Dr Al Hourani had injected himself with two milligrams (mg) of midazolam, a powerful sedative, which was meant for a patient.
WTF?
seriously WTF?
I'm surprised he didn't eat the erroneously excised ball after having 2mg of IV midazolam. That's a serious hypnotic / sedative.
Something about this story brought back memories of Jack Elam's hilarious turn...
Yes, he did get the sack.
The wrong one!
@Elfinsafety - I'm sure he has every right to be a bit miffed but it won't do him any harm, you only need one for anything I can think of...
If someone did that to me I would go absolutely nut.
...i'ld probably go of half cocked!
victim has apparently landed a big contract with radioshack cycling team - lucky really as he's lost his current job for impersonating hitler
Do you actually need two? Isn't it just greedy?
Well - that would have been my defence if I'd been an incompetent surgeon high on stolen meds.
However, I am convolescing at home myself after an, ahem, interesting op. It's fair to say the consent form I signed pretty much gave the surgeon carte blanc to give me a sex change if he'd wanted to.
Whilst he didn't go that far he did go a lot further then we'd discussed before hand......
Why do you need two balls anyway ? Will you miss one ?
If you dont want kids why bother with them anyway - think of the money he could sue them for. Might be a blessing in disguise.
Well, it is (I think) a medical fact that testosterone is a big part in male pattern baldness. So losing a love nugget might help you keep your youthful locks (sadly too late for me......).
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a half-sack.
this i didnt know before trying to find something amusing to do with this thread
every day is a school day
[i]Will you miss one ?[/i]
Possibly not, but having a spare has always given me some comfort...
Losing one won't make much difference to T levels but, of course, losing two would.
Much as it might be a solution to male pattern baldness, it has downsides, too: gynecomastia (moobs), lethargy, loss of "appetite" and you'll get brittle bones. not good.
I'm more surprised that the GMC/local trust didn't pay all his expenses for an extended stay at The Priory. That would seem to be an entirely justifiable use of taxpayers money to assist a highly qualified medical person with his..... errrrrr problems 8)
Striking him off is just not playing ball!
So - if I chopped them both off I'd have nice hair AND boobs!
I'll be back later......
I reckon the guy needs to pursue a new career as a cobbler.
Why do you need two balls anyway ? Will you miss one ?
Maybe the remaining one would get lonely?
A newtons cradle isn't much cope with only one ball.
