Shy Penis And A Fire Reward

"Where is your penis?" I can't believe that my coworker asked her patient that, but she insists that she did. I can understand wondering that. I've been in that situation myself, where you need to do something to a penis and it's not there, but I would never say anything. I just look, palpate and probe until I find it.

The poor guy just said that he would pull it out for her. He was morbidly obese, plus uncircumcised, which led to the penis being completely internal. He reached in, extracted it and handed it to her. She lost her grip and it snapped back in like a tape measure. He had to reach back in and pull it out again. She got him catheterized, but I wonder if he'll survive the humiliation. Dating must be hell for him.

The speakers at work blared out, "Code red, eighth floor, manual pull station." This was repeated several times as the doors automatically slammed shut, the fire alarmed chimed and the strobe lights flashed. We have code reds all the time, but not on my floor. Within seconds employees from other floors, carrying fire extinguishers, came running from the stairwells. It was all quite dramatic and must have been scary for the little kid who pulled the fire alarm for the fun of it.

Afterwards, a manager gave the kid a carton of juice to help him feel better. I'm not saying that we should have beat the kid up, but isn't that sending the wrong message to reward him for wrong behavior? The next time he's thirsty, he may pull another fire alarm.
