This blog entry is dedicated to all female physicians, who embark on this already very male dominated environment with a distinct disadvantage - not being familiar with the make and feel of normal testes.

Apart from their importance in the famed term 传宗接代, they are actually pretty useless things that get the other gender into trouble. For example, they could be undescended -> leading to higher chance of cancer, or they could get twisted around themselves leading to not just decreased fertility but also undergoing necrosis, getting infected, causing toxins to circulate through the body (thereby attacking the other testis) blah blah…

Anyway, apart from reminding myself and all others to ALWAYS CHECK FOR TESTES PRESENCE AND LIE in cases of abdominal pain especially…

Sometimes it’s just NOT easy to find the darn things!!!
