Had to go in to the clinic on a saturday this week for my hours to add up which meant being on call. It was a fairly calm day though only 2 OR were open.
The only interesting thing to happen were a male with urinary retention where the urological ward nurses couldn't get a catheter in because of swelling in the penile head. And they sure as hell know how to do it usually. So he came down to have his foreskin cut during local anaesthetic and get a catheter.
Only when the urologist got started what he'd thought was the "top" of the head and where the urethral opening was supposed to be was actually some kind of lump... And the actual urethral opening was way down to one side which was why they hadn't been able to insert a catheter earlier; poking in the wrong spot! ;)
So when the poor guy finally got a catheter the bag filled with over a litre in 10 minutes o_o ouch
