Weird night.

On call last night I got not one, but four, unrelated calls from four different wards on four different patients with four entirely unique medical problems. Every single one of these gentlemen was experiencing. . .

A bleeding penis.

And of course each of the four different nurses prefaced their call with "Hey, doctor, you probably want to come take a look at this."

(For the records, whenever a call starts that way, it will almost indefinitely lead to something I really really don't, thanks for asking, want to take a look at).

Now they each turned out to have four different and perfectly valid excuses for having blood in their urine.

But still. Really weird.

And awkward for me when I received repeat calls that evening:

"Hey doc, it's me the nurse with the patient with the bleeding penis. . ."

Me: "I'm sorry. . . can you describe which bleeding penis you're with?"
