medic001918 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 With such a vague sceanrio, I'm going to question if it might be testicular torsion? If so, time is critical to get the patient to the hospital for surgical repair. Shane NREMT-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm....yeah....patient history, recent injuries to the balls/groin area...(pissed his wife off lately?), how long has he had pain?

AZCEP Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I'll throw testicular cancer in. This is kind of like diagnosing from the information that dispatch gives you. It will probably be something like a GSW, or cardiac arrest when we get on scene. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
