Answer by someone not in Quora, so I just publish on behalf of her/him…
My boyfriend, who is a urologist, and nurse both didn’t know what to say when patient R. took off his clothes.
The green end of the plastic cord protrudes from the glandular opening (urethral meatus) of the patient. The diameter of the cable is about 0.3 inches (about 7.5 mm).
When asked how this thing got inside his penis, he couldn’t give a clear answer. All he said was:
“I just pushed him in.”
(Let’s not even imagine why he did it.)
Examination showed that the cord was actually very long, and most of it filled her bladder, which was completely blocked.
After surgery, a cord longer than 7 feet (2.14 meters) was successfully removed from the patient’s bladder.
About a year later, a patient went to the emergency department, and my girlfriend was called.
Patient R., again.
With long, thick plastic wires stuck in the urethra.
This time the cable is blue.
