I'd like to put this in the health section, but no one will see it. So just thought I'd share some crazy trauma stuff with all of you ER/Scrubs/House fans.

The following is termed, open fracture (meaning that there is a bone fracture and an overlying open wound) of the pelvis (near your hip).

The patient is male. Mechanism of injury was falling in the surf on the fin of the surf board.

Your comments are appreciated. Enjoy:

Here is a cartoon diagram of the fracture, so you have an idea of where it will hurt.

Hey guardsil do you have access to Fight Club. Cuz this thread is gonna get moved, if not deleted. Or maybe you( or the mods) could delete the first pic and only keep the illustration.

That's looks super painful. Emotionally and Physically. When you see stuff like this is just makes you respect your body so much more!

So how do you deal with the fracture? You put him on a brace and he stays bedridden for a long while? How will this affect his other prostate activities?

What if the man was wearing a crotch guard ( the ones cricketers normally wear) Would that have been on any help in possibly averting the fracture?

Hey Guardsil since you in ER could you plz give us ur expert opinion on the food poisoning cases that was in the news recently?

Yep I don't think stuff this gross will stay in the open forums for long...too many delicate hearts here.

Board fin between the legs OUCH....looks lucky it left his jewels intact.

MCL a cricketers' box isn't going to help a situation like this! It won't protect pelvic bones, just your 'love bone'

Wow - that looks super painful! Ouch! Yes the image is a bit too graphic! VOM!

Did that guy spray-tanned his nutsack or something?

Perhaps he forgot to wash it regularly

LOL

I reckon it's either severe bruising or he had a nasty rash in his youth that left it that colour...(or a transplant from a black man)....

Well, in that case...surgery didn't help long

Donations for this poor fellow please!

I can spare about 4 inches and still have 6 left which I guess is enough for anyone.

Or weren't you talking about that...?

Must be a 'huge' liability you got there.

Does it also curl in your panties when elongating?
You know, like them anaconda's?

I'd like you to tell me where you get those pants of yours made...you know, the ones with the third leg down the middle for comfort?
