Duty to act is a myth. The only duty I have when not on the job is to stop and put the patient on a nasal canulla with 2lpm of supplemental "it's not my problem anymore".

I was being sarcastic. I have sufficent personal experience to realize that if you use the wrong pickup line at a bar you may face some testicular pain, which usually goes away 5-10 minutes after the high heal is removed.While any testicular pain is bad and not normal, prolonged pain without a trauma/crushing cause is REALLY BAD!
And I was agreeing with you.

Do you have a link to the statute that creates this duty or to the rule from CDPHE?

:excl: Well, in that case... You are brilliant! :excl:
why do you carry O2 when not on duty?
Not trying to be the English police but just in case I have to use the word in a future report isn't it testicular torSion, not tortion?

Kids, don't make me come back there! Duh-OH!
B)
Cut to the chase. Nothing to be done at BLS level, potential for bad things, not in your protocols, so tell him to go see a Dr PDQ. Guessing at diagnoses is pointless and sounds like someone getting free medical advice from ouir Panel of Experts.
PS: Tortion is also correct, just a little more British; "Tort" means "to twist", (hence the word torture), torsion means " a twisting". As an adjective, the testicle is "torqued".
Is anyone else having a pucker moment here?

oops, that's what I get for reading after having a meeting with Julius Kessler (Kessler's whiskey for those that actually know more about medicine than alcohol)

Actually, if anything, I think this situation is just a tad twisted.
Your groans make me smile.

You are missing the required equipment to understand.
Sympathy pain.
Considering all the things that can go wrong with ovaries, I have little sympathy for twisty testicles.

That's cold...:sad:
But seriously...torsion is a true emergency that should be seen immediately.....You have roughly a 6-hour window in which to save the testicle, after which the ability to save the testicle decreases significantly.

It is time that that all Male Americans take a stand now and shout with one stong voice, "SAVE THE TESTIES!" I can see it now: t-shirts, bumper stickers, pins, a 30 second spot during the next Super Bowl. It will be awesome!
