Today, I walked into an elderly man's room in the hospital I work to give him his food. After he struggled to sit up, I noticed his hand move down towards his crotch. He looked me straight in the eye and said, "I have to do this to my scrotum because it gets sweaty and sticks to my leg." FML

I guess you could say he had the... balls to say it!

Let me get this straight, you watched him struggling to sit up (without apparently helping him out) and then you got offended because he is having natural body issues? I don't think the hospital is the right place for you to work OP...

You wouldn't want him to have a bad case of bat wings would ya? It's most uncomfortable.

the old man is human op, you DO work in a hospital, wake up and realize people are vulnerable for gods sake. grow up its hardly a FML its just life.

I think he was just trying to make you understand he was not being a perve.

Don't act like your scrotum doesn't get sweaty and sticks to your legs.

So true

After reading all of your comments, I'd just like to verify that I'm only 15. I've been working at the hospital for about two weeks now. I did help him sit up, with the help of another CNA. I certainly laughed it off, but I didn't actually think this was going to be posted! :)

Still he shouldn't be saying that to someone your age.

Must be a .... "Sticky situation"

It sounds like he was apologizing...

Yeah but at least he explained himself in a pretty decent way and didn't just start grabbing around down there and make her think he was doing something else

Or maybe he didn't wanna think about it, maybe he just wanted to get down.

He was just explaining himself, nothing wrong with that.

And sick people don't always have the best self censors. During my heart attack, they had me on morphine and some of the weirdest crap came out of my mouth. I had the medical staff cracking up.

Some places allow an internship for young CNAs, #116. As for the OP being a CNA at 15, it may just be basef on the state on what age you can take classes to certify.

Very good. A lot of people were probably thinking some thing else like we know where their minds are

Well at least your not thinking of the pain. I'm on three morphine pills a day with an instant relief one and it does make the pain a little more bearable and can get a little sleep then. Good luck with whatever problem you have and a speedy recovery as well

OP it happens all the time to all guys. It isn't abnormal or weird in any way. And he explained himself using scientifically correct words.

Aren't these supposed to be anonymous?

#117 - I thumbed up your POS reference...

op never said they were a CNA. they are probably a volunteer. that's why they were bringing the patient food.

Natural body issue or not, most people can afford to wait until they are alone. Or he could at least ask op to get him a glass o water or anything that would get him out of the room. I understand that we are talking about an elderly man here but not all of them develop mental issues.

All of them? I hope you live long enough to have someone your current age to talk about you like you're a piece of shit.

I think you'll find he said NOT all of them....

I'm assuming that you're a lady and have no idea how uncomfortable and potentially painful it is to move when your privates get tangled up or stick somewhere. There is no subtle way of fixing it, if you're walking, you'll either start taking awkwardly long steps, waddle oddly or walk a bit sideways in the hope of your balls untangling and not getting crushed. It looks ridiculous, and it feels pathetic.

I dont understand how this could be an fml at all. he obviously has a hard time moving around and you are a nurse/ nurse aide. you should be used to alot worse things then that. now I would understand this being an fml if he wiped his ball sweat in your hair or on your face but all he did was adjust his boys.
