Would a doctor believe that a man's ex-wife or ex-girlfriend banded him while drunk? Would the same doctor believe the man if he refused to press charges if the man said it was his fault, that he had abused his ex and deserved to be banded? Would a doctor believe that the man didn't wake up in extreme pain because he was drunk? Would the doctor be obligated to call the police?

Would an ER doctor believe a man who said his wife or ex cut off his testicles in a fight and flushed them down the toilet? Would this keep the man from the psyhchiatrist and embarrassment?

Believe? Sure, but it would keep charges from being pressed again your wife or ex. You'd just transfer one trouble for another, and from yourself to another at that.

I am not a legal expert by any means, but here I go...

No! A doctor would probably not believe it. Would you?

Laws vary from state to state. In some states you need not "press charges" for action to be taken. The state will do it anway. I know doctors are required by law to report some types of injuries such as gun shots. I don't know about castrations. You would most likely still be locked up for observation (suicide watch). Filing a false police report might also get you charged with a crime and on the evening news too.

The best way to minimize embarasment would be to tell the truth. Even then you will probably be held for psyciatric evealuation before being released.

While you might convince them to believe it, if this were the case, it would be all over the news and they'd be out looking for a suspect.

"Mad castrator on the loose!" the headlines read...

If you accused another, then they'd be up on charges for assault and who knows what else. All in all, a bru-ha-ha just waiting to explode.

Would a doctor believe it?

I am not a doctor and I would not believe it. Even the newest intern has read tons of case files on castrations, any experienced doctor has read even more, and maybe even treated a few cases themself. NO, I do not think a doctor, or the responding police officers would believe any story like that.

Back in the stone age (1985) when I was studying in college, I remember in the EMT certifying course that I went to, there was a bit of text covering castrations in the book. The instructor told the class, that ever since a (then relatively new) drug craze of "angel dust," had caught on, that self castration had occured with a much higher frequency than ever before. He said that there were a LOT of cases in the L.A. area, and that just as it said in our textbooks, the common behaviour was to flush the testicles down the toilet.

That was ONE low level EMT course from 1983, I am CERTAIN that any doctor has read many times that ammount on the subject. If you look long and hard, you MIGHT find a doctor who would PRETEND to believe that story, but I doubt it. But a doctor MIGHT go along with the implausable story of "drunken stupor banding and forgot..." still, I am pretty sure that there would be a trip to the psych ward for any new eunuch arriving at the E.R.

If your castration is a done deal, I'm not sure why you're fussing about what to tell the doctor. There are two easy, and true (depending on your situation) things to say to the doc: First, "I lost my testicles when some sex play went very wrong in 2006." Second, "I had my testicles removed to control a wildly overactive libido. I was afraid I might commit a sex crime if I didn't. Maybe it wasn't the best thing to do, but it's done now." And just to be safe, "I don't remember the urologist's name, it was in (name a state or country).

Physicians have seen it all, trust me. Some things I've seen over the years (I'm not a doc, btw, just worked in health care.)

Diagnosis: "Large foreign object in rectum." Male, 25, pink vibrator. (get dildoes with balls boys!)

Diagnosis: "Rubber ball (racquetball?) in vagina." Female 55.

Diagnosis: "Toilet paper holder in rectum." Retired clergy, 83.

Diagnosis: "Latex glove in rectum." (At least they were using safe sex.)

And on and on.

Just be honest.
