A couple of years ago the SEADOC (Folkestone) duty doctor was called
out to attend to an adult male with excrutiating pain in his penis.
It turned out that he had had himself pierced to accommodate a gold
ring, with ensuing infection meriting a call to the doctor at 1a.m.
This was written to commemorate the episode:
The decorative merit is clear
Of having a ring in your ear
But a metal detector
Can't help to erect yer
You have a strange hang-up, I fear
You illness is not all that great
For the surgery next time please wait
But don't fear for the cost
It's the taxpayer's loss
And at least it's the lower night rate
Your problem is terribly small
And it needs no attention at all
Whilst you may be performing
At two in the morning
Spare a thought for the doctor-on-call.
We thought this was far more salutary than "Be nice, think twice", but
the Department felt otherwise....
