urethra quest.

By impactEDnurse • Jan 30th, 2007 • Category: the funnybone.

You know, on a clear night I can drop a line from the Southern Cross to find true south. I can plot a compass route through misty, mountainous terrain to reach safe haven. I can navigate my way across a busy city during peak hour with time to spare.
Ive been around the block once or twice. I know what’s what.

But I still get lost in a vagina.

    Ian, there are just some places that will always remain something of a mystery to man. This is one such, I think.

    Oh, and it sounds like you are/were a Boy Scout, member of the land-based military, or have an outdoor hobby like backpacking.

    In any event, and as one man to another, celebrate the differences!

    The worst are the ones who’s anatomy is straight from the textbook … you’d never think the urethra would be where it’s supposed to be! :-)

    What makes it even more confusing is how little old ladies urethra somehow migrates up into the vagina!

    ERnursey,

    I could explain it to you.

    But then it that would spoil the fun.

    Reading from my text book on the catherisation of female patients, it says that if you find yourself in the wrong hole, leave catheter in to mark which is the wrong hole and aim (with new tube) for the other. Is it really this hard? maybe we just need pictures on the catheter packs for male nurses to follow.
