A nurse was instructed to give a male patient a sponge bath. The patient was wearing an oxygen mask, as he had suffered an extremely bad asthma attack.
The young nurse was told that she only had to wash him from the waist up, but the man on his oxygen mask said, “ Nurse, are my testicles black?” She pretended not to hear him, but he repeated himself: “ Nurse, are my testicles black?” She knew she had to do something, so, very gingerly, she looked under his sheet, then cupped his testicles in her hand. She looked at the patient and said, “ They seem okay to me sir.” The patient stared at her for a minute, then with exasperation, he lowered his mask and said very slowly: “Are…my….test results..back?”
