Baby Face Jack's Biggest Fight

A doctor came out of the operating room. He introduced himself as Doctor Mike Lee. He sat and talked to all of them. The doctor told them that Jack had suffered a concussion. It did not appear to be too bad. He had also had several ribs broken. The doctor looked at them. "The most serious trauma was to his genital area, it appears that he was kicked and stamped upon there. Everything in that area is very severely damaged. We have little hope his testicles can be saved. We will attempt to stabilize the area and we had called in several specialists who will be here soon. Hopefully we can give you more information in a few hours."

Jack's father said, "Doc, I know this is not your specific area of expertise, but based on what you saw, what is your best guess as to the prognosis?"

"Sir, I hope I am wrong, but I see little chance of saving his testicles. There is a better chance of saving his penis but it will be not be functional sexually. I'm sorry, I hope I am wrong."

Sandy looked at him, "What effect will the loss of his testicles have on him other than the loss of sexual function?"

The doctor looked sadly at her, "Is he your fiancé?"

She nodded.

"He will not be producing testosterone. Without the male androgen hormones, many things will change in his body. There is heavy bleeding in the scrotal tissue, we have drained the blood but I personally do not believe the testes are repairable. I fear there is damage of the whole area including the vas deferens, the spermatic cord, and the epididymis, which is a part of the testis in which sperm mature. I wish I could be more positive about this but you really need to be prepared for the worst. Oh! I do not mean that his life is in danger. He should survive OK. I have seen this sort of thing before. We will know more when the specialists get here. I promise to keep you informed."

Sandy and her Mom and Dad talked for hours. Finally, Dr. Lee returned, "The experts are examining him now.
