at that moment , the door to the exam room flew open . |
mr. robertson stood hunched over , his legs an almost painful distance apart . |
he took one look at pesh and his white coat , and he lunged at him . |
`` help me . |
please ! '' |
although it was strictly against the nursing code , she would have loved nothing more than to have throttled mr. robertson right then and there . |
pesh grasped mr. robertson 's hands on his coat and pulled them down . |
`` sir , you need to get back inside . |
as unsteady as you are , you certainly do not need to be on your feet . '' |
as pesh led mr. robertson back to the examining table , megan reluctantly followed them inside the room and closed the door . |
`` what seems to be the problem ? '' |
mr. robertson glanced from pesh to megan and then back to pesh . |
with a sheepish expression , he replied . |
`` um , i seem to be having some lower abdominal swelling . '' |
megan had to fight from rolling her eyes . |
she stepped between pesh and mr. robertson and looked pesh full on in the eye . |
`` while the patient refuses to acknowledge his condition , it appears after examination that he has an extreme priapism . '' |
at the word , color flooded into pesh 's tan cheeks , and he broke eye contact to momentarily stare down at the floor . |
his reaction was exactly what megan had feared she would experience in the moment . |
she had hardly imagined his level of professionalism would allow him to be embarrassed about a medical condition . |
but of course , their past interactions made anything of the sexual kind a little more mortifying than if she was dealing with one of the male interns . |
it took pesh only a few seconds to recover , and then he immediately turned his attention to mr. robertson . |
`` did you take any erectile dysfunction medication in the last four to six hours ? '' |
when mr. robertson started to look at megan , pesh shook his head . |
`` my nurse will stay with me through the duration of your care . |
so i will repeat once again , did you take any medication ? '' |
`` cialis . '' |
`` how many milligrams ? '' |
when mr. robertson shrugged , pesh demanded , `` are you being purposefully evasive , or do you not know ? '' |
`` i do n't know , okay ? |
i got it off a buddy of mine . '' |
`` do you normally take medication that is n't prescribed to you ? '' |
`` i just wanted to try it out . '' |
pesh glanced over at megan . |
`` i 'm going to ask for a full blood work-up . |
who knows what else he might 've taken . '' |
megan nodded and punched in the code on the electronic chart to get a member of the phlebotomy team up to draw the blood . |
after going over to the dispenser , pesh slid a pair of rubber gloves on . |
`` i 'm going to have to examine you now . '' |
with a resigned huff , mr. robertson threw the sheet back . |
megan bit down on her lip to keep from laughing at the expression on pesh 's face . |
she was pretty sure he had n't had to deal with a lot of penises that resembled enormous eggplants in his career . |
of course , her amusement quickly faded when she realized how awkward it was being in the room with him while he held another man 's penis in his hand . |
she tried busying herself with the electronic chart in front of her . |
she wanted to do anything but look at the scene unfolding before her . |
once pesh finished that part of the exam , mr. robertson eased back down on the examining table , and pesh once again eyed the eggplant-colored penis . |
`` precisely how long have you had the erection ? '' |
`` five and a half hours . '' |
`` there does n't appear to be any artery rupture , so we wo n't need to perform surgery . |
i think the quickest form of treatment , as well as the least invasive , would be to try an injection to narrow the veins and reduce the blood flow to your penis . |
that should reduce the swelling . '' |
mr. robertson 's eyes narrowed suspiciously . |
`` and where do you have to give me the shot ? '' |
`` in the penis , of course . '' |
with a gulp , mr. robertson replied , `` fine . |
do it . '' |
pesh nodded . |
`` can you grab a syringe of alpha-agonist please ? '' |
`` sure , '' megan replied . |
she gladly retreated from the room to head to the medicine closet . |
after checking the syringe dosage , she reluctantly returned to mr. robertson 's room . |
`` thank you , '' pesh said , as he took the medication from her . |
she watched with mild disgust , as well as fascination , as he took mr. robertson 's penis in his hand . |
`` take a deep breath , '' he instructed . |
the moment the needle pricked the skin , mr. robertson howled uncontrollably . |
megan could n't help rolling her eyes at what a complete pansy he was being about the pain . |
once pesh finished , he dropped the empty syringe in the biohazard container and then glanced back at mr. robertson . |
`` if the swelling has n't begun to dissipate in the next ten to fifteen minutes , we 're going to have to take another course of action . '' |
`` what 's that ? '' |
mr. robertson questioned , with a grimace . |
`` aspirating the penis of the blood . '' |
mr. robertson paled considerably . |
`` oh god , she mentioned that . '' |
he said the word she like megan was a swarm of locust . |
pesh turned to smile at megan . |
`` then she made a good call . '' |
he then eyed his pager that was going off . |
`` keep an eye on him . |
i 'll be back in fifteen . '' |
`` okay , i will . '' |
time ticked by agonizingly slow as she worked on charts and kept an eye on mr. robertson . |
every few minutes , he was lifting up the sheet to eye his erection . |
each time he grimaced , megan imagined that the shot was n't working and the swelling had n't gone down . |
when pesh entered the room again , he glanced from her to mr. robertson . |
`` so how are we doing ? '' |
she shook her head . |
`` no change . '' |
`` i see . '' |
he went over to a drawer and searched through it before producing a very large syringe with a very thick needle . |
`` i 'm sorry , mr. robertson , but it looks like this is our only choice . '' |
mr. robertson seemed speechless for the first time all night . |
`` ms. mckenzie , can i get you to assist me ? '' |
pesh asked . |
`` of course . '' |
`` i need you to help restrain him . |
i need him to be as still as possible . '' |
megan fought the urge to roll her eyes at his suggestion . |
mr. robertson had to outweigh her by a hundred pounds , not to mention that when pain got your adrenaline pumping , you were even stronger . |
but she did as she was told . |
as pesh brought the needle to mr. robertson 's penis , she gripped her hands tight into his shoulders . |
