Neuticles

I learned yesterday from my facilitator (a radiologist at the med center) in pbl about Neuticles.

(pbl is a small group class that we have a few times a week. There are about 8 people in a group, with a facilitator and we work through cases similar to how we would someday in practice. We get sheets that say - patient presents with pain on urination, shortness of breath, etc. Then the following pages give us a history, physical exam findings, etc. It is our job as a group to work through the diagnosis. We make "learning objectives" about the disease process, risk factors, treatment, etc and then next time we meet we discuss these objectives and then start a new case)

What are Neuticles you ask? Well neuticles are testicular implants for animals (dog, cat, horse, bull) of course. www.neuticles.com

I'm serious! We love our dogs, but I'm sorry I would not drop a couple hundred for my neutered dog to have fake balls implanted. Not sure if it's for the dogs psyche or what.
There are many different varieties. Different consistency/ firmness of the implants, different sizes, and of course different models. You can pay more for the deluxe version and have a fake epididymis too!


There you go. That's what I learned yesterday in pbl. That and I got an ab work out from laughing so hard. :)
