An interesting day for the hospital staff. "Sir, I assure you your penis is no smaller than usual."
对医院工作人员来说，这是有趣的一天。"先生，我向您保证，您的阴茎和平时一样大。"

I worked as a scribe in the ER in undergrad. A guy, maybe 20, comes in with his dad, says he thinks he has an STD because his dick is really tiny. We go in for the exam. It was really fucking tiny. But he doesn’t have an STD. The doctor then tells all the nurses how small it was, like a joke. I still think about it.
大学那会儿我在急诊科当记录员，有天来个20岁小伙，带着他爹，非说自己染了性病，理由是“那活儿”太小了。结果一检查，好家伙，确实小得离谱！但压根没性病。医生转头就当成段子讲给护士们听，这事儿我到现在都记得。

thats a fucked up thing for the doctor to do
那个医生这么干真缺德。

The doctors in the ER are savage.
急诊室的医生都是狠人。

Honestly, it’s hard not to be jaded when I walk out of an unsuccessful code of a child and immediately get 6-7 non emergencies and people who are pissed they had to wait. I had a guy who had a literal splinter who yelled that I took too long to see him. He heard the code blue overhead and saw us pick up a pulseless child and rush them into our resus room. People are assholes
讲真，当我刚处理完一个没能救活的孩子，走出抢救室，立刻就要面对6-7个非急诊病人，还有那些抱怨等太久的人，我真的很难不变得麻木。有个因为扎了根木刺来看急诊的家伙，冲我吼叫说我看病太慢，而他明明听到了急救广播，也亲眼看着我们推着失去脉搏的孩子冲进抢救室。有些人就是混蛋。

Having worked in the ER the doctors there have no filters. It's hilarious as part of the health care team but not nice if ur a patient!
我在急诊室工作过，那些医生说话超直接，完全不拐弯。作为团队成员觉得挺好笑，但你要是病人，肯定会觉得很难受！

Loved the TV show The Pitt, but I hate how the ER docs would give their beautiful speeches about staying off drugs, taking meds, not drinking, etc. Any ER doc after a few months knows that until the patient wants to help themselves, it’s wasting breath. Treat and repeat.
《匹兹堡医护前线》这剧好看是好看，但我讨厌医生们动不动来段鸡汤：别吸毒！按时吃药！戒酒！
任何一个在急诊室干过几个月的医生都知道，除非患者自己想改变，否则说这些全是白费口舌。治完拉倒，下次再来。

Heres my shame. I went to my family doctor based on a recommendation about a hernia around my junk (im just fat). She brings her husband in, since hes the urologist. I drop trou.
"Those are the smallest balls ive ever seen."
我有个特别丢人的事儿，有人说我下面可能有疝气，我就去找了家庭医生看（其实我只是太胖）。她把她是泌尿医生的老公叫了进来，我脱下裤子。
“那是我见过最小的蛋蛋。”

On the other end, my pa was doing a physical on a guy so I stepped in to chaperone.. he drops pants, her immediate reaction is "what the fuck!?" Followed by, excuse me, I'm sorry. He had an oddly thick D.
说个相反的例子吧，有次我爸给一哥们体检，我进去陪同。他一脱裤子，我爸第一反应是“卧槽！？”然后赶紧补了句“抱歉，失礼了”。那哥们属实天赋异禀。

You were chaperoning your dad?
你爸给人体检你陪同，真的假的？

"This medical condition, known as Koro, was sparked by a false rumour among residents of Singapore that eating pork from pigs vaccinated against swine fever caused genital shrinkage." You guys better upvote me for searching genital shrinkage singapore into my Google search and likely having the algorithm push genital enlargement ads to me for a very long time.
这种被称为“缩阳症”的疾病，源于新加坡居民间的一个谣言，食用接种过猪瘟疫苗的猪肉会导致生殖器萎缩。
兄弟们不点赞说不过去了啊，毕竟我刚刚在谷歌搜了关键词“新加坡生殖器萎缩”，接下来算法怕是要给我推好长一段时间的“生殖器增大”广告了。

You probably need to stop watching YouTube in public for the time being ... Just in case they show you ads with male genital...
你最好暂时别在公共场合刷 YouTube了，万一弹出啥男性隐私部位的广告就尴尬了……

Just go to your Google account settings and dexe your Google advertisement id. That'll prevent Google from sending you tailored ads。
去谷歌账号设置里把广告ID删了，这样谷歌就无法给你推送个性化广告了。

Yeah, people in groups believe all kinds of dumb nonsense. A lot of South Koreans believe in "fan death", which is the nutball idea that electric fans somehow deplete the oxygen in a room, and so must not be left running in a bedroom with the door closed or tHe peOpLe sLeEpiNg WiLL sUFfoCAte!!!1!!!!!
集体降智这事儿很普遍，很多韩国人至今相信“电风扇致死论”，这个疯狂的理论认为电风扇会耗尽房间里的氧气，所以绝不能关着门开风扇睡觉，否则睡觉的人就会窒息！

I studied at a korean university for a very short time.
One of my professors (white guy who apparently fell in love with korean literature and moved there) gave a brief explanation about "fan death", saying that it partially had its roots in shame about suicide.
It was easier to say some pseudoscience about oxygen and airwaves killing your depressed relatives than saying that they took their own lives.
我曾短暂地在韩国一所大学学习。
其中一位教授（一个爱上韩国文学并移居那里的白人）简要解释了“电风扇致死论”，他说这其实是因为大家对自杀这事儿羞于启齿。
比起承认亲人自杀，编造一些关于氧气和气流的伪科学要容易得多。

Edited 5h ago In addition to that in the first half of the twentieth century they sold fans in South Korea that ran on kerosene/gas/fuel rather than electricity. Leaving such a fan running all night could have caused carbon monoxide poisoning I would think, fueling the persistent belief. But then attitudes about mental health change, and ceiling fans no longer directly run on petroleum, but the superstition remains psychologically fossilized.
其实在20世纪上半叶，韩国曾销售过一种使用煤油/燃气/燃料而非电力驱动的风扇。我认为这东西开一整夜真可能一氧化碳中毒，可能因此加剧了这种说法。
后来燃油风扇淘汰了，心理健康观念也进步了，但这种迷信仍在心理上像化石一样固化。
