It always happens the same way.
I am sure there are plenty of sketchy websites out there that could demonstrate how this injury occurs if you are that curious.

Um, admittedly I don't know a ton about catheters, but wouldn't the penis have to have been erect to be broken? Don't think that that's normally the case when a catheter is being inserted?

Anyone still use paper?
Our signatures and billing are all on paper and the rest we do on the state ePCR.
Still using paper. This fall we are suppose to move to EPCRs. But they have been saying that for the last 5+ years.

It's hot as hell in Savannah and I'm enjoying a beer from @VentMonkey that I obtained in "the great 2017 beer swap™"
I'm waiting for the grill to get hot to toss on some t-bones and I'm reflecting on the reason for Memorial Day, thinking about my two friends who didn't come home.
Not to be too somber... but it's important to remember it isn't just National BBQ weekend.

I love Ballast Point Sculpin and Grapefruit Sculpin.......not so into the Kolsch style. Not quite as hot here in CLT as Savannah, but not too far off.
I served 6 years and don't personally know anyone who didn't come home, but even if you don't know anyone who has ever had anything to do with the military, the sentiment is the same.

As a veteran, I want to thank the above posters for their insight...I try to remind people and gently correct them if they are thanking me for my service on Memorial Day. As veterans still living, our day is on Veterans day. Memorial Day is for those who never came back, or who have served and passed on. I personally know several who didn't make it back to their families, or made it back to give up on life for some reason later.
To remind my children of what Memorial Day is all about, every Memorial Day since they've gotten old enough to understand, we've watched Taking Chance...if you haven't seen that movie or heard of it, I highly recommend it. (I may be a bit biased, as a former Marine)
One thing that will always stick with me are staring into the eyes of a grieving widow, and a dear friend of mine, and having to tell her,
"On behalf of the President of the United States, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a token for your husband's faithful and dedicated service."
You spend an hour or two memorizing those words, and a lifetime of never forgetting them once you've spoken them.
