"Have you ever seen an uncircumcised penis?" the urologist asked me, a playful smirk on his face. At the time, I was an undergraduate shadowing and interpreting in a urology clinic. Our fifty patients that day left us rushing between exam rooms, but for a moment we were alone in his plush office.
"Uh... sorry?"
"You know, in your... experience."
He looked at me, again with that goofy, teenage grin. "What kinds of penises?" He gripped two fingers of one hand with the fingers of his other, and motioned a glans penis protruding from a thick foreskin.
"I've never... I mean... I've... as an EMT..." I felt my face flush hot, sweat sticking under my arms, between my thighs. The urologist broke out laughing. "Just kidding, just kidding. Can't take ourselves too seriously here." We walked out of his office in the direction of our next patient. Before we walked in the room, he looked at me with that sick smile, and said: "First time for everything, right?"
