GP Stories - the biggest testicles in the room

I had a young man come to see me face to face, he was worried about his testicles. He as worried they were too big. He hadn't noticed any changes recently, no previous medical issues. After examining his testicles, they were large but not abnormal. I asked what made him feel this way. It came out that at his work in the warehouse, there was a bit of a competition amongst his male colleagues. They had decided to see who had the biggest testicles and had decided to whip them out in the back office. My patient had been the winner but was left with undue anxiety of being the biggest testicles at work.

I reassured him again, whilst holding back laughter of the absurd mental picture of this scenario. I wondered if this was a regular thing that happens at his work, and he said it was a one off, that they are all just very comfortable at work. I couldn't help it but I asked if they compared anything else but they didn't. I guess being different, even in a potential good way, can bring about anxiety in this modern superficial world.
