taguchi 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 OK last night I watched Arachnophobia movie. It was fun but one curious scene I don't understand. There was a doctor and he went into the boys changing room of a school to do some kind of medical check. Each boy coughed when he was standing in front of the boy. There was no text or subtitle. What is that check? Link to post Share on other sites
JPchucky 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hmmm Did the Dr. happen to have a hand full of nutsack? If so, it seems like a physical. The doc. grabs your boys, tells ya to cough, and if the boys start jumping around your good to go. Link to post Share on other sites

Fossil 0 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 It is a test for an inguinal hernia. When you cough you increase your intra-abdominal pressure and if there is a hernia or a potencial problem with the muscles that keep your insides from falling out and tripping you up the Dr will feel a bulging into the scrotal sac. Very undignified but has to be less embbarrassing than a speculum exam. Link to post Share on other sites
