When men come to see me for a
#penileimplant
/IPP they always ask “Can you make my penis bigger?”
I tell them if I could do that I’d be a billionaire but we will always maximize their length and girth.
Today’s IPP pt had this note on his leg in the OR for me from his wife!😂
What’s NORMAL penile length? 🤔 🍆
Most men think > 6in is the avg.❌
➡️Data suggests 5.1-5.5 in is avg penile length, yet most men want a larger penis!
Despite most female partners are actually happy with their partners size! Great review by

Really sober look at how many of us don’t take the vacation we should and work on Vaca when we do.
🙋🏻♀️I’m guilty of this.
Having suppprt to cover EMR msg boxes & pt issues while away would better support docs from burnout. What else could we do to help?
We got sperm this morning! Patient almost cried. So did I.

It would be in everyones best interest to read this. I think we all know a physician who has sadly succeeded at suicide. This narrative is both saddening, honest and provocative. I hope good change comes from this. Let’s all do some good trouble.

If only I could scream this from the rooftops. Never a truer comment. While IPPs are life changers for some people w/ a high satisfaction rate- it is NOT the answer for all couples. Talk to your pts, explain everything, ask what THEIR goals are & don’t try to sell them something
Proud of our recent paper!! We have a long way to go, but NO pt should undergo a
