ITALIAN SPEAKING All sorts of tests were performed on this patient, but it was not possible to trace the pathology from which he is suffering. Today I was commissioned to carry out a sperm sampling, an operation that I had to prepare in detail as the patient proves to be very vehement. That's why I had to sedate him and then put him in a straitjacket and immobilize his feet. Despite this he is still very restless and I sedate him again with sleeping pill which takes little time to plunge him into a state of semi-sleep. I proceed with the collection, not before wearing latex gloves for my safety. The patient becomes cooperative, his penis grows and in a short time sperm comes out. I take a sufficient quantity of it with a test tube ... my task is finished, I just have to send the sample to the analysis laboratory.
