Just when it seems that I have heard or conceived of every possible sexual paraphilia, I hear about or have a patient who performs another one. Yesterday a urologist who was doing a consult in the ER told me of his days of being a resident in a big, inner city hospital. The hospital was near a neighbourhood with a large gay male population. He had one such young male patient who saw him for about one UTI per month. After several visits, he asked the patient if he did anything regularly that might have predisposed him to the frequent infections since it is not that common for young, healthy men to get cystitis. He said “Well, I am a wine steward at a club”. The urologist then asked why that would predispose him to UTI’s? He then went on to describe what being a “wine steward” at this particular underground club entailed. What he would do was to void and completely empty his bladder. Then, another worker who evidently knew something about medicine, would insert a foley catheter into his bladder. Now it gets good. The guy would then pour/squirt about a half a litre of wine into the catheter and fill his bladder. You can see where this is going…..shudder.
He would then walk through the club “dispensing” the wine into the eager patron’s awaiting wine glasses and mouths via his urethra. I wonder if anyone was ever able to tell if the wine was corked!
NO WAY! That is so gross!!
Perhaps it would be better for him to use vodka or another liquor that’s higher in alcohol… that might help keep infection away…
Uh, speechless. (mouth gapes open)
Few things in life shock me anymore, but I gasped audibly when I read this! I can imagine that the wine might sting a bit in the bladder, but what do I know? Furthermore, people were drinking wine out of his…? ::shudder::
Wow. I thought I had seen pretty much everything back when I worked in the ED at Charity Hospital in New Orleans….. but this is certainly a new one for me!
Ewwww!
Can’t believe people would drink that!
I thought I’ve seen and heard it all, but obviously I was wrong. How does someone come up with this idea?!
Fricken nuts. eerh. ahhh. I meant penis.
Wow, I can barely type after reading that one. Absolutely crazy.
I really could have gone my entire life without knowing things like that happen. Blech!!
I agree with Liz A. …I really did not need to know that there are people in the world who are that stupid and gross!!! Ugh!!!!

I believe that should be called a Merlot Job.
Eww. Gross.
Aside from the obvious astonishing gross out factor, can we just note that this idea is extremely hilarious? Because this isn’t really about the poor dood and his constant infections, this is about the amazingly foolish patrons who are somehow able to convince themselves that this is a fun, hygenic, and even arousing activity.
I do not want to think about ‘rule 34′ in the context of this subject either. Yeeechh.
How much you wanna bet they’re not using a new, sterile catheter for each refill, either? Maybe they’re even passing the same one around amongst themselves. Gross.
It doesn’t even phase me! I guess, I have been working
with urban teens too long.

Funny, because that is the *only* way I can tolerate the thought, the image, the imagined taste…
Imagine being a (blind) wine reviewer, developing your critical blurb for this… vintage! “Fruity, with a strong musky flavor… “

No, actually I could NOT see where this was going. Not at all. That’s just wrong on so many levels.
Is this real? Not some kind of gerbil urban legend? Won’t this damage his bladder? This guy must make a ton of money to let someone do this to him! I’m stunned!
this reminds me of a story that was pub’ed in the Dallas alt paper then the Observer about Dennis Rodman. He has a roomie from his college days in Okla that he bought a nightclub with during the 90s. Allegedly he and his college buddy would give themselves coffee/vodka infusions anally and get incredibly intoxicated.
Oh no……….now I’ve heard everything.
Don’t you have things like health and safety requirements in the States?
Don’t you need a lisense to run a bar?
You might start having an effect on the sale of sealed beverages. First coffee, now wine. Of course, the wine drinkers are aware of where the wine is coming from. They just aren’t aware of the extra kick that the UTI provides, especially just before he becomes symptomatic (and visits the hospital). I suppose they have never heard of STDs.

I think I have a UTI now just thinking about this….OUCH!!!!
I wonder if any of his patrons found hair in their wine.
You idiots. It’s an urban legend.
Я что-то не понимаю
bad joke gone worse i have a uti folley and i doubt very much that one person could endeur a cath put in daily
much less pulled out. if it was that easy felon drug addicts would be passing parole drug test …plus just lifting the bag above my bladder hurts! ooohh the back flow pain .
