A suspected Covid-19 male patient was lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student female nurse came to give him a partial sponge bath.
"Nurse,"' he mumbled from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed, the young nurse replied, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."

He struggled to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?"
Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcame her embarrassment and pulled back the covers.

She raised his gown. Then, lifting his testicles gently, she looked very closely and said,
"There's nothing wrong with them, sir. They look fine."
The man pulled off his oxygen mask, smiled at her, and said very slowly,
"Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very, closely: Are my test results back?”
