Very humbled to have heard the amazing story of Dr. Glaucomflecken (aka, Dr. Will Flanary). Bringing some humor to the serious subject of testicular cancer, Dr. Glaucomflecken was a highlighted speaker at the 15th Annual LUGPA meeting. Easily the best line from his talk was "...and then I found a lump on my third testicle".
