Whoa. So, how exactly did he make this happen?
Priapism is defined as an abnormal and often painful, persistent erection of the penis that usually lasts longer than four hours. But doctors at a Dublin hospital have successfully treated a man who was left with a seven-week flag pole after a fall onto the crossbar of his mountain bike resulted in “blood-flow interference.”
The 22-year-old unnamed man waited 35 days before seeking medical attention and endured two more weeks of unsuccessful treatments before being cured when “gel foam and four tiny platinum coils were inserted at an abnormal artery and vein connection.”
Doctors said they were “very happy” with the result of the treatment and that the man has made a full recovery complete with a “satisfactory erection and satisfactory intercourse.” Although, to us that doesn’t exactly sound like a ringing endorsement.
No word yet as to why the man waited 35 days before seeing a doctor instead of going on, oh, I don’t know, day two. Who knows? Ireland is a pretty small island. Maybe he just ran out of girlfriends. (via The Independent)
