First things first: Don’t need answer fast.  
And: the query is medical, yes, but not IMHO, IMHO. It’s MPSIMS, yes, but so begin many GQ queries. And perhaps it is GD fodder. But I need more hard data (no pun intended, honestly) on penile trauma and surgery; otherwise the story can be immediately challenged without a comeback (oy, also not intended)–as it has already–and I _need_ to keep it in my repertory.

First time, scissors (by angry wife, natch). Second time, cutting instrument not stated, nor exact time after first cutting, but while man was still in the hospital.

As to cites, all I have is The NYPost, plus a pictureso you can’t say it didn’t happen.  
ETA: I just re-read the subject line query–it looks like some weird kind of college entrance exam question.

Look, **Leo** , if you’re looking for sensationalism open these kinds of threads in MPSIMS in the first place. This is closed.

You have an unfortunate habit of opening inappropriate threads in GQ. Please think more carefully about the most appropriate forum for your threads.
