Gentlemen, you may now wince (penis amputation story)

Ouch ouch ouch Omizog make it stop ouch!: Man’s Penis Amputated After Wrong Diagnosis | Fox News

I didn’t read the link (no thanks!) but your user name caused me to have a flash:

Why didn’t Sauron make the one ring a cock ring? Wouldn’t that have been safer? And talk about the seat of power! Of course, it would have made the film somewhat, erm, difficult…

Never mind, back to your MPSIMS…

Wince, hell!
I’m going to utter a high pitched shriek and curl into a whimpering blob of goo. :smiley:

Brings a whole new meaning to “And in the darkness bind them.”

Eh, stop whining, it was surgery, done under anesthetic and with plenty of post-op pain meds. I’d be much more distraught about the loss of sexual and urinary functionality.

I’d be more upset about the delay in diagnosis - It’s not clear that they’d have been able to save his man-tackle at all, even with an early diagnosis. OTOH, all that time means more time and more chance for the cancer to spread.

The man in the story had cancer and had to have his penis amputated. Since it had been several months, and misdiagnoses since his original complaint of penile inflammation, it’s been referred to a medical board in his country to see if the delay might have worsened his plight.

I suppose if I had to choose between my clitoris and cancer, I’d keep the former.

What an inane photo illustration they put on that article. It’s like he’s going, “Yup, still there.”

See! Ain’t no liberal news channel gonna’ tell you that. That’s what happens with Obamercare like the Yourpeens got! I ain’t got no health insurance, but I sure as hell ain’t don’t want no Obamercare if they all gonna’ cut off my junk! You tell 'em, Fox News!

If socialized medicine means Socialists get their tallywhackers lopped off, I’m all for it.

How passive is this guy that he just waits around forever, knowing that there’s something seriously wrong with his dork?* Five months? After several weeks already? I would have camped out in the emergency room, wailing “fix it NOW!”

*(That’s the Swedish term – “dork, dork, dork”).

Haven’t met many Swedes have you? The in your face Vikings seem to have been bred out of them. Now a days for the most part Swedes are about as non-confrontational a group as you can find.
“It just an inflammation, come back in 5 months when you can get an appointment”
“Ya sure, you are the doctor, I will do that.”

The really scary part of this is this is how costs are controlled with national health care, they regulate access. Need to hold cost down this quarter? No problem, book the guy with the sore weenie in 5 or 6 months.
If this does not scare the shit out of you, it should.

You are giving me Anne Bishop flashbacks. Stop it. :stuck_out_tongue:

You really, really don’t want to know. Those books are scary.

To be honest, the thread title and even the words in the URL address (“penis”, “amputated”, “wrong”, “FoxNews”) made me wince more than the actual story.

Ex-squeeze me? Speaking up for my fellow descendants of Lief Erikson and Erik the Red here, but it’s the Norwegians who were the Vikings! We’d never let a pansy-ass pacifist Swede on our rading parties! You probably got us mixed up because Norway and Sweden were once one country in the 19th century. Us Norwegians being the nefarious lot we are (holding on to the “in your face Vikings” as you put it) let the Swedes think they were the ones who initiated it. Oh, we still chuckle over that one over our lutefisk.

(And if you think that Norwegians are just as docile as the Swedes and don’t have any Viking spirit left, any culture that would cure their food in poison is badass in my book.)

Heck - Any country that could produce Robert Sørlie is bad-ass in my book. Took all that Viking aggression, and turned it into mushing heroics.

OTOH, I work with a lot of Swedes, and they’re a very laid-back bunch. Couldn’t startle 'em with a brass band in the middle of the night. Probably comes from having Norwegians next door. :stuck_out_tongue:

This story ain’t so bad. Try searching for the video “BME Pain Olympics” (no, I won’t provide a link.)

Oh Holy God! Oh My God!

Oh, God No!

Oh, God!

No!.

Oh, God!

I did not see that! I can’t have seen that!

Oh My God!
