Outcomes would range from no deficit in erectile capacity after the repair all the way to the intervention wasn’t successful and the thing ended up being amputated.

If they had their druthers, I’d imagine they’d rather not have to give that warning. From a marketing standpoint, I don’t think it’s helpful to tell your potential customers something along the lines of: May give you such a hardon that a doctor might have to operate on it with large needles or maybe a knife to get it to go down.

[QUOTE=The Flying Dutchman]  
That’s what I want to know. You’re the one that seems to have a problem.

Oh wait, scratch that. That’s what I **wanted** to know. I don’t care anymore what your problem is because I can’t help you.  
[/QUOTE]  
So, it wasn’t a joke? Is that right?
