Well, we've heard it all now. A Dublin man was rushed to the Mater Hospital after getting a titanium metal ring stuck around his penis and scrotum. The most worrying thing of all is that the man waited an entire seven hours before he went to hospital.
The medical team tried everything they could from using ice packs to 'orthopaedic saws, bolt and bone cutters', but to no avail. The ring itself was a hefty thing and measured 5cm x 4cm x 1.5cm. So the only other solution was to call in the lads from Dublin Fire Brigade.
The poor man was sedated and the fire brigade got to work using a 'handheld angle grinder.' Yes, the only way to get the thing off was to use one of these yokes;
The man itself was featured in this month's Irish Medical Journal (IMJ) and the whole ordeal is reported as a rare case of penis strangulation. One month on from the incident, the man is reportedly fine and has had no issue, ahem...sexually.
Well thank God for that, eh?
