All I have to say is "Ouch!". I am glad I am not a man. I hope he recovers quickly.

Doctors at Royal Wigan Infirmary in Greater Manchester put out the alert after fearing the man faced amputation as the ring cut off his blood supply. Two firefighters used a mini hand grinder to cut through the ring during a 20-minute procedure. It is understood the man, aged in his 40s, was given an anaesthetic. The firefighters placed a thin sheet of metal around his penis to protect the skin while removing the ring, which appeared to have been cut off from the end of a pipe. Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service confirmed fire crews were called to the hospital at around 12.10 GMT on Thursday to "deal with a situation". |
This was on our local news last night, my
Son's reaction was "What on earth was the man doing in this situation anyway?"
It does make you wonder why a man aged 40 would experiment by sticking his penis in a pipe!
Either way, he's very lucky that he didn't need amputation!
