My christ... Circumcision led to an amputation... without the patient being consulted

[blankedboy]

It's like having an operation to have your nipples sanded off, except when you wake up, they've replaced your heart with a baked potato.

This is the best sentence in the world.
congratz

Holy fuck.

That doctor is losing his license. Not only did he do it without consent, it turned out to be TREATABLE? So it was all UNNECESSARY?

I mean, was he high when he did that?

PS-I've read people saying things about how the foreskin is a breeding pit for bacteria.

Here's a tip: Clean your dick every time you take a shower, and it won't matter. There's no reason to remove a part of the body, even if it's small, when you can just have decent personal hygiene.

I feel really sorry for him. Terribly poor judgement on the doctor's part.

but seriously, poor guy

If I woke up after an operation missing a leg (ba dum tish) I'd probably beat the crap out of the doctor. Possibly with the the penis in question if it's in reach.
Couldn't they reattach it or something though?

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

Hell, the doc that did this should be hung, drawn and quartered for commiting such an act!

And a huge penis. I'm pretty sure Lorena Bobbitt's husband got some monstrosity sewn between his legs after his wife chopped his off...

His penis was recovered and reattached, it wasn't a transplant or anything like that. I'm not even sure if penis transplants exist. Though if we can transplant faces, why not?

But where would you find a penis donor?

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Ahhh...that's nasty. Reminds me of that one Perry Bible Fellowship comic, but now I will never be able to laugh at it again. Daaamn~. :S

I read every single one.

because I was curious


I love you.

But where would you find a penis donor?

Presumably the same place you'd find a face donor. [sub]The morgue.[/sub]

True... I wonder if "penis" is an option when you sign up to become an organ donor or not... If it is, I'm not sure if I'd want to do it and help some poor bastard who lost his after I die, or not and keep it on my body...

I hope that guy is like really old and has already gotten his sexing behind him, God If That were to happen to me it would take a world endingly large amount of money to distract me from the face that I would never know that pleasure again. What woman wants just a pair of balls and a scarred nub? Masturbation's straight out the window.

Even then Money probably wouldn't solve anything, because you would truly be overcompensating for something you lost, with material things.

Actually, it also has the practical use of removing a dark, damp, bacteria's paradise.

Except, it's really not.
First, the penis is self cleansing. Not perfectly, no. But the functionality is there. The foreskin is no more a bacteria's paradise than your inner-ear is.

Yes, both those places have a higher infection rate then other parts of your body, but that doesn't mean we slice people's ears off every chance we get.

When I was very young, my penis hurt whenever I touched it, due to an infection I had. Because the doctor opposed circumcision so did mine extremely half-assedly (read: only cut off half the foreskin).

Yep. A large number of infections are caused by botched circumcisions. It seems a far better idea to me to stop ripping of a useful part of a male's body long before he can ever give his consent, especially when doing so has such a high risk of infection.

Also, they use foreskins from circumcised babies for skin grafts. Because where else would they get a large supply of skin that isn't being used?

From the person themselves. Ya know, like they do in every single country in the world other than America. They have to do sink-grafts in those places too, ya know.

Yeah, it's clear the doctor overreacted. I don't know what clown school he got his medical diploma at, but you don't just go, "Oh, shoot, I think that's cancer. You know what? I should probably remove this. Better hurry before the anesthetic wears off."

At least the patient had it easier than a Higira [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijra_%28South_Asia%29].

Historically, ceremonial initiation into the hijra community is said to have involved removal of a boy's penis, testicles and scrotum, without anesthetic, at or around puberty

How does such a group even continue?

Haha I work in the medical field so I guess this doesn't really scare me.
As hard as this is to say he was probably screwed either way even if he managed to get it treated.

EDIT: I mean the level 1 cancerous growth he had is pretty serious (if it's what I'm thinking) and there is a good chance getting it cut off saved him from going through a lot of torturous shit

Life without a penis vs. torture and keeping my penis? I'm picking torture.

Religion at its finest! Butchering genitalia is such a civilized practice is it not?

Sucks that he had cancer there though. Dick-cancer sucks.

I agree that penis cancer sucks, but 1 question: What exactly does religion have to do with this? Just wondering.

Circumsision part? Unless theres a real medical reason for it. It tends to be a practice commonly associated with jews and americans.

Actually, it also has the practical use of removing a dark, damp, bacteria's paradise. When I was very young, my penis hurt whenever I touched it, due to an infection I had. Because the doctor opposed circumcision so did mine extremely half-assedly (read: only cut off half the foreskin).

Then you should've been taught how to maintain proper hygene tbh or if you were too young for that then your parents failed miserable at maintaining your hygene. Ive never had any problem with my foreskin. Only a few get too small foreskins or get infections. One of my family members had a too tight foreskin and had to remove it though, so I can understand the medical reasons for it. But if there is no problem then theres no point in removing it as it shields the "tip" of your penis. And removing it can have side-effects such as in loss of nerves and such decreasing sexual pleasure and such.

doubley posty...thing.

Well, I hope they're able to reattach it.

The guy deserves some happenis.
