EMERGENCY WORKERS CALLED  TO RESCUE TRAPPED PENIS

In Costa Mesa, CA a man was trying a DIY penis enlargement procedure and wound up in a very painful and embarrassing predicament.

The man, whose name has been withheld, had to be hospitalized after a metal dumbbell ring became stuck on his penis and caused the organ to swell to five times its normal size, reported the Daily Pilot in Costa Mesa.

Rescuers had to be called into saw the ring away from the man’s penis.

Keith Jones, deputy fire chief in Costa Mesa, said the ring had been stuck below the belt for as many as three days, and that the man initially resisted treatment. “This was a patient that was obviously having some other issues,” Jones said.

The man, described as middle-aged, eventually relented and allowed city urban rescue experts to remove the ring in a two-hour, ultra-delicate procedure involving a pneumatic chisel that sent sparks flying around the operating room, Jones said.

The man’s condition isn’t known, but Jones said it appeared he remained fully intact. “I know (rescuers) felt that what they had to do, they did it effectively,” he said.
