Resident’s member is saved from ring

[proud2BlibKansan]

In what firefighters described as a once-in-a-lifetime call, officials with the Costa Mesa Fire Department’s Urban Search and Rescue squad were summoned early Tuesday morning to Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach to save another man’s penis from perishing.

The man, whom authorities declined to identify, other than saying that he was in his 50s, had apparently put his penis through the hole of a steel, ring-shaped dumbbell weight fastener, two or three days earlier.

The device got stuck, and he couldn’t remove it. The penis had blackened and swollen to five times its normal size, authorities said. In order to remove the ring, firefighters had to use a saw to cut through it.

“They said his comment was, ‘This will make me the chief of my tribe,’” said Costa Mesa Battalion Chief Scott Broussard, who like others in the department, heard about the incident the next morning.

The man thought the weight from the steel object would make his organ longer, but what he did to it almost rendered it useless, authorities said.

Pemile injuries ain't fun.

Oh and guys... you are right, it IS the call of a lifetime. You work EMS long enough you will have a call involving a wiener and strange things SOONER OR LATER.

Mine involved a three year old, a zipper, lidocaine

PSA guys WEAR underwear, please. Zippers and wieners are not fun.

accident victims. But this AIN'T NO ACCIDENT! This guy did it to himself! And for a RIDICULOUS REASON, too!

All those drug companies that make Extenze, Viagra, Cialis and whatever the hell else should be upset at this guy for doing this instead of downing their products!

“They also slid a little piece of metal between the collar and his thing, so if it slipped past it wouldn’t hit his thing,” Broussard said.
