"Chief of the tribe?"
When scrolling through the list
of stories on the UPI page there are certain words that
will jump out and immediately make me click on a link. One
of those words is 'penis.'
When I clicked on that link I was rewarded with a truly
bizarre story.
It seems firefighters in California were called to a hospital
for an unusual rescue -- removing a metal ring from a man's
penis.
The Costa Mesa Fire Department said its Urban Search and
Rescue squad was called to Hoag Memorial Hospital to saw
through a steel, ring-shaped dumbbell weight fastener that
had been stuck on a man's penis for two or three days.
Costa Mesa Battalion Chief Scott Broussard said the fire-
fighters told him about the man the following morning.
"They said his comment was, 'This will make me the chief of
my tribe,'" Broussard said.
The firefighters said the man told them he was attempting to
increase the size of his penis and initially refused to have
the ring removed, despite the fact it had blackened and
swelled severely from the lack of blood flow.
The man agreed to have the ring removed after doctors told
him the flesh of his penis was close to dying off. Firefighters
in full surgical gear spent two hours sawing through the ring.
They said the operation was successful and the man was not
injured.
There is no word on whether he became chief of his tribe.
