Firefighters had to be called to an emergency room in Newport Beach to help save a man's penis when it got stuck in the hole of a steel dumbbell, Costa Mesa newspaper The Daily Pilot reported.
Costa Mesa police said the man was attempting to enlarge the size of his penis. Authorities said the man's organ had swollen to five times its normal size.
The man initially refused treatment but officials at the Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian explained to the man if he waited any longer to remove the fastener the flesh in his penis would die.
Firefighters used a saw to cut through the metal ring. Authorities said the whole procedure took about two hours.
About 8 years ago responded to a call where a 15 yr.old had two magnets one on each side of his penis squishing that thing. I mean to tell you, these were the magnets from hell ! First attempt by my partner that was trying to pry them off, they slapped back together and the poor boy was turning blue and screaming.He asked me to give it a try and I responded with, I'll give the medic unit an update trying not to lose it with laughter.Finally he extricated them and the boy was transported.I should of known something was up when the dispatcher was giggling when she gave us the call.We called my partner Magnet man for years after that!
Loyd, Believe me, when I went outside to give the medic unit a pt.report when they arrived, I was busting a gut!! They kept trying to ask me, if I was alright? I couldn't even get it out of my mouth, so I just pointed to the door.When they came back out to get the stretcher, they were dam near rolling on the ground.,
About six months after I got on the dept. we recieved a call for "a man with an unknown problem." We arrived on scene to find a middle aged man laying on his bedroom floor with his penis stuck in the end of a vaccum hose. Through the course of his actions, the hose had actually become "embedded" into his skin and could not be removed onscene.
We decided that the only option was to cut the hose at a safe distance and then transport. Being the tube was black in color, we were not sure where to cut the tube as to not injure the man any further. We chose a safe distance of about two feet away from pt. Other then the man being extremely embarrased; the transport went fine.
The best part was when we arrived at the hospital, rolled this guy in on the cot wearing nothing but a thin sheet, showing the ER what appeared to be a two foot, black erection.
