The man did not attend Tallaght Hospital until five weeks after sustaining the injury
I guess having an erection full time is only fun for the first 5 weeks.

It took him five weeks to drag himself to a hospital for treatment? Maybe he was supplementing his income starring in Bike Hard 1-13.

Takes the worry out of crowded buses and subways: always a clear zone.

Could be Lance Armstrong's new strategy: engorged penis doping.
Keep penis erect and loaded with oxygenated blood and performance enhancing drugs.
Push galvanometer to disperse as needed during the punishing hikes.
The European union never saw it coming.
Hah Hah, I said penis and coming in the same sound bite!

Nobody has claimed yet that this unfortunate incident is somehow the fault of Obamacare. Are the usual suspects slacking off, or what?

Why let facts get in the way?

The Yanni Zionists did it as part of their plan for world domination. Destroy the pricks one prick at a time.
And yes, under Obamacare, the calloused socialist doctors simply would have amputated the offending organ with a pitchfork.

Cyclist, 22, had an erection lasting for FIVE WEEKS after injuring himself on the crossbar of his bike
Erectile dysfunction are two words most men shudder at the thought of – but an even scarier prospect is when an erection lasts for five weeks.
That was the case for one young man who attended a Dublin hospital after a bike injury.
The 22-year-old mountain biker’s unfortunate ailment, known as priapism, was caused when he sustained a straddle injury on the crossbar of his bike that resulted in an irregular blood flow to his penis.
The man did not attend Tallaght Hospital until five weeks after sustaining the injury and medics reported that the initial examination ‘revealed no signs of injury, but penis was erect’.
According to the Irish Examiner, Dr Ronan Browne, Consultant Intervention radiologist at Tallaght Hospital, said: 'It was an anxious time for the patient as it would be for any young man.'
A report in the Irish Medical Journal into the treatment of the man stated the unnamed patient’s ‘rigid erection’ could have caused a blood clot if it had not been treated.
After several different treatments, the man’s swelling finally subsided when doctors inserted gel foam and four tiny platinum coils at an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein that supplied blood to the man’s penis.
This reduced the ‘high flow’ blood supply to his member.
