Accidental Amputations - Man's Penis Amputated by Mistake
Man's Penis Amputated by Mistake

Oops, what a mistake to make. Ib Jorgensen, a 42-year-old Dane and a father of two, had a sore penis a couple of years back and went to see a doctor at his local hospital in Odense.

The doctors diagnosed Ib with cancer and said his penis had to be removed, or he would die soon. So off the penis went. Snip.

And then they found out that there was no cancer. He had just had an infection. Ib was not happy about losing his penis, and even less so when he found out that it wasn’t necessary.

“Mentally, I’ve become some sort of no-sex. It’s devastating and hard. I wouldn’t wish this upon any man. It’s horrible in so many ways. Sexually, it’s a major bummer. It just doesn’t work.”

Though he could replace his limb with a replica, that just wouldn’t do the job. This limb can never be replaced.

Shockingly, accidental amputation happens all the time. I saw a feature on TV which showed that some hospitals are now putting big X marks on the foot that is supposed to STAY... So if they are amputating your LEFT foot, they will put a big X on your RIGHT foot. How confident would that make YOU?

That's freaky, man. It's a trend I surely hope I don't get to experience first-hand (or first-penis)

@Jeremy lol, well, if they're ever in doubt, they can always just cut that little one in between ;)

Hahaha. Yah, maybe you have to draw your own X there just to make sure.

@J: interesting that you saw hospitals that put an X on the "save this" appendage. In the U.S. they mark the "cut here" appendage!
