did you see this on the news?
Medics at Southampton General Hospital struggled to get the man's penis out of the stainless steel pipe, because the restricted blood flow had caused it to become erect.
Instead, they resorted called in Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service.
The fire crew turned up with a special equipment unit from St Mary's station in Southampton and seven firefighters to help, in what a spokesman understatedly described as a 'delicate operation'.
The firefighters used the four-and-a-half-inch industrial metal grinder to cut the pipe from around the anaesthetised man's penis.
The penis was left bruised and swollen, but otherwise unharmed by its traumatic day.
The man, thought to be aged around 40, did not explain to hospital staff how exactly the pipe got stuck around his penis, after he presented himself at the hospital's Accident & Emergency department on Tuesday morning. He was said to be 'quite concerned and anxious'.
A Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: 'It was a very delicate operation that required a very steady hand and the crew was worried about things getting too hot during the cutting.
'It's certainly an unusual call-out, and I'm sure the man won't be getting into that situation again.'
Watch manager Greg Garrett from the Redbridge fire station told the Southampton daily Echo: 'I’ve only come across this type of thing three or four times in my 17 years as a firefighter. It’s not a daily occurrence.'

men!!!!! ouch i bet that hurt a wee bit ;)

:o :o :o
my eyes are watering just reading it!!!
I'm more concerned that the watch manager has encountered such a thing 3 or 4 times in his career, some people do the strangest things!!!!
-
LOL!
-
Perhaps he was using the vaccum for a job it wasn't designed for :D :D :D
Some folk eh ...
-
I don't think that it was a vacuum if it was stainless steel but Jeez, what are these people thinking?
A friends wife was a member of an A and E team and she said that at least twice a week men would come in with various things stuck in them or on them................definately not normal! ::)

Oh yes, my stint as an gynaecology and A&E nurse saw many things that would make the eyes water. we had to remain very professional of course but woah some of the stuff we encountered. and not just men..

I remember reading all the funny things they had to remove form men and women in A&E, I remember a programme about it, one man was stuck to his little Yorkie, and I don't mean the chocolate bar!!!
-

I remember the man and the yorkie. Poor wee dog.

Perhaps the man slipped when he came out of the shower, slipped along the tiled floor, and bingo, his wee man got caught in the pipe. Yes, I think that was what must have happened. ??? I dont think so ;D :-[ ::)
