Yet Another Responsible Gun Owner Shoots His Own Penis

[nadinbrzezinski]

40. Well, as a medic I see the "humor" in it

But then again, when you see tragedy day after day...and as a nation that is what we are seeing: tragedy.

So the humor is truly dark.

And I must admit, the genital mutilation comment down thread is funny, in a dark way.

And I will slightly correct your anatomy. This guy was lucky to miss a few structures beyond just the femoral arteries. There is one major vessel in the Penis itself. That can also lead to exsanguination, though it takes longer than the femoral artery. It is it, and the spongy tissue that leads to Mr Happy standing at attention. There is also deep innervation that can lead to shock from pain. Depending on the damage made our friend might develop anywhere from a mild to a severe case of penile dysfunction.

This is why we were taught to treat these patients aggressively for shock.
