OUCH!

I received this story from a friend yesterday and am floored that it's actually true! So, a 66-year-old man from Gigante, Colombia had to have his penis amputated after he allegedly took too much Viagra and overdosed trying to impress his girlfriend. How the hell do you overdose on Viagra? Doesn't one pill keep you hard for like 6 hours? Why would you take more than that? 

The 66-year-old man, who name was never released, told news sources that he intentionally overdosed on the erectile dysfunction medicine, which led to an erection for several days before seeking medical attention. The penis enhancing drug caused the man, who is said to be a farmer and a former politician, to develop signs of gangrene. 

When he sought medical help, doctors in Gigante referred the man to a medical facility in Neiva, where medical staff noted that the man's penis was inflamed and fractured. Ouch! How? I'm sitting here typing this with my legs crossed! Why would you do this to yourself? The doctors informed the patient his only option was amputation so the inflammation and gangrene would stop spreading to other parts of his body. One of the doctors stated that the patient showed bruising on the testicles and penis, and was treated and recovering well. As a result, the hospital issued a warning for men to not use the penis enhancing drugs or erectile dysfunction medication without prescription from doctors. 

Here's what I don't get. Why would you take so much Viagra? It's not like one pill won't do the trick. Did this moron think that by taking more than one blue pill, his penis will get larger? Well, now that his penis has been amputated maybe he can opt for a penis transplant and get that 12-inch penis he was striving for. Can we all agree to file this away in the “what's wrong with people” file?
