While on 
routine patrol in the 400 block of Hill Street just past noon on 
Saturday, a LBPD sergeant was flagged down by a couple who were 
concerned about a man in a vehicle with the windows rolled up.
They told
 him that they had heard moaning coming from the area of the parked car 
the night before. They were on their way to breakfast Saturday morning 
when they observed a man in the car and believed he might be deceased.
That 
didn’t dissuade them from their breakfast plans, however. After 
returning they flagged down the officer and asked that he check on the 
man.
Captain 
Jason Kravetz said in an email, “The Sergeant contacted him and saw that
 he was soaking wet from sweat and also pale white. He said he had 
passed out in the vehicle the previous evening and was severely 
dehydrated.
“When 
asked to stand up, he was not able to, because he had a bag of ice on 
his groin and was suffering from a metal ring stuck on his penis.”
He added 
that he had taken a “Superman” form of Viagra and placed the 2” diameter
 metal ring on his penis three days ago. After engaging in intercourse, 
he was still unable to remove the ring, police said.
After three days of trying to remove the ring, he went to a friend’s home in Laguna Beach for help.
Kravetz 
explained, “The man was in extreme pain and asked for medical assistance
 from LBFD.  After the medics explained to him that the tourniquet like 
ring could permanently injure his penis if not drained, he insisted on 
trying to remove it himself. He was provided privacy and used a tube of 
lubricating jelly to successfully remove the ring.

Yikes. Poor guy. Although this does sound kind of stupid.
ReplyDeleteWell, it took him three days to get help. Stupid it is!
