8 Most Random Emergency Ward Injuries You Won't Believe

3. Cocaine-Injected Penis Becomes Gangrenous

At the cocainey height of the mid 80s, a 34 year old man decided to inject the drug directly into his urethra in order to heighten sexual pleasure. And as the three hour erection that followed shows, it worked - for a while. The pain became unbearable after intercourse and a hospital visit was necessary. The experiment resulted in several genitalia located blood-clots, as well as less impressive clots in the yupster's arms, legs, back and chest. The worst was yet to come. On the twelfth day of the man's hospital stay, gangrene had set in and he lost his legs, nine fingers and, unsurprisingly, his penis. His doctors believed that cocaine alone wouldn't cause such complications and theorised that the quality of the product in question might be to blame. Thus inject cocaine into your lady-charmer but never baking soda. And always know your dealer. It's just common sense.
