Dude Suing Prison Because They Failed To Treat His 6 Day Boner And Now He's Impotent

CIVIC CENTER — A jail inmate suffered a painful six-day erection that cost him his sexual virility after jail doctors failed to send him to the hospital for treatment, according to a lawsuit. Rodney Cotton, who was in the Manhattan Detention Complex in 2011 for violating parole, had priapism — a painful, constant erection caused by his antidepressant medication — according to a lawsuit filed in August 2011 in State Supreme Court.  Cotton, 51, was left alone and crying in his solitary cell without proper help for six days, he said.  Contrary to standard practice, jail doctors did not send him to the hospital until he required surgery and was rendered impotent, the lawsuit said.“I have to readjust my manhood,” Cotton told DNAinfo New York. “I have to readjust myself because I’m not even whole.” After six days of the continuous erection, Cotton underwent surgery to relieve the swelling. But it was too late to rescue his ability to maintain an erection. After the surgery, Cotton was sent back to MDC with stitches that were supposed to be removed in seven to 10 days, according to court documents. Barnes told Cotton they would dissolve on their own, Cotton said. But they were not self-dissolving, the lawsuit says. By the time they were removed Aug. 9, they had become embedded in the skin of his penis, according to court documents, and no anesthetic was used to remove them. Cotton said he now  hopes to move to Atlanta, to live with his 27-year-old daughter. His lawsuit will go to trial on July 6. “I just, I’m ruined,” he said. “It’s time for me to just go to Atlanta and just fall back. Just fall back.”

That quote at the end there is honestly one of the saddest things I’ve ever read. Just a broken man and his broken penis heading home to Atlanta to just fall back, man, just fall back. But hey, that’s prison. You want good medical care? Don’t go to jail. Simple as that. The beds aren’t comfortable, the food sucks, and the doctors just destroy your penis by making you walk around with a hard dick for days and then letting the stitches get embedded into your skin. Everyone knows that. If you aren’t into that kind of stuff then don’t get caught. You know whose dick works just fine? Mine, because I didn’t do something bad enough to go to jail and see prison doctors.
