Newburgh firefighter performs delicate operation to save man's penis Victim, 73, had metal pipe attached to penis

CITY OF NEWBURGH — A Newburgh firefighter became an ad hoc surgeon Friday, called upon to use a pneumatic saw to cut a piece of steel pipe off a 73-year-old man’s penis.

Firefighters were dispatched to the Newburgh campus of St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital shortly after 9 p.m. for a public service call, Assistant Fire Chief Scott Mandoske said. Hospital personnel asked them for tools to cut off a ring. The fire department has a ring cutter used to clip wedding bands from swollen fingers, but firefighters learned that wouldn’t be enough. The pipe was an inch long, an inch in diameter and made of quarter-inch-thick steel.

Authorities said the pipe was apparently an erotic aid, but did not elaborate.

Medical personnel weren’t able to perform typical medical procedures, such as forcing blood from one side of the penis to the other in order to pull the pipe off. The man’s penis had swollen and turned purple.

Mandoske said firefighters chose a “wizzer saw” for the job. The wizzer saw is an automotive tool, powered with air bottles and adopted by emergency responders who frequently deal with car crashes. Firefighters use it more commonly to saw off mufflers.
This was to be a more delicate operation.

Hospital staff prepared the man, who was unidentified, by wrapping the skin and sliding a lubricated tongue depressor between the pipe and the man’s penis to protect him. A doctor, nurses and a paramedic gathered in the Emergency Room as a firefighter – “one of the new guys” – prepared to begin the operation.
“Just don’t cut it off,” the senior citizen reportedly said.

For more than 90 minutes, the firefighter sawed bit by bit into the pipe, pausing occasionally to cool the saw. The time duration was critical, Mandoske said. Hospital staff worried the man could lose his penis if blood circulation was cut off too long.

The wizzer saw emptied the first bottle of air and then a second. Finally, after five air bottles, the saw clipped through the final bit of pipe, and they were able to free the man. He was apparently unharmed by the operation, Mandoske said, although the assistant chief didn’t press for details.

    was he jerkin' off or preparing to take it into battle? :eek :p:D
  • I love the name of the tool they had to use to get it off...fitting for the job.

    Old men are perverts apparently. I heard a girl on a radio show recently who is a nurse and she was recounting a story about how one night an 80-something man came into ER and he had an 11 inch dildo stuck up his ass. It was so firmly lodged in there that they couldn't use normal methods to remove it...they actually had to cu Et through his abdomen and get it out!

    :eek:
    "The customer...is always...an ASSHOLE"
