Announcers in commercials for Viagra and other pills treating erectile dysfunction typically murmur some fine print at the end about "consult your doctor if erections last longer than four hours." Then everybody in the room has a chuckle because that doesn't really happen!
Oh, but apparently it does, and worse: in the case of some clinic patients in Minnesota, their impotence injections are causing erections lasting double that.
Several patients from the Edina Clinic Parnell Medical Group showed up in the emergency room with boners that wouldn't quit (there's a porn title in there somewhere). One poor 55-year-old had to have blood removed from his penis with a "large-bore needle," reportd the Twin Cities' Star Tribune. Adding insult to injury, this is a private clinic that doesn't accept medical insurance, so the men paid $200 just for their visits, plus $125 to $250 for the medicine.
