quote [ Full sensation has not returned and doctors suggest this could take two years. ]
It's nice to know if the worst ever happens there's hope. The World's first 'successful' penis transplant has taken place in South Africa.
Going to need to update my donor card preferences. Little moriati could live forever!

"Doctors say South Africa has some of the greatest need for penis transplants anywhere in the world."
I bet the author of this article never thought he'd type that. |

A 'botched circumcision'? That's a hell of an understatement.

Context: in some african cultures, circumcisions are performed with spears.

Not thrown, but wielded by questionably trained non-doctors in the African bush. This has been a problem for a long time--not so much because of direct injury, but because of infection, HIV, and general improper medical care. Tradition, superstition, and lack of education combine to mangle and kill.

ah yes, African genital mutilation practices. Hopefully they attached a circumcised replacement.
