After 10 days, his lungs began failing, and the man was turned face down — an emergency technique used to help air better move throughout his body. After 12 hours, when medics turned him face up again, the nurses noticed that his shaft was erect.
After three hours, unable to fix the situation with an ice pack, medics drained the man’s penis of blood with a needle, successfully fixing the bout of priapism. The man was unconscious throughout.
"Priapism did not reoccur," three Miami Valley hospital doctors wrote in a report on the patient in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine. However, his lungs did not recover, and the patient ultimately died in the ICU.
