Great Moments in Science

Recommended Posts

I was just looking at friends online..and saw that a friend from Canada was online..I was tempted to ask if he had frozen his nuts off up there yet...

Got me thinking about more than one guy going thru Survival Training that had some problems...with frostbite.

Frostbite

By Karl S. Kruszelnicki


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In general, it's better to exercise than to be a couch potato watching TV, but exercising takes you into the uncomfortable field of sports injuries. One rather unusual sports injury was reported by Dr. Melvin Hershkowitz in the New England Journal of Medicine in his paper entitled Penile Frostbite, An Unforseen Hazard Of Joggin'.

However, there was a minor side effect. Ten minutes into his self-administered 15-minute treatment, his wife returned home to see him standing legs apart in the bedroom, "nude below the waist, holding the tip of his penis in his right hand turning the pages of the New England Journal of Medicine with his left."

There was some explanation needed, which Dr. Hershkowitz writes up as "spouse's observation of therapy produced rapid onset of numerous, varied and severe side effects (personal communication)."

But he re-assured his wife that he was reading the NEJM only for the articles.


Honest... I only read if for the articles!!! :D:D:D
