waltappel 1 #1 March 15, 2007 Check out the video, then read the following, from Reuters: Quote Matador's chances of fatherhood hurt by goring Thu Mar 15, 2007 2:01PM EDT MADRID (Reuters) - If Spanish matador Fernando Cruz ever has children, he'll have doctors at the Valencia bullring to thank after he suffered a double goring. Cruz, 25, is recovering in hospital after the second bull of Tuesday's corrida caught him in the upper thigh, throwing him into the air, and gored him in the groin once he hit the ground. Newspapers reproduced the eye-watering bulletin issued by surgeons at the bullring after a two-hour operation and film of the incident was played on the main evening news. "Fernando Cruz is suffering from two horn wounds of 25 centimeters in length each. One involves the fibers of the abductor muscle and dissects the femoral artery, the other involves the scrotal area and eviscerates both testicles." Cruz was sitting up in his hospital bed on Wednesday. Astonishingly, he is expected to be back in action in around three weeks. I'm no fan of bullfighting--in fact I think it's downright sadistic--but it's kinda nice to hear about the bull winning every now and then.

ifall 0 #2 March 15, 2007 Heard about this on the radio this morning and thought it was odd they had surgeons at the bullring. Good thing they do though, he would have bled out in the ambulance ride. edit: Here you go Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a needlessly cruel sport. Good to see the poor bull get some payback. My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #6 March 15, 2007 QuoteHeard about this on the radio this morning and thought it was odd they had surgeons at the bullring. There are surgeons who specialize in treating horn wounds - my wife tells me they are prized in Spain almost like a prized plastic surgeon in Los Angeles. And they are available at the bullrings... My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
