Get yer penis jokes ready (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/17/health/thomas-manning-first-penis-transplant-in-us.html) folks...
QuoteA man whose penis was removed because of cancer has received the first penis transplant in the United States, at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Thomas Manning, 64, a bank courier from Halifax, Mass., underwent the 15-hour transplant operation on May 8 and 9. The organ came from a deceased donor.
"I want to go back to being who I was," Mr. Manning said on Friday in an interview in his hospital room. Sitting up in a chair, happy to be out of bed for the first time since the operation, he said he felt well and had experienced hardly any pain.
"We're cautiously optimistic," said Dr. Curtis L. Cetrulo, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and a leader of the surgical team. "It's uncharted waters for us."
I wonder if he got to pre-screen the reproductive organ before attachment?
I just hope it's firmly attached . . . things could get really awkward on the test drive otherwise! :buggedout:
Oh, boy! Maybe I can get a better one. Finding a donor may be difficult ...
