First Penis Transplant Reversed

Reuters is reporting that the first recipient of a penis transplant has had it removed 2 weeks after it was attached. Surgeons attached the new organ after an accident had severely damaged the original. There were no signs that his body was rejecting the new organ, but apparently the recipient and his wife could not get used to it.

Forget about those urban legends about waking up in a hotel bathtub merely missing a kidney....
