Brickbat: The First Cut Is The Deepest

The Leicester Royal Infirmary, a National Health Service hospital in England, has agreed to pay Terry Brazier  £20,000 (about $24,300) for mistakenly circumcising him. Brazier, 70, had gone to the hospital to have Botox injected into his bladder, a treatment for incontinence. Brazier says hospital officials told him they were "deeply and genuinely sorry."

Ouch, Mister Happy has a frown.

[Crackers Boy]

Not any more. He's got nothing left to frown with.

He was circumcised, not castrated (which generally only means removing the testicles, not Mr Happy).

[Jerryskids]

The error was recorded as a "never event", which is a serious, largely preventable safety incident that should not occur if the available preventative measures are implemented.

It was one of eight made by Leicester's Hospitals in 2018, reported the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

If you go in for surgery on your right knee and they operate on your left knee, that's a serious mistake but one you can see how that might happen. When you go in for a shot in your bladder and they circumcise you, there's a much more serious problem there. What I'd like to know is, did they then go ahead and give him the botox shot and, more importantly, did they also go ahead and give a botox shot to the guy that was going in for a circumcision?

I am sure he wanted to lose a few wrinkles. Let's not quibble over which head we chose to focus on.

[Leo Kovalensky II]

I feel bad for the guy. I couldn't walk for a year after I had mine done.

[Á àß äẞç ãþÇđ âÞ¢Đæ ǎB€Ðëf ảhf]

But you can play the piano now.

He lost a hood but the world gained a Jew.

Can't they put his hoodie back in place for less than $24,300, and get some money back for British health care? What's the cost of a mere few stitches?

[Sometimes a Great Notion]

Maybe the only available replacement part was for a black model and he didn't want to mix and match the color scheme?

[Leo Kovalensky II]

Not to mention they didn't have one in his size.

"It's TWOO! It's TWOO!"

You get a shining star

[Agammamon]

Replacing the part is cheap - painting it to match the rest is what's expensive.

[MatthewSlyfield]

Assuming that his foreskin was still available and viable for re-attachment (unlikely), if you were in his place, would you want the same people who accidentally removed it, putting stitches there to put it back on?

[SQRLSY One]

Assuming that they'd also add some small, tasteful golden Frankenstein-style bolts to it ass well, I'd be on board with it, so that I could be the star guest at a nudist Halloweenie costume party!

[SQRLSY One]

You may think that this is an OT post, the way I'll start it out, but hold on now...

Y'all "intimately familiar" with nudist culture, like me? Did you know that after the vows, at a nudist wedding, the officiator doesn't say, "You may kiss the bride", he or she says, instead, "You may fuck the bride"?

So then nudists ALSO have some pretty fancy blow-out Halloweenie parties, even at swank hotels! At normal parties, we impress one another with fake Frankenstein plastic masks and fake stitches and bolts on our necks and heads? The nudists do that same thing with their peckers!

Terry Brazier, now, HE, with his REAL stitches with his added-back-on hoodie... Especially if they add some small, tasteful golden Frankenstein-style bolts to it ass well... He will have a SWANKER WANKER than ALL the rest!

Butt no, sorry, I will ***NOT*** be his SWANKER WANKER YANKER!!!

[SQRLSY One]

Well, it can always get worse!

Recall the gay Canadian airline steward way back when, spread (just then “going viral” literally) AIDS all over the place? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ga%C3%ABtan_Dugas … Kaposi’s sarcoma spread all over the place… (As a prominent sign of the new mystery disease).

Well anyway, hopefully Terry Brazier will NOT be the starring attraction for a bunch of young fan boys, who might otherwise become the spreaders at the nexus of the next horror, known as SWANKER WANKER YANKER CHANCRE!!!

Greedy capitalists as usual will crank out new drugs to cure it, at VASTLY inflated expenses, backed up by their bankers, so then we’ll have SWANKER WANKER YANKER CHANCRE drug-CRANKER BANKERS!!! Riots in the streets, from the anti-1% folks, I’m a-tellin’ ya!!!

[SQRLSY One]

Conservative newscasters will take the side of the bankers... But one of these newscasters will be caught by a mob of angry anti-1% rioters, some of whom will proceed to PUNISH the newscasters... Said punishment-dishers-outers will be known as...

SWANKER WANKER YANKER CHANCRE pro-drug-CRANKER-BANKER-ANCHOR SPANKERS!

[SQRLSY One]

There will be those who are squeamish about personal punitive violence, but who still secretly support those with less such squeamishness. When no one is looking or listening, they will privately utter their support of the punitive ones. These more shy and secretive supporters of such things will be known as…

SWANKER WANKER YANKER CHANCRE pro-drug-CRANKER-BANKER-ANCHOR SPANKER THANKERS!

[Leo Kovalensky II]

But will you yank them on a boat? Will you yank them with a goat?

[MatthewSlyfield]

I will not yank them Sam I Am, I will not yank them on a goat. I will not yank them in a moat. I will not yank them here or there. I will not yank them anywhere.

[SQRLSY One]

There will inevitably be those who will want to play gay hanky-panky with those who secretly oppose the bankers and anchors in this case, and make the often-mistaken assumption that those who merely sympathize with gays, must actually BE gay. Such prospective unwanted-gay-pass-makes will be known as “hanker-pankers”. The recipients of such unwanted passes will be temped to SPANK the makers of unwanted passes! They will be known as…

SWANKER WANKER YANKER CHANCRE pro-drug-CRANKER-BANKER-ANCHOR SPANKER THANKER HANKER-PANKER SPANKERS!

[Conchfritters]

Cmon, the procedure was 100% free, he has no room to complain. He should consider himself lucky that he wasn’t too old to be on the euthanasia list.

[Unicorn Abattoir]

The worst part was waiting 6 months for this mistaken procedure to be performed.

[NashTiger]

He should thank them, now he can get into Heaven

[Deconstructed Potato]

Oh joy, penis content.

[Dr Fallout]

That's what you get for putting in the wrong glory hole.
