Man who lost his pen!s to horrific blood infection, have new one on his arm - Edoman - 08-02-2020 Man who lost his pen!s to horrific blood infection becomes first man in the world to have a new one built on his arm 45-year-old Malcolm MacDonald who lost his penis to a horrific blood infection has become the first man in the world to have a new one built on his arm. Malcolm reportedly had an infection in his perineum which is also known as the “gooch” or “grundle” and it turned into sepsis. Recounting how "completely gutted" he was when his penis fell off due to the infection, the father of two told The Sun; Quote:“Because I’d been through the devastation of knowing I was going to lose it, I just picked it up and put it in the bin. I went to the hospital and they said the best they could do for me was to roll the remaining stump up like a little sausage roll. It was heartbreaking.” The father of two turned to alcohol, feeling like “a shadow of a man” for the two years after losing his penis, until his GP referred him to Professor David Ralph, a phallus construction expert at University College Hospital London (UCHL). He added; Quote:“For two years after losing my penis I felt a shadow of a man. The mechanic who is now desperate for his £50,000 NHS-funded appendage which he has nicknamed “Jimmy” in which the penis will be finally transferred to where it should be, further said; Quote:“Of course it is mad - having a penis on your arm. Surgeons formed a new manhood — with its own blood vessels and nerves – using a skin flap on the left arm of the right-handed man. They created a urethra and installed two tubes inflated with a hand-pump, allowing him to achieve an erection. The shaft was then removed from his forearm, leaving the base, allowing it to form naturally as skin and tissue. He now awaits for it to be finally transferred to its proper location. Prof Ralph famously created a “bionic penis” for Andrew Wardle, who was born without one. Excited Malcolm was given a referral and recalled: “It gave me a glimmer of hope that I could go back to being a normal bloke.” Prof Ralph explained the arm-graft procedure, and told him it would take up to two years, which Malcolm was happy with. He was then delighted to get funding, as it was motivated by being able to go to the toilet properly rather than for sexual reasons. Malcolm said; Quote:“It was all my Christmases at once. I was so emotional because it was a chance at a new start. The father of two has however missed the scheduled operation due to illness, and the surgery kept being pushed back for other reasons. A UCHL spokesperson told The Sun that MacDonald had missed or cancelled a number of appointments to complete the procedure pre-lockdown. The spokesperson said; Quote:“We will try to rearrange his surgery as soon we are able, now that services are gradually returning closer to normal following lockdown. The delays have been hard to deal with." Malcolm disclosed that despite wearing long-sleeved shirts to hide his “bulge,” people have sometimes spotted the misplaced member. He said; Quote:“People ask me about it when they see me in the pub, and of course people make jokes. But I get it. It’s not every day you see a man with a penis on his arm. Of course I see the funny side. I have to. I don’t have any other option. Malcolm hopes to have it finally grafted properly between his legs by the end of the year. He told the publication; Quote:“The delays have been hard to deal with. For one reason and another the final operation has never happened. b |
