(Mod Note: Origin link appears to be gone - original video showed a dude with a solid metal cock-and-ball ring being ground off with an angle grinder in a hospital setting. Sparks fly as the grinder hits the ring. His scrotum is also massively swollen, most likely due to an intentional saline infusion)

... and THIS is why we don't play with rigid cock rings. Lets be careful out there!

Doc

So... what I want to know is, does the ER have a power grinder and bolt cutters just lying around? Are they part of the general tools inventory?

Yes @CJ1999 they do, witnessed it first hand, ( not cock ring) but the use of them from an impalement injury, bolt cutters used and something I won't ever forget. Just goes to show anything can happen. Play safe.

So - depends. Boltcutters are kinda standard in trauma - you need to be able to deal with impaled stuff, etc. Smaller ED's won't have them. I specifically recall a case when I worked for a small local ER (we were like L4 I think), and we didn't have any sort of tools for removal - we had someone come in with a heavy steel ring that we couldn't get with the little ring cutter we had. I'm a blacksmith (and generally odd...kinda do-everything dude), and had a dremel in my car, I ended up clocking out and getting one-off hired as a contracted metalworker to precision grind the ring off (for fairly obvious reasons, they wouldn't let me do it on hospital employ, but they were out of better ideas).

I ended up cutting the ring without actually damaging the skin under it, and then was able to pull it open with a bit of careful plier work. Made a decent amount of money on it....and I made them go invest in a better ring-cutter.

Angle grinders are considerably less common in ERs (our L2 Trauma unit didn't have one, at least that I know of), but the maintenance guy probably has one in the hospital maintenance room - they're somewhat of a universal tool....

I was puzzled about the tools but figured a quick run to maintenance department will solve that

My question is how long before his junk will go back to normal size and i you go about until it will be back to normal

And lastly i can't ignore that last squeeze he go from the nurse love that

Depends. If nothing (particularly vessels) is damaged, very quickly (a few hours to complete, but only a few minutes to start seeing reduction in swelling). If it does not, however, more aggressive intervention may be required to prevent further damage.

So it takes only few hours for the saline to get absorbed?

It doesn't really last long - anywhere from only a few hours to at most about 24 hours....it gets absorbed very quickly.
