It would be more newsworthy if they were taken to different hospitals.

Rapper Andre Johnson severed his penis and jumped from a Los Angeles apartment building early Wednesday, police said.
Johnson was seriously injured, but survived the fall from the second level of the building in North Hollywood, Los Angeles Police Sgt. William Mann said.
Johnson, along with his recovered penis, was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was being treated, Mann said.
Details about what triggered the incident were not available.
Johnson has been a member of Northstar, a Long Beach, California, hip hop group that was part of the Wu-Tang Clan family, according to the Wu-Tang Clan website. He performs under the name Christ Bearer.

Maybe he’s a Looselimb, or a Loselimb.
Strangely, this did not happen in Florida.
I am SO gonna do this at the next kegger!
As an unusual note, the name Wu-Tang Clan was borrowed from a kung fu movie, after they discovered that several of them were aficionados of the Hong Kong based Shaw Brothers studios, which produced about 1000 movies.
The Wu-Tang Clan even purchased the marketing rights for a bunch of those movies, which it re-released on DVD under their own, Wu-Tang Clan label.
This may have inspired another company, called Celestial Pictures, to buy up the rights of about 760 of the movies, which it is remastering in much higher quality and selling on DVD. So far these include The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Five Deadly Venoms and The One-Armed Swordsman.
In any event, perhaps Mr. Andre Johnson offended the Shaolin temple or something, and was trying to atone for it.
Or something.
Now member of the "DongLongGon" Clan

How about Lil’ Johnson?
Never jump from less than the third floor after severing your Johnson.
That’s the takeaway here.
This guy has some very serious issues...and all I see here is jokes about his aweful situation. Wow.
OH, you must be kidding!
Here is a member of this disgusting group who is sadly no longer with us - Ol’ Dirty Bastard. We miss him so much. LOL
Legal troubles[edit]
In 1993, Ol’ Dirty Bastard was convicted of second degree assault[4] for an attempted robbery and in 1994, he was shot in the abdomen following an argument with another rapper.[4] In 1997, he was arrested for failure to pay child support for three of his 13 children. In 1998, he pleaded guilty to attempted assault on his wife and was the victim of a home invasion robbery at his girlfriend’s house. He was shot in the back and arm but the wounds were superficial.[citation needed]
In July 1998, only days after being shot in a push-in robbery at his girlfriend’s house in Brooklyn, he was arrested for shoplifting a pair of $50 shoes from a Sneaker Stadium store in Virginia Beach, Virginia, although he was carrying close to $500 in cash at the time. He was issued bench warrants by the Virginia Beach Sheriff’s Department to stand trial after he failed to appear in court numerous times. He was arrested for criminal threatening after a series of confrontations in Los Angeles a few weeks later, and was then re-arrested for similar charges not long after that. During a traffic stop, the details of which remain clouded in multiple versions of events, he was arrested for attempted murder and criminal weapon possession.[citation needed] The case was later dismissed.[citation needed]
On January 14th 1999[13] shortly before the Amadou Diallo incident, two officers from the Street Crimes Unit fired eight shots at ODB (Russell Jones) and accused him of firing at them after they stopped his car in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Mr. Jones was cleared by a grand jury and insists that the officers had been scared by his cellular phone. No weapons or shell casings (besides those of the officers) were found in the vehicle or near the scene.[14]
In February 1999, he was arrested for driving without a license and for being a convicted felon wearing a bulletproof vest (the first person arrested for this infraction under a new California law).[citation needed] Back in New York weeks later, he was arrested for drug possession of crack cocaine and for traffic offenses. With multiple cases in the past and present, he was arrested with marijuana and 20 vials of crack.[15]
In October 2000, he escaped from his court-mandated drug treatment facility and spent one month as a fugitive. During his time on the run, he met with RZA and spent some time in their recording studio. He then appeared onstage at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York swigging a bottle at the record release party for The W, the third Wu-Tang Clan album.[citation needed] In late November 2000, while still a fugitive, he was arrested outside a South Philadelphia McDonald’s (at 29th and Gray’s Ferry Ave.), after he drew a crowd while signing autographs. He spent several days in a Philadelphia jail and was later extradited to New York City. A Manhattan court sentenced him to two to four years incarceration.[citation needed]
In 2012, his FBI file was released to the public after a Freedom of Information Act request.[16] It contains details of numerous crimes, such as alleged connections to three murders, a shoot out with the New York City Police Department, and a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act investigation against the Wu-Tang Clan.[17][18]
Death[edit]
Leading up to his death, Jones’ legal troubles and odd behavior made him “something of a folk hero”, according to The New Yorker writer Michael Agger.[19] Music writer Steve Huey wrote that “it was difficult for observers to tell whether Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s wildly erratic behavior was the result of serious drug problems or genuine mental instability.”
Jones collapsed at approximately 4:35 p.m. on November 13, 2004 (two days before his 36th birthday) at RZA’s recording studio (36 Chambers Records LLC on West 34th Street in New York City). He was pronounced dead at 5:04pm. His funeral was held at Brooklyn’s Christian Cultural Center and drew a crowd of thousands.
The official cause of death was a drug overdose; an autopsy found a lethal mixture of cocaine and the prescription drug tramadol.[20] The overdose was ruled accidental and witnesses say that Jones complained of chest pain on the day he died.[21]
I don’t recall that. Did Theon get his penis cut off when he was being turned into “Reek”?
Well, I’m no expert on suicide, but I would think that if you thought that failure was even a remote possibility, you might want to keep your vital organs intact.
Just in case...
Yeah, Ramsay Snow cut it off and mailed it to Theon’s dad in a box labeled “Theon’s favorite toy.”
It would be more newsworthy if they were taken to different hospitals.
LMAO!
I can just see the poor thing on life support, with telemetry and IV lines...
Pity the nurse who performs CPR.
:-P
Maybe he thought it was 72 vegans.
ROFLMAO!
