A former New York state inmate alleges he was permanently injured when a prison nurse failed to treat a 55-hour erection caused by an anti-psychotic drug.
In a federal court suit, Dawud Yaduallah, formerly known as David Hanley, said the damage has caused problems in his marriage and he needs a prosthesis to "possibly restore some sexual function, The New York Post reported Monday.
Yaduallah said nurse Judith Lovelace's alleged "cruel and uncivilized conduct" occurred in March 2006 at the prison in Fishkill when his dosage of Seroquel was increased by 25 percent. Side effects of Seroquel, an anti-psychotic, include painful erections, the Post reported.
Yaduallah, 43, alleges Lovelace did nothing but tell him to put ice on his penis and then sent him back to his cell. Yaduallah, who was serving time for assault, said he was erect and in severe pain for 55 hours before finally getting hospital treatment to relieve his problem.
Lovelace, who retired in 2007, was not available for comment, the Post reported.

Ummm..., what does Seroquel do to women... LOL...
I’ve actually wondered before, since I’ve seen a few on it..., at different times. They did seem a bit more friendly than normal... :-)
It says right on the bottle “consult your doctor if erection lasts longer than 4 hours”....Fail
On a dare I once stole some of my older relative’s viagra at the strapping age of 23 and took some before work. I ended up having to put it under my belt for 5 hours and I had a horrible headache to boot.
When it was all said and done I had abrasion burns from the belt.
Thanks..........because I was serious.
Obviously he never heard of Helen Thomas. That would have nipped it.
dude, the directions on the bottle say to seek medical help after FOUR hours...
Priapism is classified in two types, including high-flow or “non-ischemic” priapism in which well-oxygenated blood accumulates in the penis and low-flow, or “ischemic” priapism in which venous blood persists in the corpora cavernosa.2 The latter category is the one associated with antipsychotics and is considered a urologic emergency with potentially serious long-term complications such as impotence that can develop in 40% to 50% of the patients, regardless of treatment.3

In a situation like this, I wonder how one presents oneself to the er?
Thanks I was not asking a serious question. I was making a little fun of the headlines. I envisioned a man using his erection like a sword and chopping things up for 55 hours and then being sued for the damage he caused. I am just in another silly mood I guess. ‘0)
The last I heard Linda Lovelace got married and got religion. That'd be my luck.....that much talent and she gives it up!
I understand that shortly after her movie was made she made a few bucks by selling tee shirts with "I choked Linda Lovelace" on them (she allowed the purchaser to briefly circle her neck with their hands).
Seriously, if she made her life better I'm glad for her.
Walk in gingerly. Very gingerly.
Trudy Mueller’s fault for me...
One look at a Helen Thomas pic would have taken care of that.
LOL.
Gives new meaning to “doing hard time.”
One look at a Helen Thomas pic would have taken care of that
I agree. in fact, she would kill all living things with her face.
bttt
It was all the blisters he got that really made it painful....
The guy sounds like a real hard case.
