A spokeswoman for Royal Wigan Infirmary said they were unable to comment about the incident.

One day they rang and asked if we could bring the ring cutter to the hospital as they couldnt send the person to us. When we got there- in a side ward a guy was lying on the bed with what i can only describe as a peeled beetroot where his penis should have been. He had put a curtain ring round the base and once he got an erection the blood would not flow back.
He had been in agony for days before plucking up the courage to go to hospital.
While this was obviously a cause of much sniggering i really did feel much sympathy for the guy for the torment and pain he had gone through, sadly he had to have it amputated as leaving it so long gave him gangrene.
Less than a month later one of the other watches had to go to the hospital when a guy had put his penis in a lucozade bottle! They said the worst part was the sound of the cutter on the glass- worse than nails down a blackboard apparently!!
