A case report in the latest issue of The British Medical Journal (THE BMJ) describing a serious injury to a 36 year old male patient deserves wider publicity as we can prevent such instances by imparting correct information.
Physicians from the Department of Urology, King George’s Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India authored the case report

(The photographs which The BMJ carried may shock some readers).
Dr Jamie Well wrote a news story based on it in one of the dispatches of the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH)

I feel that the case report must be published in popular dailies and other contemporary publications. I made this suggestion to the concerned physicians. Drugs such as Viagra are reportedly available on line. Patients may come to grief if they consume the drugs without medical supervision
It is true one should not take medications without consulting a physician. There may be incurable effects like in the case reported after taking a Viagra which is scaring.
