The Silicon Attempt

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Below is the original story in Portuguese. This "R.M." dude has just been released from the hospital after nearly losing his penis after injecting industrial silicon in it, in a failed attempt to increase the size of his member, performed last week. Doctors say they were able to save his penis (so this makes him a Honorable Mention) but I believe that by the nature of his attempt he showed the "right stuff" that only Darwin Awardees have. One month ago, a girl died in the same city this guy lives after having her butt filled with industrial silicon.

Rapaz que implantou silicone industrial no pênis tem alta na Bahia

da Folha Online

O rapaz R.M. recebeu alta nesta segunda-feira, três dias após ser internado no Hospital Geral do Estado, em Salvador, por ter injetado silicone industrial no pênis.

R.M. foi internado na quinta-feira com complicações que podiam levar até a perda do membro em função do silicone, que deu início a um processo de necrose.

Segundo o chefe do plantão do hospital, Paulo Pimenta de Oliveira, R.M. teve alta e deve fazer acompanhamento com urologistas do hospital. A pele necrosada deve cair mas não há mais o risco de que ele perca o pênis.

"Isso acontece por causa da desinformação. É como se você jogasse uma substância química no corpo, ele reage e cria uma infecção. O silicone utilizado em cirurgia plástica é outro", afirmou o médico.

Há cerca de um mês, a empregada doméstica Rosângela Dantas de Jesus, 29, morreu em Salvador em decorrência da aplicação de silicone líquido nas nádegas. Rosângela passou por cinco cirurgias para conter a ação do produto, aplicado por um travesti, mas não resistiu.

If it can be translated, it probably qualifies.

Neutral: Darwin Award
Hard to reproduce effectively without a penis, so I would give him a DA

They may have saved the penis, but can he use it????
