Rather than treat man's ED disorder, man claims doctors watched Red Sox game instead

What's a guy have to do to get treated for an erection condition around here?

Apparently he has to wait until the Red Sox game is over.

According to ABC, Brockton, Mass., bus driver Daren Scott is suing Yale-New Haven Hospital for $2 million, claiming that doctors and nurses failed to treat his erection condition known as priapism in a timely manner because they were watching the Red Sox game on television.

Maybe they were waiting because they thought he had taken a pill of some sort!

I'm betting he doesn't prevail in this suit.

It would be one thing if they were at least distracted by a winning team. But this does raise the question - how many men with neverending erections have to walk into a hospital to peak a doctor's interest? I mean does this happen every day?

My doctor's solution is to tell (untrue) horrors stories about it blowing up or falling off and blood all over the ceiling until the mood passes.
