Woman charged in severing, flushing penis
2005-02-22
Oboy. Another lost doinker story. I think I'll go lie down for the rest of the afternoon...
A woman upset about an impending breakup with her boyfriend cut off the man's penis and flushed it down a toilet, police here are alleging.
Upset doesn't quite cover it
Utility workers recovered the severed member Sunday and surgeons reattached it. Kim Tran, 35, was charged with first-degree assault, domestic violence and tampering with evidence. She was being held in custody without bail. Police spokeswoman Anita Shell said police received a call just after midnight Sunday that a 44-year-old man had been dropped off by his girlfriend at Providence Hospital with amputated genitals.
Well, that was big of her
"It was brutal, brutal," Shell said. The man's name has not been released in keeping with department policy in domestic violence cases, Shell said.
Also to protect him from ridicule, read on..
Investigators determined that the man and Tran had argued over a impending breakup on Saturday night. The relationship had lasted a little more than a year but the man no longer wanted to be involved, police said. At some point, the couple decided to have sexual relations and the man agreed to have his arms tied to a window handle above their bed.
STUPID!! Make-up sex = Good, Break-up sex = bad. Break-up sex tied to a bed = Darwin Award nominee
The woman then pulled out a kitchen knife and severed the man's penis, police said. She flushed the penis down the toilet, untied the man and drove him to the hospital. She assisted him to a nurse's station and then drove home, Shell said.
"Here, he's all your's."
Officers arrived at the couple's home and found the woman cleaning up the bloody scene. A police supervisor contacted officials at the Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility and asked them to go to the home to see if the man's body part could be recovered.
Now there's a service call you don't get everyday
Utility workers removed the toilet and found the severed member, which was rushed to Providence Hospital and reattached successfully early Sunday morning.

#7  # 6 Do we have any personal injury lawyers out there? WHich way would you swing your gavel??
You are correct the penis should be treated as
any appendage in need of surgery. WHAT A WORLD.
Call up Barbara Skolaut and get the input. We are waiting....

#6  Good Lord, Andrea, why on earth do you think I'd know such a thing!?!

Nontheless, hazarding a guess, it seems logical that this could reasonably be called emergency surgery for the gentleman involved.... I certainly wouldn't think of it as optional cosmetic surgery, since it was not his decision to be dismembered. On the other hand, I would think the insurance company would then go after the woman to be reimbursed for the costs, as it certainly was an optional action on her part to cause the damage.

#5  We gotta hear from AP. I figure the chilly pipe conditions allowed for easy recovery and reattachment. Something to remember if you consider moving.

#4   The field of Neuro surgery is always advancing, so there is hope. The poor guy can always call Adam and Eve for prosthesis or adaptive equipment.

I hate to see any guy left all "balled" up.
Lets here it from Trailing Wife and Barbara Skolaut.
Will health insurance pay for this? Or is it considered cosmetic surgery?

#3  More with the Southeast Asian women severing members. Is this some kind of underground cultural thing, or do they just like to take matters into their own hands?

Why reattach? Anyone this stupid needs to have his DNA not passed on in the gene pool. Now someone who he could impregnate (If it still works) might produce stupid offspring...
