A MAN watched his 4-5 turn black and start to rot after he had injected it with cocaine.
According to cops, the 35-year-old arrived in pain at BronxCare Hospital’s emergency department in New York in the US.
He’d been in terrible and worsening pain in his penis, scrotum, groin region and right foot for three days.
The New York Post reported his pain started almost immediately after he had injected the cocaine into the dorsal vein of his 4-5.
It wasn’t the first time he had chosen the mind-boggling method of delivering his high.
The man admitted to having injected cocaine into the dorsal vein at least twice in the past fortnight, although without any obvious problems.
He said he had a long history of blood drug use and with most other injection sites damaged, he had turned to one of the only places left – his penis.
He refused to have surgery to cut away at the dying tissue of his 4-5.
Upon examination, doctors discovered swelling, ulcers, a foul-smelling serious discharge and gangrene – rotting tissue.
He had a significant history of drug use but no STIs were discovered.
Doctors quickly started him on an IV of antibiotics and said his condition improved slowly.
