[wtc911]

One imagines waiting until three hours, fifty nine minutes have passed then dialing 911...but how do you describe the emergency?

My question is, what are you going to do with it for the next 3 hours and 50 minutes. You sure aren't going to go run errands.

Believe me it happens. (Paramedic for 21 years speaking here.)

...but how do you describe the emergency?

I can remember reading (I think it was some medical journal in a Doc's waiting room) of a situation where a "patient presented with extreme discomfort due to erection..."

The "cure" was to make two slits, one on either side right at the base to relieve the blood pressure. Then stitches.

um, OW!
