I've worked at 4 different fire departments. We don't own diamond saws. They gonna stick a needle in you and pull the blood out.
Seems a lot easier and safer anyway!
Yeah this was where my brain travelled logically. Pretty easy to just drain the blood. Worst case scenario they don't put you under, but doubt that's the least of your concerns in this scenario.
My first thought was ice bags on the front and in the back. Emphasis on in.
Well I think part of the issue is the blood is able to travel in when getting an erection, but then is restricted and unable to come back out. So icing wouldn't do much except numb the area.
I just can't imagine the blood being entirely blocked by an exterior ring even when the pressure difference favors flow back into the body so heavily. Maybe if medication were involved that prevented flaccidity.
i don't want to do the math of the coefficient of expansion for both titanium and stainless steel rings and an erect penis and find out whether it's better to freeze or heat it off, but if research hasn't been done i bet it'd make for an ignoble
I didn't do the math either, but based on personal experience with a penis and different metals (not this kind of tho) the penis changes size a lot more than any ring. And not because of temperature changes.
My SO worked overnights in an ER. Someone came in with a tight ankle monitoring cuff, which apparently has titanium cables inside, and their foot wound up swelling up because of an accident that damaged the cuff. He was hours from losing his foot entirely, they had to operate but the cuff was in the way. They managed to wake up someone at the manufacturer at 1am, who then located a jeweler back in our city with saws that could cut it, and emailed over diagrams showing exactly where to cut. The fire department, indeed, came and went unable to do anything because it was too close to the skin to use any of their grinders.
Yeah. We carry a lot of shit, but generally a small Dremel with diamond cutting blades isn't one of them.
Do they put it back in after?
Heyo!
So clock needles are just standard equipment of fire departments?
I should volunteer.
