This is a novel way to keep fit. An American teenager has used the Strava smartphone app to
track his jogging path through the streets of Findlay, Ohio in order to spell out a prom invitation for his girlfriend.
Joran Fuller travelled almost
9km on the route, with a screen
shot of his exercise spelling out
the word “Prom?” (below).
After the trip he called in on
Claire Short and asked her to
check the app - and the good
news is she apparently said yes.
Medical miracles come in many
forms, but few more unusual than
an incident in Dublin, Ireland,
reported this week in the Irish
Medical Journal.
The rare case of “penile
strangulation” saw a patient
present at the emergency room
of the Mater University Hospital,
with a titanium ring around his,
ahem, member.
According to the report, doctors
were forced to call the fire
brigade after “standard medical
equipment” failed to remove
the ring, with urgent treatment
required to restore blood flow
and avoid “organ-threatening
complications”.
The BBC reports the firemen
whipped out an angle grinder to
remove the ring - with the man
fortunately sedated during the 20
minute procedure - and he’s since
made a “full functional recovery”.
