What is the worst harm one can do to himself under the influence of alcohol? Well, a 27-year-old drunk from Isiolo town could not stand an incessant itch on the tip of his male member last Wednesday.
He was so irritated that he chopped off the tip using a razor blade.
He is currently recuperating at Isiolo County Referral Hospital.
The county medical superintendent Dr Hussein Abdi Mohamed, confirming the incident, said that the victim might stay at the facility longer for medical supervision and counselling as he has been under influence of drugs.
“Part of his male organ is missing and there is no possibility of adverse effects of the injury as the victim still has capacity to perform biological functions. He will be discharged only after the surgeons feel he is fit to go home,” Dr Mohamed said.
