We've all heard about drugs like Cialis and how you should see a doctor if an erection last more than 4 hours. But nobody has talked about what would be involved in getting yourself to the doctor in that condition.

Slip on some, uh, sweats. Hope to god you don't get a flat tire on the way, or even worse, have to take the subway. Then you've made it to the ER and the only seat left in the waiting room is next to a curious little 4 year old who won't stop talking to you while the rest of the waiting room starts gasping over your apparent reaction to the child.

Oh, then the nurse needs to check your blood pressure and have you slip on this gown. And what exactly is the doctor going to do anyway? Do they lock you in a room with episodes of Roseanne running back to back? Pull a deflation valve? Do an impromptu colon exam with the base of a stool until you're crying in agony?

Do the nurses help? Can they?

These are things I'd like to know secondhand.
