Inmate Sues for 55-Hour Erection

NEW YORK - An ex-con is suing a prison nurse for not giving him treatment for a medication side effect: a painful erection that lasted more than two days.

Dawud Yaduallah claims nurse Judith Lovelace increased his daily dose of anti-psychotic Seroquel by 25 percent, according to the New York Post.

The 43-year-old, who was paroled in September, says he complained after 14 hours of pain in his pants, but Lovelace told him just to apply ice.

Now his attorney says he is "irreparably injured" with "severe damage to his penis, including erectile dysfunction, inability to ejaculate, and pain during sexual intercourse."

He now needs a prosthesis, and the whole mess has caused difficulty in his marriage, according to court papers.
