A man who went to Guangzhou to get circumcised experienced every man’s nightmare when his genitals were accidentally cut off. He posted the (extremely graphic) pictures online and exclaimed: “How can I go on living?”

The man is now appealing for support on Sina Weibo. His user name is @无助55求帮助 and he has even added an image of his mutilated pelvic region as his profile picture.

According to inewthings, the man went to the Jili Hehan Plastic Surgery Hospital in Haizhu District to get the surgery done. After it went tragically wrong, he claims the hospital threatened him and said any attempt he made to get compensation was doomed to failure.

Amazingly, he had the presence of mind to take a photograph of what was left of his manhood.

The hospital describes itself as an ethical and professional institution that improves lives, careers and marriages with its plastic surgery. Hmmm

Remember expats in Guangdong Province, you live close to the Hong Kong border. Keep this in mind next time you need to put your life in surgeons’ hands.
