      This caused the young man to suffer from permanent erectile dysfunction and, in addition, loss of sensitivity and strength in his right arm and neuropathic pain in his left leg.

      50k isn’t even close to fair compensation for that

        The blood vessels can be permanently damaged from an erection that long so it tracks.

        This is why the Viagra commercials have that “if you have an erection lasting longer than 4 hours” bit. It is a serious issue that if not addressed can lead to permanent damage that can make it impossible to have an erection.
