I mean, whose life partner hasn't received $5k from their government to compensate them for distress from their prolonged sexual arousal, right? Right?

Edit: I have no problem with compensation here.

What they went through is brutal, and government payout can help them a bit and incentivises the health system not to fuck up this badly in the future.

Priapism is extremely painful and extremely distressing. After 30 hours of it, there’s also a very significant chance that he’s got a broken dick.

If she was left to care for him because the doctors basically said “naw. Not my job,” that would also be extremely distressing

Unfortunately, it's not a chance for this dude.

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.

Dude has decades of decreased quality of life to look forward to because of this, I don't think the compensation was nearly enough.
