Talk about morning "Wood"! A man has sued the maker of the health drink Boost Plus, claiming he woke up one morning with a monster erection after drinking the vitamin-enriched beverage the night before-- resulting in extensive hospitalization.
According to the AP story, the lawsuit filed by Christopher Woods of New York said he bought the nutrition beverage made by the pharmaceutical company Novartis AG at a drugstore on June 5, 2004, and drank it. Woods' court papers say he woke up the next morning "with an erection that would not subside" and sought treatment that day for the condition, called severe priapism.
Woods, 29, underwent surgery for implantation of a Winter shunt, which moves blood from one area to another. Woods later had further problems requiring another hospital visit and penile artery embolization, a way of closing blood vessels. Closing off some blood flow prevents engorgement and lessens the likelihood of an erection.
Novartis' Boost Plus Web site describes the drink as "a great tasting, high calorie, nutritionally complete oral supplement for people who require extra energy and protein in a limited volume," in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.
