I don't like the sound of "intervention!" Did they have to amputate?

Probably just aspirated the blood from the corpus cavernosum with
a 50 CC syringe and #12 gauge needle, or possibly a trocar and cannula... :-)

[It hurt to even _think_ about the above!]

You are right. It hurt to even think about the above. Of course,
it wouldn't work, since it would just fill from the arterial side.
Anyway, since Phentolamine (an alpha-adrenergic blocker) caused
the erection, a little shot of Norepinephrine (in a little tiny needle
in an almost inconsequential syringe) will constrict the arteries and
return the patient to flaccidity (incidentally pronounced FlakSIDity.
Incidentally, as I wrote to the Colonel, a sympathethic discharge
causing natural release of Norepinephrine is what normally causes
orgasm and the subsidence of erection. This is just working with the
body's own chemistry, as it were.
