There are many crazy stories about implants or organ transplant surgery, but perhaps the weirdest thing is what this person did. He transplanted goat testicles into the human scrotum.
The scrotum is a part of the male reproductive organs. The shape is in the form of a skin pouch that hangs at the bottom of the penis and acts as a wrapper for the testes or testicles.
John R Brinkley is the one who did this. Brinkley was born in 1885 in North Carolina, and his father served as a medic during the war.
Since childhood, he always wanted to be a doctor. One who is respected. Brinkley worked hard and chose a course in Chicago. Three years later after his studies, he returned to North Carolina. He bought himself a diploma at Kansas City Eclectic Medical University.
In 1918, he set up an office in the City of Milford and earned a modest income as a doctor in the local town. While his second wife runs a drug store. This is where the controversy began.
Just then an old man came and asked Brinkley's wife if she could speak to John in private. After several chats, it was discovered that the man had erectile dysfunction, as reported by IFL Science, Friday (24/9/2021).
According to his biography, the man continued to insist that Brinkley insert the goat's testicles into his scrotum. Brinkley could not help but agree to the procedure, but he also warned her of the risks.
The old man who was a farmer then provided a goat. In the middle of the night, Brinkley cut his scrotum and inserted the goat's testicles into the man's scrotum.
After the operation, Brinkley vowed to the man to keep the secret. However, the man told everyone he knew about how the treatment got him back to being able to get an erection. Direct gas, everyone asks for similar treatment.
The terrible thing happened. Some men begin to complain of a foul odor caused by the new organ in their body. Brinkley figured he was using the wrong breed of goat, so Brinkley was seen developing his extreme method and claimed it would be better.
Brinkley, who initially admitted he was hesitant, later worked closely with the marketing and public relations team. All that was done because Brinkley failed to publish his work in a journal.
Brinkley couldn't even get a license to broadcast what he wanted to broadcast in the United States, he ended up setting up a station in Mexico and broadcasting to the United States from there.
Meanwhile, the Journal of the American Medical Association scoffed at Brinkley as a man full of bullshit. On the one hand, Brinkley began to reach a much larger audience for various testicular treatments and surgeries. With the money he earned, he managed to expand the hospital in Milford. The hospital has its own farm, for goats.
Brinkley became really popular in the local community. He uses some of his money to help the community by providing proper electricity and plumbing services to the city of Milford.
But can't always have the upper hand, Brinkley fell precisely because of the method of implanting the goat's testicles into the human scrotum. Most of the patients died from the operation. Although Brinkley claims that he took a goat's testicle and inserted it (by connecting nerves and blood vessels to a human host), it turns out that he simply inserted it into the scrotum and stitched the scrotum back together.
As a result, Brinkley got many lawsuits regarding the deaths of his patients and eventually went bankrupt. He died, penniless, pending a trial that had yet to take place.
