Man sues nurse for giving him 55 hour erection in jail.

A FORMER jailbird is suing a prison nurse who allegedly sent him back to his cell after medication side effects gave him a painful 55-hour erection that wouldn't go away.

Dawud Yaduallah says he suffered for 55 hours before finally getting hospital treatment to relieve the problem while he was in , reports The New York Post.

Yaduallah, 43, claims nurse Judith Lovelace's diagnostic foul-up left him "irreparably injured" with "severe damage to his penis, including erectile dysfunction, inability to ejaculate and pain during sexual intercourse."

He now needs a prosthesis "to possibly restore some sexual function" and says "his medical problems have caused difficulty in his marriage," court papers say.
