Salesman's hard time

Salesman Richard Carter fears he’s facing the sack — after struggling with a seven-year erection.

Richard, 34, developed the rare condition priapism after taking panic attack medication.

It left his manhood almost constantly stiff and he needed eight hospital operations to reduce it.

Richard’s bulge also left him in agony as he drove vans selling fire extinguishers for Chubbs.

He was forced to take so much time off that bosses have told him they may need to “reassess” whether he can still work for them as an on-the-road salesman.

Chubbs said they might find Richard an alternative job. A spokesman said: “We sympathise with him. His position is under review.”
