Man prescribed one Viagra a week claims infringement of human rights

The security guard says he is a “stallion” when on the drug and romping with girlfriend Janice Roberts, 39, in Stoke, Staffs. But he was heartbroken when he found NHS guidelines restricted him to four tablets a month. George – whose marriage broke up due to his problem – fumed: “This is a ban on my sex life.” A North Staffs Primary Care Trust spokesman said: “GPs would be expected to prescribe according to an individual’s clinical needs.”

Man stabs barber over bad haircut
A man was detained for allegedly stabbing an Otay Mesa barber who had given him a haircut he considered unacceptable. Joshua Robert Schwartz, 20, allegedly attacked the 60-year-old shop owner shortly after 6 p.m. Wednesday as the victim was closing his Coronado Avenue business for the night, according to the San Diego Police Department. After slashing the barber twice in the face, the assailant ran off, SDPD Sgt. Rich Nemetz said. "The motive for the attack appears to be that the suspect was unhappy with a previous haircut," Nemetz said.

A witness followed Schwartz to the 900 block of Outer Road, where patrol officers took him into custody. Medics took the victim to a hospital for treatment of apparently non-life-threatening wounds. Schwartz, who was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and held on $30,000 bail, is expected to be arraigned this afternoon.
