Hong Kong - A 52-year old Hong Kong man who said being hit by a motorcycle hurt his sex life has been awarded a year's supply of Viagra as part of his court settlement.
The South China Morning Post reports the judge awarded Cook Chan Kwun-tak $550 to purchase the medication. The money is part of a $320,000 compensation package for Chan, who was hit by a motorcycle in June 1997. Chan originally asked for $5,500 worth of Viagra enough for a 10-year supply -- to solve his sexual problems. But the judge ruled there was no reasonable evidence a 10-year treatment was necessary. This is the first time a Hong Kong court has awarded money for Viagra.
