Grey's Anatomy prompts penile Google Search

In case you missed Grey's Anatomy last Thursday, Dr. Mark Sloan suffered a rather compromising and cringe-inducing injury to his pelvic region, reports The Telegraph.

To put it bluntly, he endured a penile fracture – and the resultant spotlight thrown onto that particular affliction has prompted a flurry of internet searches on the subject.

The Daily Telegraph reports that as of Friday, "broken penis" and "penile fracture" were two of the three most Googled items. A search on Google Trends revealed that "penile fracture" was the seventh most popular search in the US as of Friday afternoon.
