The impact of ED
MR. TOMAS: Hi, my name is
Ronaldo Tomas. I am originally from the Republic of
Panama.
MR. TOMAS: I have been in the United States for
almost 40 years. I have been diabetic for almost 10 years, and
I have had erectile dysfunction for about 5 years.
MR.
D'AMICO: Hi. I am Sal D'Amico. I am a retired
mechanic.
MR. D'AMICO: I worked for Boys' Market. I
retired from there and I had a heart attack.
MR.
LESLIE: My name is Robert Leslie. This is my wife, Judy. We
have been married for 36 years. I have been in a wheelchair
for the last 23.
MR. LESLIE: When I did get hurt, we
lost a lot of stuff, you know, that . I couldn't do
anymore.
MRS. LESLIE: Going for a walk, holding
hands.
MR. LESLIE: Yes, it's just
different.
MRS. LESLIE: A walk on the beach, those are
all gone, plus your physical, your sexual life is gone. It's
not gone, but it's new, it's a new life that you have to learn
to live with. And like he used to come up behind me and put
his arm around me and kiss me on my neck, little things that
people take for granted.
MR. TOMAS: I was a person that
was always full of drive, full of wanting to be involved in
activities and so on, and when this part of my body started to
dysfunction, it put me in a kind of a depression. It was very
difficult to deal with the situation where, especially in our
home, things about sex were not discussed. But fortunately,
when the VIAGRA information came about, I saw the opportunity
to maybe see if we could create some kind of
alternatives.
MR. D'AMICO: When you are not performing,
you wonder if you are doing your job, you know. And maybe they
won't say something, you know, but you are always thinking
that they will, sooner or later.

Opening up about
ED
MR. D'AMICO: And, well, I had a blood clot
and he took care of it, and then he recommended a bypass. And
anytime I have a problem, I can talk to him so easy, and he
just helps me right along. He is between a father and a
brother.
MR. TOMAS: I am originally from Latin America.
And there is a problem within the culture to talk about sexual
things, and I think that it's about time that we get off the
dime and either, as doctors or as patients, voluntarily
provide information about our condition, because sometimes we
think we can just forget it, live with something and forget
about it. When here, we have an opportunity to get involved
and make some real changes and make our lives happier, you
know, and why not? Within the Latino culture, I think that we
need to generate more . more thinking to create more awareness
that this is nothing to be ashamed of. You know, it's a
medical problem, you know, if you are not functioning, you
have a medical problem that has a good possibility of being
alleviated. So, why keep your mouth shut or why isn't the
doctor talking to you about this or why aren't you talking to
the doctor about this?
MR. D'AMICO: My wife and I
talked about it, and I said, "The only thing I can do is see
the doctor and see what he says," because he usually takes
care of everything anyway. He is pretty good at what he does.
And finally he told me about VIAGRA and I said, "Well, I will
try it."
MR. LESLIE: Well, we have been with Dr. Kurtz
for the last-
MRS. LESLIE: 15 years.
MR. LESLIE:
15 years. Yeah, I guess about the last 15 years. And he is
almost a friend as much as a doctor.
MRS. LESLIE: He is
more of a friend.
MR. LESLIE: He is more of a friend, I
should say it that way. He is a very caring person. You can
almost talk to him, as a friend and not as a doctor. You know,
he knows . he knows how to communicate with people.

The
VIAGRA experience
MRS. LESLIE: It was like a
honeymoon. After 22 and a half years of not being able to have
physical relations, it was just like a honeymoon.
MR.
D'AMICO: Well, I wasn't too sure it was going to do
anything... And then when the doctor prescribed that, we tried
it and it worked wonderful.
MR. TOMAS: It was a
tremendous change in my entire life. I would like to think
that...not that I'd like to think, I know that it gave me a
much more positive feeling about myself. And this is one of
the reasons I am here today to share this with many of you.
It's a thing that we need to talk about, people . doctors need
to talk about, patients need to talk about it, because you
don't realize what you are doing to yourself by keeping this
thing a secret. You have to get out there and at least give
yourself a try to see how things can make your life different.
And it certainly has made a lot of difference in my life and I
would hope that those of you watching would have the
opportunity to see that kind of a difference....I have 4
children, 2 boys, 2 girls, and 1 living with us now, and he
doesn't seem to believe the kind of energy that is floating
around the house as a result of...he doesn't really know
everything that's going on, but there is a tremendous amount
of change in our lives....It's like a guy who losses an arm
and then somebody, by some stroke of some miracle, produces
something that makes him have the arm to be useful to him
again. You are much more appreciative of something that you
have lost when you regain it.
MRS. LESLIE: I was in the
office, and he called me in one of the rooms, and he said, the
new product had come out. He explained to me what it was, and
he said, "I want you to take it and try it" and I said, "But
there has been nothing for 22 and a half years." He said,
"Just take it and try it." So we decided Friday was date
night. So we had a nice dinner, and took the phone off the
hook so the kids wouldn't call. And he took the VIAGRA and it
worked beautifully.... To be honest, the first night we used
it we both ended up crying, because it was so special, and it
was beautiful. And we knew each other so well, and yet we were
both nervous, because we didn't know what to expect. And after
that many years of not having what you would really call an
intimate moment, it was...it was beautiful.
