Chad Hall: Erectile Dysfunction

Posted: Published on March 14th, 2013

Years before Eric Victorino started the Limousines, he and friend Chad Hall talked about writing a poetry book together. This project never materialized, though Victorino would eventually release two books of poetry, Coma Therapy and Trading Sunshine for Shadows, through his and wife Sarah Collins' imprint, Orchard City Books and Noise. Recently, when Hall was finally ready to release his own poetry book, Erectile Dysfunction, naturally Victorino and Collins wanted to release it on Orchard City as well. "What I strive for in my work above all else is honesty, even if it paints me in a bad light," Victorino explains. "Chad's writing comes from a similar place. He's not scared to face his failings and to share them." Hall doesn't just share his failings, he shines a bright light on them and exposes their every detaila process that can be uncomfortable. Hall talks about heartbreak, loneliness, getting drunk, pushing people away and, of course, erectile dysfunction. "It's the ultimate male vulnerability. It's a common thing, yet we're all so embarrassed by it," Hall says. The concept is a perfect platform for Hall as he devotes much of the book dealing with his conflicting ideas and feelings about his own … Continue reading →

Co-author Russ Altman is professor of bioengineering, of genetics and of medicine at Stanford. He says in a statement: "Seeking health information is a major use of the Internet now. So we thought people are likely typing in drugs they are taking and the side effects they are experiencing and that there must be a way for us to use this data." So there is an urgent need to find fast and accurate ways of discovering whether drugs either on their own or in combination have unexpected side effects. In the US the Food and Drug Administration runs a scheme called the Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) where doctors can report side effects.
