Man claims penis amputated without consent (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26890724/)
Ky. patient sues doctor, who thought he detected cancer in the organ
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - A Kentucky man who claims his penis was removed without his consent during what was supposed to be a circumcision has sued the doctor who performed the surgery.
Phillip Seaton, 61, and his wife are seeking unspecified compensation from Dr. John M. Patterson and the medical practice that performed the circumcision for “loss of service, love and affection.†The Seatons also are seeking unspecified punitive damages from Patterson and the medical practice, Commonwealth Urology.
A woman who answered the phone at Commonwealth Urology would not take a message for the doctor Thursday. But the Seaton’s attorney said the doctor’s post-surgical notes show the doctor thought he detected cancer and removed the penis. Attorney Kevin George said a later test did detect cancer.
“It was not an emergency,†George told The Associated Press on Thursday. “It didn’t have to happen that way.â€
Seaton was having the procedure on Oct. 19, 2007, to better treat inflammation.

I'd like to know who WOULD give consent.
"Oh, doctor, I checked the "Remove My Penis" box."

I guess no more OW! My Balls!

I got the little man's back. We came into this world together, we're leaving it together...... :-)

That circumcision procedure really came up short. :whatever:
If the case goes to trial, the plaintiff will definitely be a weiner. ::)

I hope the guy didn't leave half-cocked.
I wonder if the doctor doing the circumcision was cockeyed.
Ok. I'm done.

That's Bris, baby!

20 some years ago I had a vasectomy and at the time it sure felt like Big Jim was being amputated. I thought I was a tough guy and didnt need to follow the docs advice to wear an athletic supporter for a few days. THAT was a mistake. :thatsright:
