Bad Doctor

I would never recommend surgery to anyone on less they really needed it. You just never know. Unless your in killer pain, or if you need a life saving procedure don't do it. Anesthesia is the most dangerous part of any surgery. That is why the anesthesiologist get paid the big bucks. But sometimes you have idiot doctors that make decisions for while your unconscious. Like what happened to this guy.

Man Sues Doctors After Penis Amputated

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A Shelby County man and his wife said two doctors amputated the man's penis without his consent, and have filed a lawsuit. According to the lawsuit, Philip Seaton went to have a circumcision last October. Seaton said when he woke up from the procedure, he realized his penis had been amputated.Seaton has suffered mental anguish, pain, and has lost the enjoyment of life, according to the lawsuit.The lawsuit was filed in Shelby County court last week against Dr. John Patterson, who performed the procedure, Dr. Oliver James, who administered anesthesia, and Commonwealth Urology, PSC.

The lawsuit states that Patterson received consent to perform a circumcision and only a circumcision, and that Seaton did not consent to his penis being removed. Kevin George, the plaintiff's attorney, said Patterson amputated the organ after finding cancer, but he only had consent to remove the foreskin.

"Sometimes you have an emergency and you have to do this, but he could very easily closed him up and said, 'Here are your options. You have cancer,' and the family would have said, 'We want a second opinion. This is a big deal,'" George said.

The lawsuit also claims the plaintiff did not consent to general anesthesia.

WLKY attempted to contact the doctors, but have not been able to reach them.The Seatons are seeking punitive damages against both doctors and the medical practice. Attorneys for the defendants will now have a chance to respond to the suit.

And yes that is a whale's penis.
