BBC News - US trucker's penis amputated 'during circumcision'

For the love of the gods! And some people wonder why I don't trust doctors.

US trucker's penis amputated 'during circumcision'

A truck driver in Kentucky whose penis was amputated during an operation is suing the surgeon, claiming it was done without his consent.

Phillip Seaton says his penis was removed during what was supposed to have been a circumcision to treat inflammation four years ago.

Dr John Patterson says he amputated because he found life-threatening cancer during the operation.

The Seatons have already sued Jewish Hospital, where the surgery took place.

The facility settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.

'Loss of service'
Mr Seaton and his wife, Deborah, are suing Dr Patterson for damages.

On Monday, Mr Seaton's lawyer told jurors during opening arguments in the civil case in Shelbyville, Kentucky, that his client no longer felt like a man.



The lawyer, Kevin George, said Dr Patterson had never given any indication before the 2007 procedure that Mr Seaton was suffering from cancer.

"He's angry because Dr Patterson took off his penis without asking; without giving him a choice; without giving him the opportunity to check around and talk to other people," Mr George was quoted by Associated Press news agency as telling the court.

He showed jurors four photographs of Mr Seaton's crotch, saying: "You can see there's nothing there."

Clay Robinson, a lawyer for Dr Patterson, said his client had only removed the tip of the penis after he had found cancer.

He also contends that Mr Seaton had signed a document authorising necessary treatment in unforseen circumstances.

He said another doctor had later removed the rest of the organ.

"Mr Seaton is here today, able to be in this courtroom... because John Patterson saved his life," Mr Robinson said.

Mr Seaton and his wife are seeking unspecified damages for "loss of service, love and affection".

Penile cancer is rare, with only 1,360 new cases and 320 deaths estimated in the US in 2011, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Careful Murph, I'm a nurse.

Most excellent. I shall forevermore picture you in your nurse's uniform. I assume it's the traditional one like this. If not, I don't want to know.

LL- I was born and raised in Connecticut. Vacationed at the Cape too! I wonder if we ever ran into one another.

Murph, I must INSIST that you stop using my picture as your avatar! My 38 Longs are embarrassing enough without having them all over the internet peeping out below my sweater!

I thought we were friends????:h

Sorry DG, it was wrong of me to draw attention to your wardrobe malfunction but you must wear longer sweaters or some seriously reinforced bras. No wonder your vagina is so angry. Or have we done that joke already?:H

Well, we had fun so we can do it again, I think. :H

Hi Murph! How are you doing these days? Hope you are feeling as good as your sense of humor.

I'm doing great thanks DG. I'm down to a reasonably low level of baclofen (and about to try my luck at a further drop), I have no side effects apart from a little somnolence in the evening, and I'm sober, which is of course the main thing. The sobriety is easy and natural and 6 months on from 'the switch', indifference' or whatever one calls it, I'm really starting to come to terms with sober living. By which I mean expecting sobriety rather than thinking it's all about to fall apart at any minute and I'll again become the evil bastard I once was. Depression is under control, thanks to various meds and supps (I can't do anything naturally ) and all in all I've really no complaints.

I see you popping up all over the place and doing great works supporting other people (I do occasionally ventured out from the Meds section and have a look around at the rest of MWO) but how are you doing?

Hurricane Irene has come and gone, and my beautiful lawn and gardens are covered with sticks and leaves and whatnot. My yard looks like a women who slept in her makeup and is a mess the next day. ( I know that is a Murph-type thing to say) Anyway, I have the next two days off and will most likely spend it cleaning up after Irene. Ugh! I need some inspiring Baclofen stories to think about during the endless hours of clean up. Any volunteers?:thanks:
