[Previous 9/29/08 post]
(Shelby County, Kentucky) Dr. John M. Patterson of Frankfort is being sued in Shelby County Circuit Court for amputating a man's penis without consent. Dr. Oliver James of Shelbyville is also being sued for administering the anesthetic during the surgery.
Phillip and Deborah Seaton of Waddy, say Phillip went to Patterson last October for a circumcision, which resulted in the doctor removing Phillip's penis, according to the newspaper.The lawsuit claims the amputation was intentional.
The lawsuit states that, "Despite having no consent to remove his penis and despite being advised by Phillip that he did not want him to remove any part of his penis other than the foreskin, Dr. Patterson removed the penis," the newspaper reported.
James is included in the suit because he gave Seaton a general anesthetic after assuring the patient he wouldn't, according to the [Shelbyville] Sentinel.
Obviously, unauthorized removal of the penis is more than a simple Oops!
