WoW. This is absurd.
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 cir cision 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 cir cision and only a cir cision, 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.

WoW. This is absurd.
no more towel tricks for him
holy . I'd rather die of cancer
Cancer of the penis? That doesn't sound good.
If I was the doctor I would said "sir I didn't want to say this but you were born a woman and you just so happened to have a cancerous growth in the shape of a penis" I'd put it back on him and then be like " suck on that you !"
I think in texas the guy is only en led to 250k. We had to vote on this several years back. btw, i voted against the limit.
I guess he thought those "penis enlarger" pills were working and his foreskin got too tight.
I find this topic hard to swallow.
no amount of money is worth not being able to use a urinal in the men's restroom.
even at the ATT Center, the toilet seats have urine, paper, food and flies buzzing around the toilet seats. I'd rather eat freaky insects on Fear Factor than sit on one of those bad boys.
That's partially true. He's en led to all medical expenses, no matter how high that number gets and to all economic damages that he sustained, no matter how hight that number gets. His recovery for non-economic damages (pain and suffering, for instance) is capped, generally, at $250,000 for all doctors and another $250,000 for all health care ins utions found liable for the injury.
The caps have largely done away with any kind of medical malpractice lawsuits in Texas.
Did this penis have a mole on it?
Me have extras. What size you want?
Size is not important i just want to make sure it matches my purse.
how much would you say this dude could get?
That's in aweful...I'd kill myself if I woke up without a penis.
UUUUGGGGHHHHH Frankie fix
i'd probably just go nuts...
Why? If Buddy Holly can still live so can you.
What if you still have a penis but just cant see it or reach it,................Tpark your thoughts?
The surgeon sounds like a real hack.
And with the malpractice caps this guy is going to get shorted after his lawyer gets his cut.
I wish there were some way to help the poor guy but I'm stumped.
I bet the sheep in yard can sleep better at night.
Anyone who agrees with this man doesn't know !
