Man Sues, Says Doctors Amputated Penis Without His Consent
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.

It Was Found To Be Cancerous
It was found to be cancerous, but it was not something that was an emergency situation. He lives 30 miles away from here. I feel for the guy because he was not given the chance to discuss options or even get a second opinion.
We gotta chop...
We gotta chip your penis off.
Why?
So you can live longer.
Why?

I know I'm being flippant, but I really feel for this guy. The least the doc could have done was to leave as much of the nerve tissue as possible.
I know that some people would like to lose the dangly thing, but not without something just as fun as a replacement.

I don't think it's flippant
It's very much to the point.
