    Man went to hospital for circumcision and awoke to find penis amputated (Jefferson County / AL)

    Man went to hospital for circumcision and awoke to find penis amputated, according to Jefferson County lawsuit

    A man says in a medical malpractice lawsuit filed this week that he went in for a circumcision last month at Princeton Baptist Medical Center and awoke to find his penis had instead been amputated.

    The man and his wife filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Jefferson County Circuit Court in Birmingham. He names the hospital, Urology Centers of Alabama, the Simon-Williamson Clinic and two doctors as defendants in the case.

    The lawsuit says the patient was receiving medical treatment from a doctor at Urology Centers of Alabama. Another doctor performed the surgical procedure in June. The lawsuit does not give an exact date.

    "When the plaintiff ... awoke from his aforesaid surgical procedure, his penis was amputated," according to the lawsuit. The plaintiffs "never gave consent for the complete or partial amputation of (his) penis."

    Efforts Tuesday evening to reach the man's attorney, John P. Graves, were unsuccessful.

    Kate DeWitt Darden, vice president of marketing and communications at Baptist Health System, said they do not comment on who might or might not have been a patient and generally do not comment on pending litigation.

    Officials with Urology Centers of Alabama had not immediately responded to a request for comment prior to publication of this story.

    The lawsuit claims that the man was never provided with an explanation as to the medical necessity of an amputation nor was never warned the circumcision procedure could result in an amputation.

    Defendants were negligent for failing to seek assistance from a consulting physician when problems or difficulties were noted during the circumcision procedure, the lawsuit claims.

    The man has suffered additional/extended pain and suffering during his recovery, has spent additional time in the hospital recovering, and has been caused to spend more money. The man's wife also claims loss of consortium.

    The lawsuit does not specify an amount of damages being sought.

    Uhh, yes they did...

    There must be more to this story. It is not as though circumcision and penectomy are similar procedures, albeit that they do involve the same organ. It is akin to conflating a lip-piercing with a beheading.
