Man sues hospital for unnecessary penis enlargement

A resident of Canada demands compensation from doctors for the operation that mutilated his genitals

The man sued the doctors of the clinic from the city of Kelowna, located in the west of Canada in the province of British Columbia. He claims that he underwent an unnecessary operation that disfigured his penis. About it informed Victoria News Portal.

The Canadian man, referred to in the article as John Doe for privacy reasons, went to the doctors because he tore a ligament in his groin while riding a mountain bike in the spring of 2020. Due to the injury, the man’s penis slightly curved to the right, but retained erectile function. The man wanted to correct the defect and went to the central hospital of the city of Kelowna. The surgeon at the clinic advised that the patient needed surgery to reattach the torn ligament. Canadian Doe managed to find out that the doctor performed such a manipulation only once, and on a corpse. In addition, a few days before the surgery, the nurse announced to the patient that he was scheduled for a ligamentotomy, an operation to cut the suspensory ligament of the penis. It is usually done to increase the visible part of the male genital organ.

A Canadian who suffered from the actions of the surgeon claims that he told the nurse that this was not the operation he needed. She recommended discussing this with your doctor. The man claims that he tried to call his doctor, but he did not pick up the phone and did not call him back. On the day of the operation, the Canadian again tried to talk to the surgeon, but again to no avail. As a result, on the day of the operation, April 27, 2021, Dow was brought to the operating room, where there were many nurses, “which he was not warned about.” The Canadian himself was strapped to a table.

When the surgeon entered the operating room, Doe again tried to explain to him that he was going to have an unnecessary operation, and warned that he did not agree to it. “The plaintiff began to cry, and the next moment he woke up in the ward with a bandage on his penis,” the statement of claim to the court says.

Doe claims he was shocked by what happened. In addition, he had to endure another operation to correct the damage caused by the doctor. He claims that as a result, he still experiences pain in the groin area and “can’t maintain an erection.” In addition, the patient suffered psychological trauma.

In court, the Canadian will demand reimbursement for treatment costs and compensation for future expenses for restoring health after a surgical error. Representatives of the Canadian Association for the Protection of Doctors have so far declined to comment on the incident.
