BUCHAREST — A court has ordered a Romanian surgeon to pay $795,000 in compensation to a patient whose penis he accidentally severed during an operation.
In July 2004, Naum Ciomu made a surgical error while operating on the man's testicles, severing the penis instead of making an incision to the testicle.
'You don't have to be an expert to realize that the 33-year-old victim does not have a good state of mind,' said Mihai Olariu, the victim's lawyer.
How the heck do you make that kind of error? I'm no surgeon, but doesn't it take a bit longer to entirely sever a penis, vs. making an incision in the testicle??
And once the mistake was realized, couldn't they reattach it? Like they always say if you lose a finger you should put it on ice and bring it to the ER? The article says a piece of muscle was used... what happened to the penis?? Did he mutilate it completely?
That's just horrid. I wonder if the doctor has mental problems or something. And he got a SUSPENDED sentence??
Ugh. I don't watch the news because of stuff like this. Then I come here and read it anyway. I just can't help it, I always give in and read it.
