Doctors mistakenly cut off the patient penis

American doctors mistakenly cut off the patient the genital organ. A resident of Texas lay on the operation - he should have cut part of the bladder, affected by a cancerous tumor. Waking up, he discovered that the doctors cut off his penis. As it turned out, due to a tragic error. The conflict had to be settled by an extrajudicial agreement, the terms of which are not disclosed, so it is not known how expensive this mistake was treated to two surgeons. It is known, however, that in court the patient Harchel Rolls demanded to reimburse $ 5 million.

It is said that in the extrajudicial agreement, doctors did not recognize the fact of any erroneous actions during the operation. In 1999, when he lay down on the operation, they had to cut the bladder and, possibly, the prostate - whether it was affected by the tumor, the doctors had to clarify during the operation. Two doctors, John Dradyden and Farid Coury, seemed that the tumor also spread to the patient’s penis, so that at the same time it was cut off.

Subsequent tests have shown that the tissues of the Rolls delayed organ were not affected by cancer, reports Reuters.

The lawyer, representing the doctors, tried to challenge the results of the examination, and also indicated that Dradyden warned Rolls about the possible consequences of the operation and that, perhaps, a member would have to be removed. Rolls himself says that he had no idea what could wake up with fragmented.

The process began last week. Rolls, who turned 67 years old, claimed that his wife could not recover from the shock that they felt after they learned about the results of the operation and that the amputation of the penis could be avoided.
