A Kentucky man and his wife are suing two doctors who they say removed the man's penis last October without his consent, wlky.com reported Wednesday.
According to the lawsuit, doctors were to perform a circumcision on Philip Seaton. Instead, they removed his penis after finding cancer, the suit claims.
Seaton is suing Dr. John Patterson, who performed the procedure, Dr. Oliver James, who administered anesthesia, and Commonwealth Urology, PSC, claiming he has suffered mental anguish, pain, and has lost the enjoyment of life since the surgery.
Kevin George, the plaintiff's attorney, told wlky.com that Patterson should not have amputated the organ without first discussing Seaton's options with him.
"Sometimes you have an emergency and you have to do this, but he could very easily closed him up and said, 'Here are your options. You have cancer,' and the family would have said, 'We want a second opinion. This is a big deal,'" George said.
