Alabama man claims penis was amputated by mistake - Twitchin Kitten - 07-24-2014
See the part in bold? HOW do you NOT know when someone lopped off your dick?
Alabama man claims penis was amputated by mistake <-- clicky
STORY:
(Reuters) - An Alabama man who went in to a hospital last month for a circumcision awoke after surgery to find his penis had been amputated, his lawyer said on Thursday.
Johnny Lee Banks Jr., 56, said in a lawsuit filed in state court earlier this week that no one at the Princeton Baptist Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama, had told him why it had been necessary to remove his penis.
"My client is devastated," said Banks' attorney John Graves.
Banks, who is married and does not work due to a disability, did not recall the precise date of the incident but believed it occurred in June, his attorney said.
A spokeswoman for the hospital's parent company said in a statement that Banks' allegations were without merit.
"We intend to defend all counts aggressively," Kate DeWitt Darden, spokeswoman for Baptist Health System, said in a statement.
The lawsuit does not specify a monetary value of the damages.
Named as defendants in the lawsuit are the hospital, the Simon-Williamson Clinic, Urology Centers of Alabama and two doctors, Graves said.
Representatives for the Simon-Williamson Clinic and the Urology Centers of Alabama did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Whenever ive had anything done at hospital or I was with anyone getting something done they go things over with you and go over it again and again. They also mark the body part with surgical marker. In this dudes case they would write on his dick amputate just to prevent any misunderstandings and mistakes.
The guy is trying to milk money from the hospital, hes already on disability and probably milking the system with that.

Yeah but the big question is HOW DOES HE NOT KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENED?!
This is Alabama too. Maybe they didn't get up to having that magic marker passed around the OR check-in.
They don't mark the area to be worked on, they make the patient do it.

Yeah him not knowing the exact date is a huge concern. Most people for at least a year or two would remember the dates of an operation or medical emergency just due to the trauma and stress of it. I would remember that event for the rest of my life...."the day I lost my dick".

Having had 5 major surgeries and a few minor ones, trust me you remember. Also there are records of this in the hospital and all the doctor's offices involved.
