Posted on Aug 10, 2011 3:40pm PDT
A jury has reportedly sided with a doctor in the case of a penis amputation. According to reports, a man went into surgery for a circumcision when the doctor found what appeared to be deadly cancer. The doctor then reportedly amputated less than an inch. The man sued because he had no consented to the amputation although a pathologist did confirm that it was cancerous. The man reportedly plans to appeal because a surgery should only be done without consent if there is imminent danger.
