awoke to learn that his penis had been
amputated instead.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Jefferson County Circuit Court, according to AL.com. The Urology Centers of Alabama, the Simon- Williamson Clinic and two doctors are listed as defendants. “When the plaintiff … awoke from his aforesaid surgical procedure, his penis was amputated,” the lawsuit alleges, adding that the man “never gave consent for the complete or partial amputation of (his) penis.” “When the plaintiff … awoke from his aforesaid surgical procedure, his penis was amputated.” The procedure was performed in June, according to the lawsuit, but an exact date was not specified.
