That was a dick move on the doctor's part...Comment

I dunno, he signed a consent form authorizing the doctor to make his own decisions in an emergency situation and opening the thing up to see that he had deadly cock cancer seems like one of those situations. I mean I agree he should have asked, but I don't think the lawsuit is very legit because the guy was going to get it removed anyways (and finished removing it later after he got his settlement).
Seems like the doctor was just trying to do what was medically necessary and this guy is all in a huff about it. He already got a settlement out of court so why proceed with a civil trial against the doctor? What a dick.

Kentucky jury rules for doctor in penis amputation suit
LOUISVILLE, Ky (Reuters) - A Kentucky doctor acted properly when he amputated part of a truck driver's penis after finding cancer during what was expected to have been a routine circumcision surgery in 2007, a jury found on Wednesday.
Phillip Seaton, 64, had sought $16 million in damages against Dr. John Patterson for performing the partial amputation after he discovered a cancerous tumor on Seaton's penis during the surgery, which had been expected to uncover a fungal infection.
Jurors in Shelby County Circuit Court about 30 miles east of Louisville quickly reached a verdict in favor of Patterson, a Frankfort, Kentucky, doctor.
The jury of six men and six women ruled unanimously against a claim that Patterson failed to exercise proper care. They also ruled 10-2 against a claim that Seaton hadn't consented to the amputation.
Seaton, from Mount Eden, Kentucky, declined to comment after the verdict. His lawyer, Kevin George, said he planned to appeal.
A surgeon cannot change the agreed upon procedure "unless the patient's health is in immediate danger, unless he's in danger of dying immediately on the table," George said.
A key question in the case was whether Patterson should have awakened Seaton and asked for permission to make the amputation. Doctors testifying as medical experts on both sides disagreed on whether an immediate amputation was necessary.
Seaton and his wife, Deborah, had earlier settled with Jewish Hospital Shelbyville and with an anesthesiologist. Terms of those settlements were not disclosed.Comment
