A man claims surgeons amputated his PENIS without permission. The alleged victim says he went in for routine circumcision surgery and awoke to find the organ had been completely removed.
The man and his wife are now suing two doctors and Princeton Baptist Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama, according to the Birmingham News.
The lawsuit claims: "When the plaintiff ... awoke from his aforesaid surgical procedure, his penis was amputated.
The plaintiffs claim before the procedure was carried out in June they "never gave consent for the complete or partial amputation of (his) penis," it adds.
The lawsuit adds that the man was never provided with an explanation as to the medical necessity of
an amputation, nor was warned the circumcision procedure could result in an amputation.
As a result of the allegedly botched surgery, the man says he has suffered unnecessary pain and spent additional time in hospital recovering.
The man's wife is also claiming she has suffered financially because of her husband's injuries.
