Quote:

LOUISVILLE, Ky - A Kentucky man and his wife said two doctors amputated the man's penis without his consent, and have filed a lawsuit.

According to the lawsuit, Philip Seaton, 61, went to have a circumcision last October as part of treatment for a medical condition. Seaton said when he woke up from the procedure, he realized his penis had been amputated.

Seaton has suffered mental anguish, pain, and has lost the enjoyment of life, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed in Shelby County court last week against Dr. John Patterson, who performed the procedure, Dr. Oliver James, who administered anesthesia, and Commonwealth Urology, PSC.

The lawsuit states that Patterson received consent to perform a circumcision and only a circumcision, and that Seaton did not consent to his penis being removed.

Kevin George, the plaintiff's attorney, said Patterson amputated the organ after finding cancer, but he only had consent to remove the foreskin.

"Sometimes you have an emergency and you have to do this, but he could very easily closed him up and said, 'Here are your options. You have cancer,' and the family would have said, 'We want a second opinion. This is a big deal,'" George said.

The lawsuit also claims the plaintiff did not consent to general anesthesia.

WLKY attempted to contact the doctors, but have not been able to reach them.

The Seatons are seeking punitive damages against both doctors and the medical practice. Attorneys for the defendants will now have a chance to respond to the suit.

What? What? That's evil. Why?!
If you lose your penis, no point in being alive, so who cares if it'll kill ya!
Better dead at 60, than to live another 30 years as a half man!

Sadly this is not the worst medical horror story I have heard though it is indeed very sad.

This is exactly the medical procedure that some men hope and pray for, as disgusting as that sounds. There are men out there who actually want their penises mutilated and turned inside-out to approximate a vagina. I will never get over that.

I don't understand it either. The neurostructure and genetic structures are still male.
They are just men with psychological problems!

But, isnt that a little off topic? Intentional desire for an inverted penis and waking up to simply find that it is gone are drastically different things.

I think what the man meant to say.. was that he was a violent sex offender who went in for court ordered penile laming and didn't read the fine print...

I don't know-it's a perpective.

How awful! Who the heck would have ....must have been a new doctor.

Pride in healthcare.

oh me gosh!

If it were a psychological problem than 1) psychology could cure it or at least help diminish the feelings, which is can't and 2) You couldn't tell from a brain scan like an mri that someone's gender didn't match their sex which you can do

It wasn't that long ago that homosexuality was labeled a psychological problem, go back a bit further and only the crazy were heterosexual. You can tell alot about someone's own psychological state when they name states of being that occur naturally and harm no one is being psychological problems as doing so requires holding an irrational fear of those who are different

As I said; a womans brain is shaped very slightly different to a mans, and a woman has two X chromosomes. Not to mention obvious reproduction organs, such as the uterus. A man with an inverted penis is just that - a man with an inverted penis.
Whilst homosexuality is not a mental illness; having a desire to become a woman/man certainly is. Tolerance can only go so far, after all. A line must be drawn on what is merely a different perspective, perhaps uncomfortable to some, but harmless.
But it's a slap in the face to women if a man chooses to - unlike the poor fellow in this thread - lop off their penis and call themselves a woman.

If you want to disagree with it, thats one thing, but you should reallly research it first. Because comments made in ignorance of the facts do nothing to support your statement.

Different perspectivies would not show up in brain scans. Transexualness does. If you see the brain scan of a transexual and aren't told what gender they are, you will identify them as the gender they will become/have become post-op should they choose surgery even if they have taken no steps in the direction of having surgery. That says a lot about how transexuality can't possibly be considered a psychological problem

Sex and gender are two different things, and until society in general stops fearing that, those whose sex doesn't match their gender will have no choice but to have surgery to live a normal life

No, sex and gender are one and the same.
If you don't like it; too bad. Some people don't like being tall, short, fat, scrawny, bald, etc. Too bad!!
To pretend to be a woman when you are not is obscene.
Biologically, they still register as male. Psychologically, even, still male. Wanting to be something and being something aren't the same. Surgery to make them appear female is just that; surgery.
Personally, I don't like the fact that my armspan is 30cm longer than it should be for someone my height. But, if I decided I wanted to cut off my wrists to feel more comfortable, that would be abnormal. Because, hell, even if my armspan isn't quite so lanky, it'd also be pretty obvious of what isn't there.
Don't... hack off bits of your body just 'cause you don't like 'em!
